Liz Belkin. and Mike Devine flaunt their hopeful destinies. ?LOLLEGE? ollege: a word that meant many things to different people. To most of us in Edina it was the place one went after graduation. The question often asked was not, Are you going to col- lege? , but rather, tiWhere are you go- ing to college? Why has this standard been set in Edina? Because we were one of the top high schools in the nation, it was expected that Edina students move on to a higher level of education after graduating. However, just graduating from Edina did not promise anyone instant accep- tance into the college of his choice. The process began with long hours of study- ing. The time and effort put into getting a B, or even an A on one's report card did not go unnoticed on college applica- tions. The most grueling of all exper- iences one went through before accep- tance anywhere was to take the S.A.T. test. The S.A.T., made up by scholars across the world, was designed to make even the brightest student feel like an idiot. This degrading experience, howev- er, played a major part in ones accep- tance to any college. After one has made the important de- cision to go to college, one has a multi- tude of campuses around the nation to choose from. To narrow down one's choices one had to make more deci- sions: a big or small school, instate or out-of-state, an all-girls or all-guys school as opposed to a co-ed college . . . the list goes on. An important part in helping a student make his decision was visiting different college campuses. Vis- iting different colleges could be purely informational or just fun, most often it was a little of both. The best kind of tours were given by people one knew, an older brother, sister, or friend. If one did not know anyone on campus there were usually guided tours daily. Many important factors could be observed from a college tour such as the beauty of the campus and the people living there, and also important, the social ac- tivities which students engage in. After one had evaluated all the as- pects of college and was certain it was the school of his choice; there was one final step, application and acceptance. Once he had been accepted, the student could relax, slough off his senior year, and prepare for his life away from home. MOnbr COLLEGES 19

The combined efforts of author Michael Stewart and music and lyrics writer Jer- ry Herman produced the spectacular musical, Hello Dolly. Performing the lead roles were Pam Moore as Dolly and Doug Montgomery .as ' Horace Vandergeider. Dan Taube. Tim Bixby and Beth- any Rogers aiso contributed to the success of the show. Nanci Greene played her PLA role to the T, delighting the audience throughout the entire show with her portray- al of Minnie Fay, the timid seamstress. The chorus, consisting of thirty-four dedir cated students, sang and danced with gusto, comple- menting the major charac- ters, and amusing the audi- ence. As in any play, the or- chestra played mo pun in- tendedi a big part in the musical. Percussionist Julie 66 IO Harrold commented, al- though practices were long and tedious, the show was well worth the effort! Also contributing to the total pro- duction were the crew mem- bers: make-up, set construc. tion, publicity, poster, prop- erties, tickets, lights, and sound. Rehearsals were many, disrupting homework, relax- ation and tempers. Doug Montgomery's parents re- marked after his first gruff lines, iiHeis been acting iike that all Vweek. The hard work paid off, however, as Dolly proceeded to pair de- lighted couples together, while planning her own mar- riage as well. Again, Edina students kept us spellbound with their amazing talent. 99 20 HELLO DOLLY Pam Moore. as Dolly Levi, looks and sounds stun- ning in the title role.
