‘Auntie Marne’ Curtain falls on great season The spring play, Auntie Mame, takes place in the time period from 1928 to 1946. It was about a high society woman who has to raise her neph- ew, Patrick, after his father passed away. She raised her nephew in the best way she knew, introducing him to a wide variety of strange and extremely eccentric people. This causes many problems later in the play when Patrick's trustee, Mr. Babcock, finds out about the way Patrick is being raised. He totally reforms Patrick's way of life. Soon after, Auntie Mame falls in love and gets married to a rich southern gentle- man. She goes off on her honeymoon, which lasts for a few years. In the mean- while, Patrick has grown up and has be- come a snob. Auntie Marne's husband Beau, died, and Auntie Mame returns to find that Patrick is planning to get married. She dislikes Patrick’s choice for a bride and her family. She foils the wedding plans by let- ting them meet the side of Pa- trick’s past that they don't know about. The play was a tremendous success and end- ed one of the best theatre sea- sons in JHS theatre history. MAME'S BEST FRIEND, Vera Charles (at right), is always at her side.

Fun activities bring joy On Monday before Easter vacation, the JHS Booster Club hosted the Good News Bears,” a basketball team composed of members of the 1986 Super Bowl champions, the Chicago Bears. The gym was packed with rowdy, excited fans of all ages as the Bears played members of Johnsburg's school staff. The first quarter the Bears battled the junior high staff; second quarter was against Johnsburg administrators; third quarter was against the high school men; and fourth quarter the Bears played the high school women. The Bears won 89- 87. Bear players were Tyrone Kee, Jim Morrisay, Ken Taylor, Shawn Gayle, Ste- phen Humphries, and Danny Rains. In April, the “Amazing Mr. Shafton” presented two assemblies in which he hypnotized about 40 students. After giving an introduction about hyp- notism, Mr. Shafton put volunteer students into a deep, hypnotic sleep. With the hypnotist’s sug- gestions, students thought their shoes were phones, that they lost fingers, that they were on a bumpy bus, that they were watching a horror show. etc. 3IVING THE JR. HIGH a helping hand, Ty- one Kee lifts junior high coach Dick Sea- orn to the basket for a '•dunk.” 22
