Substitute Parents Step In Traditional Household Work Performed With Students Who Lead Double Lives In today ' s world, teenagers are starting to get an earlier start at keeping up a house and family. More and more families need to have both mom and dad working to keep up with rising prices. This predicament has left many teenagers holding down the fort. This isn ' t unusual though.

Sophomore Chris O’Halloran ' s mother works and he was left to watch his little sister. As for cleaning and cooking, I leave that up to my sister, he said. Younger brothers and sisters can sometimes help or just get in the way. Sophomore Annette Flores sometimes had this problem with her little brother Danny. Sometimes he ' ll help me but he usually just has his friends over to make the mess,” Annette said. Arguments among siblings are quite common. Annette ' s brother could get pesty at times she said, and ... he doesn ' t always listen to me. He has tried to lock me out of the house a few times.

Sometimes the term, replacing mom and dad ends with taking little brother or sister with when going out.

Show Talent Combination Of Schools Griffith, Lake Central Stage r Grease ’ Production On January 8 and 9, 1984, the Griffith drama department in conjunction with the Lake Central Theatre Guild put on the musical Grease produced and directed by Mr. and Mrs. Paul and Angie Lowe, theatre directors from Lake Central and Mr. Ray Weaver, theatre director from Griffith. But this was not a routine play put on by a high school. There was something very different about this show. Not only was it a joint production between two high schools, but it featured the talent from all over the state. There weren’t only high school students acting, there were college students and a couple of adults as well. Since most of the actors and stage crew were full time students of some sort, that meant that they couldn ' t take three months to prepare for the performances like an average play. Instead most of the people went to a summer workshop at Indiana State University in Terre Haute and performed there first. After four and a half months everyone congregated to Griffith High School to do the show one last time. Junior Barb Glassford said, It was great fun working with people from all over the state. Those people have the best talent in the state. I would really like to do something like this again.” One, Two, Cha-Cha. Danny Zuko, played by Tony Grand Prize Winners.
