Student Life Looking At Ourselves Living! Taking life for what it ' s worth! That ' s what the life of a student is all about. Letting go when the time is right and cracking down when it ' s time for books, that’s all a part of living too. It ' s the way a student handles his free time and proves to be the most exciting. Activities are a time when the students are allowed to put aside the books and studying for just a while to enjoy life ' s many special adven tures. Clubs, sports, and summer are just a few of the opportunities giving students a chance to express themselves Summer is a very big part in the life of a student. These few but precious months open the doors for creativity and individuality. Trips to Marriott and the beaches, softball leagues, and jobs are very popular. Free time always offers the chance for self-expression; various clubs, sports, and societies during the year help students develop this concept. Many dances throughout the year provide the excitement of dating. Dances such as Prom and Turn-About provide an atmosphere of relaxation and a pressure-free evening. A student ' s life should never be dull! With all of the activities offered, there is barely enough time to fit everything into an already hectic schedule. But isn’t that how it should be? Using all of your time for the things you need to do, yet making time for the things you want to do is all a very special part of life.

He charmed his way into our hearts as he sang about the evils of playing pool, and we watched as he conned so shrewdly the townspeople into bel ieving he was a qualified music teacher. But his plans were thwarted when Charlie Cowell, portrayed by Mark Brownd, recognizes Harold Hill and exposes the Music Man. Under the direction of Mr. Larry Stuber, the lead roles of Harold Hill and Marian the Librarian were brought to life by Tom O ' Donnell and Chris Miller. Harold Hill ' s friend, Marcellus, was portrayed by Jim Prather; while Marian’s mother, Mrs. Paroo. was played by Margie Reed. Other charming characters were Mayor Shinn and his family, played by Kevin Guzowski, Patti Fleszewski, Kim Klawitter, and Alexis Plautz. Also featured were Jodi Smith, Shannon Harkin, Mary Sue Bruynell, and Leslie Williamson in their roles as the Pickalittle Ladies. The quartet, consisting of Mark Beitz, Bob Boyer, Lewis Rea, and Eugene Szymoniak, added a cheerful tune here and there, such as “Lida Rose and Sincere .
