JOBS This year, quite a few Edina-East students chose to find employment outside of their regular school activities. Many employers were happy to hire eager high school aged help. The Southdale Target store and the new Brothers Restaurant on 50th and France were reknowned for hiring an abundance of East students. Junior and seniors made up the majority of those who worked during the year. New learning experiences, college savings and extra spending money provided the incentives for acquiring a part-time job. In addition to these, gaining work experience and meeting new friends were the highest bonuses. In spite of the advantages of a part-time job, there were times when working didn't appeal so readily - like Friday nights for instance. Common complaints were tired feet and the late shift with a test the next day. There were times when one would have liked to call in sick and opt for an afternoon of nothingness. However, most were faithful to their responsibilities and reaped the benefits. 21 Egging groceries for customers at Byerly's, junior Dave Shay thinks about a way to quench his growing thirst.

There's No Plays Like Home Marlene Tungseth, as the Good Witch comfort a green skinned muni hkin of the North, reaches out her hand to scared by the witch. WIZARD OF OZ The unusually large cast of the Wizard of Oz insured its success. Amongst the shrill screams and quick, little footsteps of the munchkins was the terrifying laugh of the Wicked Witch of the West. The munchkins, made up of elementary, junior and senior high students, enhanced the fanciful land of Oz with their rainbow shades of skin color. The witch, in contrast, petrified the crowd with her horrifying green skin. The costuming was colorful, varied and added so much to the sense of wizardry felt by the audience during the five performances. The Edina-East production of this play varied a bit from the original script. They added graceful ballet dancing and exciting modern dancing, modern sound effects and a few clever new scenes. One that all who attended adored was when Dorothy and the Scarecrow couldn't get across the bridge, on the way to Oz, because they were detained by the witch's sorcery. The Wizard of Oz was sold out almost every night and the people that attended most defintely got what they paid for. 22 Mike 5poodis, Heidi Widell, Charlie Rachmann, Marlene Tungseth and Gregg Marquardt band together fight the wicked witch.
