(Above) Rabbit, Karen Moss, manages to grin through layers of colorful grease paint and powder. Drama productions chose a children’s theatre, Winnie the Pooh and selections from three Broadway musicals as their fall and winter entertainment. The 13-member cast of Winnie the Pooh, directed by Ms. Suzanne Hill, found many hurdles in their journey through the 100 Acres Woods. Hand- made costumes and hours spent in the make-up chair molded each cuddly character for the theatre in-the-round production. Colorful costumes, bright scenery and lively characters proved to be popular especially with a young audience. Segments of 42nd Street, West Side Story, and Pippin were selected for the winter pro- duction. Student director Dawna Breuer, under the guidance of Ms. Hill, chose an 11-member ror=T) a CoM cele) (e ME-WEIT-V 9-1 CMR) Mol tT- e-em ters, songs, and dance in two evening performances of ‘“‘Bits and Pieces.’’ On the final evening, after the sets were stripped and the performers changed, the snow which had fallen so quietly outdoors, turned into a vicious storm, - cancelling the cast party. The two evenings of “Bits and Pieces” came to a fascinating but abrupt end.

With a district extending over five communities, buses are the main source of transportation to school. David Griffith, for example, lives on the northern district border line, 23 miles from school. By the end of six years David had ridden the bus 46,440 miles or enough to go around the world 1% times. Plus, he’s spent 844 hours or approximately 35 days of his life riding a bus. Many students like Jim Kaegel find themselves waiting 15 minutes after school for their bus. Jim and others like him have spent seven days of their high school ca- reers waiting for a homeward-bound bus. Sitting at transfer points, arriving late, and waiting for broken down buses to be repaired steal even more of a stu- dent’s time.
