The fall play, directed by David Pritchard, depicted a one-night stay of several teenagers in juvenile hall or Juvie, as they called it. Members of the cast portrayed drug dealers, vandals, gang members, an arsonist, a shop- lifter, a kidnapper, and even some murderers, all of whom had been arrested, booked, and locked up for the night. One by one, each of the kids told his story, ex- plaining the how's and why's pertaining to the arrest while other cast members mimed the story. 9

Cheerleaders boomed through the fog and fans peered hopefully from their umbrellas as the Squires below mutated from red to mud-brown on the field. li€MEC€HINS
