Only imagination limits Where Patriots vacation Enjoying his California vacation. Senior Mike Crouch had to visit the Hollywood Bovkl. Enjoying track camp. Duane Childs and Mark McCoy spent time keeping track skills at a peak. X ou slam your locker for the last time, and walk down the nearly deserted hall. It ' s the last day of school. Another year has ended. Behind you lies the months of a year of hard work, homework and studying, ahead of you lies three empty months, just waiting for you to spend them. But the question is how? Where should you spend your luxurious summer hiatis? Patri- ots had several choices. Some found exciting trips to exotic places where they could spend their time. Five members of the JMHS German Club jet- ted to Oldenburg, Germany, where they toured castles, vis- ited German villages and ab- sorbed aspects of German cul- ture. Participant Mindi Leps- cum stated, Those few weeks we spent overseas were some- thing I ' ll never forget. Other Patriots spent vacation time closer to home in the U.S. Yearbook Photo Editor Scott Cox and Senior Mike Crouch spent a glorious sun-filled time in California. We saw all the Hollywood sights, Universal Studios, the Chinese Theatre, the walk of stars, said Cox, All the things we ' ve seen on T.V.! It was so great to actually be there. It was so unreal! Other Patriots chose to spend the summer pursuing their aca- demic interest by attending workshops at nearby colleges. Seniors Tracy Tarter and John Lacy attended Theatre Semin- als, John at Ball State, Tracy at Indiana State. We worked on the fundamental aspects of the theatre as well as character de- velopment and voice projec- tion, said Tarter. It was a great chance to meet a lot of peo- ple who shared my interest in the theatre, related Lacy. Sev- eral yearbook staff members attended the High School Jour- nalism Institute at Indiana University where they caught up on new techniques of jour- nalism, and learned new ideas to apply to their own book. Copy Editor Cindy Waller said, Not only did we learn useful infor- mation, but there were a lot of fun activities to participate in. Choosing to serve their com- munity or other organizations such as the Boys Club, Patriot Jerry Jones worked as counsel- or at a Boys Club summer camp. Not only did i t give me a taste of leadership, said Jones, Working with the kids was really interesting. Whether getting to Europe or the west coast or pursuring academic endeavors, Patriots spent their vacations doing just what came natural, even if it meant just staying home and watching General Hospital and what ' s wrong with that! by Mark J.

Lights, camera, action — A comedy. X hrough the many trials of production, English teacher and drama director, Jerry Hurst once again came through with another enjoyable comedy. This year ' s play was You Can ' t Take It With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. The cast consisted of some tal- ented Patriots that, although faced with a few unusual and untimely obstacles, came out with an excellent production. The show, telling the story of a slightly bizarre family, the Vanderhofs, and what occurs in their household, was split into three acts and performed to an adequate audience, November 5-6. Set in the post-depression era of 1935, the theme of the play could be summed up in the question, You may have mon- ey, but are you really happy? The play was sort of a Romeo and Juliet story with comedy in- stead of tragedy. Alice, seem- ing to be the only normal one of the zany family, is in love with her rich conservative boss ' son, Anthony Kirby Jr., but fears the futility of marriage be- cause of the contrast between families. After an unsuccessful dinner party and a police raid, all seems at a loss for the lovers until Grampa Vanderhof res- cues the day convincing Mr. Kirby all will be well if he just relaxes. The hours of rehearsal that went into the show, finding cos- tumes, and the stage crew ' s work on the set culminated in a fine rendition. Although there was some adlibbing and missed cues, not to mention the couch ' s strange desire to be a rocking chair, the play came off well and a sigh of relief was appropriate for all, even the au- dience, as the curtain finally fell. Mr. Hurst expressed his ex- treme thanks to stage crew di- rector, Mr. Justice for his sup- port of the whole production. We couldn ' t have done it with- out him! by Lisa Murphy and Dav Mo- gollon Fall Play 25
