Clifford Bradshaw (Kyle Hansen) exclaims Gee Gorgeous, I thought you ' d never ask! Ernst Ludwig (Michael Radensky) trys to con- vince Clifford Bradshaw (Kyle Hansen) of the benefits of the Nazi Party. Life Is A Cabaret Where can you expect to find a Party that features a dancing gorilla, a crazy M.C., a group of ladies of the even- ing, and a couple of Nazi sailors? You know the answer to this question if you attended this years ' spring musical. The drama department, under the di- rection of Mr. Paul Bucalstien, put on four performances of the musical CABARET. ' The show, airing from March 14- 17th, included all of the fun mentioned above, plus a lot more. The story is about a cabaret (dance-hall bar), in Berlin just before World War II. The play shows scenes from inside the cabaret, with all of the interesting people who frequent it. Through the playing out of these scenes, the audi- ence sees the Nazi influence taking over Germany. The end of the play is sad, with the Nazis finally taking over, and leaving everyone in the cabaret in a downhearted mood. But the ac- tors of the play weren ' t left feeling blue; they had had a lot of fun putting on the show, and they had put on a great performance. Cabaret 27

Hillbillies Love Sadie ' s Hoedown On the count of three the girls were off and running, catching every available man, to take to FUHS ' annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The girl-date dance, sponsored by the Idakas, was held in the south gym and proved to be a big success. The theme of the dance was traditional hill-billy, with the gym being decorated in a farm setting. Bales of hay were provided for the dancers to take a rest on, or the more adventur- ous couples could take a break by getting married by Mr. Daniels. Pictures were also taken to commemorate the evening. Idakas sold 150 tickets to the dance, and as president of Idakas, Melissa Britt said, The evening went well and I think everyone had a lot of fun. t.-- ' v- ' : . • •, Mr. W.E.D. pronounces the happy couple, Laurie Tenney and Jessie Guzman, man and wife.
