It’s All A Setup Unity was the key to success for the Volleyball Club, and kept the players fired up and ready to go! Not only did the members work well together but they got along well as a team and there was hardly ever an argument. Most of the players were well exper- ienced so the team looked forward to an awesome season and a good year. The team, which was made up of 14 seniors, juniors, and sophomores, consisted mainly of returning play- ers, so everyone pretty well knew each other. The team pulled itself together in early March, with no- table help from T.J. Merritt, who could be called the team coordinator. Everyday during sixth period and often after school the club practiced different techniques. For extra practice, members often took advantage of The Clairemont High School Gym, which is always open to young players who wish to practice there in the evenings. Brian Fowler executes another one of his powerful serves. Showing a lot of effort. Paul Franco kneels down to volley the ball. Organizations 143

MAOISON H.S. AUDITORIUM The entire cast was full of determination, and we weren't going to let the fact that most of us were new to the acting scene at Madison get in our way of being successful, explained junior, Gina Dicataldo, who portrayed Florence. The Female Odd Couple was under the direction of Mr. Hollenbeck and gra- duate, Toni Gomez. For weeks they helped the cast prepare. Of course it took more than the cast and directors to make the play a smash. The stage crews and set constructors also put a lot of time and effort into the play. The odd couple was portrayed by senior, Shannon Powers who played Olive, and Gina Dicataldo. It all began when Florence's husband asked for a divorce after 14 years of marriage. Being the great friend that she was, Olive insisted that Florence be her new roommate. Olive had no idea what she had done. Florence was driving her absolutely crazy with her hunger for perfection. Olive was anything but per- fect. She was the one that made the messes and relaxed, while Florence was cleaning or cooking. The living situation impossible, Olive finally realized that things had to change. Then Florence ruined their dates with their handsome Spanish neighbors, Manolo and Jesus. Well, like always everything worked out fine. Olive went back to living alone, and Florence, well, she suprised everyone by pulling her life back together and moving in with Manolo and Jesus. This was only the begining of another successful year with the Madison Theatre Arts Guild. Florence sits in distress, trying to hide her depression from her friends. These Spaniards sure know how to greet a woman. Productions 145
