Caught doing or saying the wrong thing or in the wrong place at the wrong time, students wound up in Solitary Confinement A week, a month, a nine weeks or even a semester of staring at white walls, writing letters or walking to school tended to put even the good tempered in a sour mood. “I give my parents the silent treatment and act mean,” con- fessed Junior Todd Cianfrocca. Being grounded has been a part of students lives since grade school, but the punishment has taken a turn for the worse. “Before I couldn’t leave the house. Now they take away the car,” recounted Dana Brooks, ju- nior. The length of punishment and the type depended on the severity of the crime. Sophomore Bill Burns said, “I couldn’t leave my room ex- cept for dinner for a month. I lis- tened to so much music that I knew every top 40 song by heart.” Staying out too late, mouthing off and grades landed a lot of stu- dents in the dog house. “My father said I needed to grow up,” commented Charlotte Yost, sophomore. However, taking away privileges hit students where it hurt the most. “My parents grounded me from the telephone for talking back,” noted Chris Rowand, junior. Junior Eric Cigrand admitted that he couldn’t drive the car for an ent ire nine weeks because of his re- port card. 11 out of 25 students pointed out that they’d never been grounded. “I think it’s because they never found out what I did wrong,” rea- soned Sophomore Julie Shaffer. A Freshman added that her mother won’t ground her because she knows she’s too soft to make it stick. Even though parents felt the punishment fit the crime, students had to grin and bear it, like it or not.

ROARING TWENTIES - As a finale, Fay (Terri Haught) and Marcel (Mark Clarke) demonstrate the Charleston. FALSE IDENTITIES — Finally com- ing together, Polly (Jenny Bomar) and Tony, (John Maselli) recognize their mutual love. To produce two musicals and a Childrens’ Theatre, young dramatists found themselves Struggling to Succeed With anything one attempts in life come hardships and rewards. The Thespian Troup 2243 and the Choraliers who presented the musicals “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” and “The Boy- friend” had their share of each. As part of the Children’s Theat re project, fourth, fifth and sixth graders from all over the county visited the school to see the first production. Despite the endless hours of practicing after school, the cast felt it was worth it. “Seeing how happy it made the little kids was great,” remembered Senior Tammy Preston, who por- trayed Patty. “Their faces just lit up,” added Junior John Maselli, who acted as Snoopy. Getting the words and dance to- gether, learning to tap dance, iden- tifying with the character and 56 costume changes were obstacles the 19-member “The Boyfriend” cast confronted. “The hardest thing for me was conquering the French accent,” ex- plained Junior Maggie Enos, who posed as Madame Dubonnet. The art of entertaining seemed to be the biggest cast pleaser. Senior Sharene Sindledecker, who starred in both plays and taught chorerography, said, “I loved teaching the kids the dances and then seeing them do and enjoy them. In working toward a goal the road is long and hard. But hopeful- ly the positive factors always out weigh the negative ones although success may not come easily. “The hardest thing is shutting down the show. You just want to stay on stage forever,” commented Senior Sharene Sindledecker. Struggling to Succeed 29
