. . . 'tradition’ l J Due to the 17 snow days, the show had to be cancelled for one week in order to get in the necessary practice. The practice paid off, and, according to the student body, the play was a success. I really enjoyed myself, said Danielle Heston, freshman. Australian exchange student Brett Bourke said, It s one of the best shows I've ever seen. Everything about it was so professional. We've done shows back home, but never anything like this. A number which immediately received applause was the Bottle Dance. Four young men balanced bottles on their heads while juggling other bottles. They also formed a line, going onto their knees and into a standing position again, still with the bottles placed on their heads. The most talked about number was the Dream sequence, where Tevye tells his wife Golde about his horrible dream. It had ghosts of family members and friends, even the nine foot tall Fruma — Sarah. She was formed by Larry Weaver, junior, and alumni Joy Steadman, who sat on his shoulders. The special effects, ranging from a spinning bed to fog, kept the audience in suspense. By Sunday afternoon, after the last note was sung and everyone had left, the actors felt that they had done a job well done and had kept the tradition of the school musical. 20 Spring Musical PATIENTLY ENDURING THE effects of spirit gum Senior Rich Ellington waits while Junior Becky Setler adjusts his beard.
