Well on Oct. 3, 4, and 6 Ms. Sharie Bailey and the cast gave the audience their opinion. The main idea behind the story is that happiness is more important than money. Ms. Bailey commented I felt the play went very well, and the kids did a great job. The cast spent about 32 hours a week practicing, yet profits were only about 3200. Even though the crowd was not what was expected, the cast felt proud of what was accomplished. So, it's up to the audience to decide. Can you take it with you?

And with all the confetti that was thrown around, the chance of leaving the gym without some in your' hair was slim. Students and faculty alike got down with the Vikings and were as cold as they could be. Suddenly, the shouts were hushed as the band played the Alma Mater.

Finally, out of breath and with flushed cheeks, students slowly poured out of the gym and made their way to their first period classes.
