No doubt itls the 1981 Edina Homecoming. Successful. 1y spanning the traditions of two schools, this yearls festivities ran smoothly due to the extra efforts of general co-chairper- sons Staci Kamps, Kaki Taylor, Cin- dy Thatcher, and Jim Kaju. The festivities commenced Friday afternoon at the Homecoming pepfest with emcees Bill Belvedere and Dave Giannoble portraying llFantasy lslandl, characters Mr. Rourke and Tatoo. Spurn- ing their formal tuxedo and long dress attire, the court donned pajamas and sleeping bags and hopped across the gym to their seats. Entertaining the crowds with satirical skit finesse, the sophomores presented uSophomorels Revenge, and the juniors performed The Return of the Pun- kettesl, while the seniors portrayed the theme llBuzz yem Bald. A-Buf closed out the presentations in a mock football game complete with a human football flying through the goalposts. In a split decision faculty skit judges liLuclous Larry Stotts, Cleaver Beaver, and i it i iiPummelling Pat Petri awarded the seniors first place, with the sophomores a close second. Floats, balloons, and marching bands stretched from Countryside School to the football field as the twenty four court members were escorted across town in Friday nightls Homecoming parade. Mak- ing use of ilborrowed woodf, the Latin Club float stole first place in the float competition. Once at the field, the foot- ball team broke an old East-West tradi- tion of losing Homecoming games by ful- filling the slogan liThe Eagle has landed in the Hornetls Nest? stinging Kennedy 13 - 0. Homecoming provided a good oppor- tunity for the continued blending of East and West identities. Senior Anne Mur- phy stated, llFormerly being from West, I really enjoyed the East tradition of pep- fest skits and a pre-game parade. It made Homecoming even more excitingW Tra- cy Albinson added, liAs a member of Student Council, I got to drag the court out of bed at all hours of the morning. I hope we have more traditions like thatV,

Then three men, Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert, took the books idea and transformed it into a play. Frank Loesser wrote music and lyr- ics for a musical. Mr. Peterson, Edinais musical director, chose this certain musi- cal for a reason: it had a large cast, many leads, and lively music. Also the Edina community could identify with the busi- ness scene. Act I Auditions for the play were announced the first day of school, and began the following week. They included dancing, singing, and reading tryouts. Mr. Peter- son and Mr. John Command, a profes- sional artistic director and choreo- grapher, kept their eyes open for stu- dents with the necessary and appropriate talents. After many difficult decisions, the. cast of about fifty was chosen. Receiving the lead roles were Dan Felton as Finch, Annie Hubbard as Rosemary, Mary Anne Sullivan as Smitty, Mike Mol- lerus as Frump, Jay Bender as J .8. Big- ley, and Bethany Rogers as Hedy. Act II The rehearsals were long, tiresome, and frustrating. Scenes had to be repeat- ed again and again until perfection was in sight. Mr. Peterson and John Com- mand combined their talents to guide the cast to a professional-like production. Dress rehearsals were the final step and provided a time to iron out any kinks and to get an idea of what the final perfor- mance would be like. Make-up and cos- tumes were worn for the first time.
