Marriage It almost didn ' t happen in this ' 50s comedy O n November 13 at 8:00 P.M., the wedding plans were finalized and the ceremony began. FATHER OF THE BRIDE took off in front of an audience of invited guests full of anticipation and laughter. In the story, the Banks family struggles with their eldest daughter’s upcoming wed¬ ding. The ' 50s comedy, authentic down to the wingtips, portrayed a true sense of the age. The audience witnessed the ‘ ' corniness,” home life, and woman’s role and marriage customs of 30 years ago. Although I do not agree with many of the values and ideals of the time, I feel it is important for the au¬ dience to walk away recognizing how times have changed,” stated Mrs. Ciochina, theater director. Five weeks of hard work and hec¬ tic fun certainly paid off. Since each of the characters were distinct and different from the rest, the cast seemed to enjoy their performances and made the most of each appear¬ ance. Everything from the obvious down to the little touches showed us a truly delightful comedy, adding to Lowell’s mark of excellence in theater performances. Melinda Wortinger Breakfast Chat Over breakfast, the Banks family discusses the ups and downs of Kay’s (Alyssa Laumeyer) love life. 0 Fall Play

L WS opmd its doo is to Qwot would owl got wiucR in nefuuui (jon. jjOton T hirteen Costa Rican exchange stu¬ dents arrived on October 13 for a short stay of two weeks and participated in our daily routine. Many of the students thought our school to be very different, not only in shape, but also in routine. I think it’s weird that you have five days with the same classes every day,” said Giovanny, one of the exchange stu¬ dents. In Costa Rica, classes are not repeat¬ ed daily. They have a total of 12 different classes a week. Shopping in the Mall was a big hit, especially with the huge variety of fast food places. Most of the food eaten in Costa Rica is beans, rice, corn and torti¬ llas. They especially liked our American favorites of pizza and French fries. All of our Costa Rican friends enjoyed being made a part of our lives, appreciat¬ ed our hospitality, and they hoped to keep in touch. Sergio hopes to live here someday and others intend to make re¬ turn visits. Lynne Mates Say Cheese Journalism students and the Costa Rican students gather tor a group shot.
