Weeks of hard work pay off for the cast who took time out of a re- hearsal for a publicity shot. Don Grayson (Shawn Yeakle) and his wife Sally (Carmen Beery) argue over Sally's decision of testifying. SUSPENSE! Fall Play Bear Witness featured nine MHS students in the exciting James Reach drama. The play is set in a middle-class neighborhood some twenty years ago. It opens when Sally Gray- son (played by Carmen Beery) witnesses a brutal murder just down the street. Sally faces a tough moral decision, to testify or not to testify against the killer she recognizes to be her sister-in-law (Eris Migliorini) ’s boyfriend Nicky Sharp (Randy Hef- lin) . Despite small audiences on both nights, the cast, crew, and all involved made this year’s play a big success. Charletta Wion and Sonya Yoder di- rected the performances. 22 FALL PLAY

With the dramatic increase of students and faculty taking up the practice of genuflecting, walking with hands pressed together as if in prayer, and singing in Latin, it would seem as if Manchester High School had been targeted by the Vatican City as its next missionary field. The reason for the strange “habits” taken up by so many at MHS was the presentation of The Sound of Music. Many hours of hard work and prepara- tion went into the production of this superb musi- cal. A large cast and crew spent many weeks and hours preparing music, lines, costumes, and sets which dazzled the audiences who attended the performances. SPRING MUSICAL 21
