The unthinkable. Senior Terry Hansen, Pernchik, and junior Robin Fetters, Hodel, dance together even though dancing was not allowed in those times. The Big Event Beating hearts set play pace The lights dim, the crowd suddenly becomes quiet, the first note is plucked from a violin, and over 40 hearts are beating per minute. The anxiety felt by the cast of “Fiddler on the Roof” slowly begins to mount on opening night. It’s very hard for a person not involved in a play to conceptualize the amount of work put into one. An actor must learn lines, learn how to speak clearly while also using an accent, learn how to dance, and learn how to become the character they’re portraying before they appear on stage. A play would hardly be possible without the aid of lighting crews, set crews stage crews, sound crews, and the orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Cynthia Spejewski. To maintain the large “Fiddler” cast under supervision a play needs a director. Mr. Gerald Spejewski fulfilled the necessary requirements of leadership successfully throughout the production. Why would someone want to sacrifice their social life, free time, family and friends to put on a play? “When you walk onto the stage it’s a challenge to make people laugh or cry. It’s also great to hear the thundering applause at the end of a show, that’s why I did it,” senior Tim Martin said. A dream come true. To prevent her granddaughter’s marriage , Grandma Tzeitel, Diane Chmiel, returns from the grave with a cautious warning. Breaking tradition. Sophomore Jeff Farley, the Rabbi, breaks a tradition as he dances with junior Jenny Marshall, Tzeitel, at her wedding.

Honor programs involve competition In order to survive in this world humans must compete. Competition is an aspect of behavior common to all. It is encountered in everyday life, even everyday student life. Commonly competition is associated with winning or losing. However, competition is also experienced when applying for a position on an honors program. Excellence in the athletic field is awarded with a letter and membership in the Varsity Club. The organization is composed of athletes who display superior ability. The Bowling Club is also an organization which awards its members with a letter. Only after 1,000 points of avid bowling, the student may receive the symbol of recognition. Not only are honors presented to the sportsman, but also to the intellectual. Portraying talent in leadership and interest in government enables students to run for Student Council and compete for Girl’s and Boy’s State delegates. Traditionally two boys and two girls are chosen to travel down state to observe political affairs. To acknowledge a larger portion of the academically successful students the National Honor Society was created. Not only grades, but also character, leadership, and service are considered for acceptance. If a student excels in journalism after one year he may be considered for membership in Quill and Scroll. An upper third class ranking and approval of present members is also required. Obviously the clubs serve as honorary status but they also prepare students for the real world. They symbolize a future of competition.
