Traveling to such spots as Colorado, Texas, California, Louisiana, Hawaii and even Cancun, Mexico, students launched their long- anticipated plans into action for a week of leisure-time activities. Skiing in Colorado was, by far, the most popular vacation because of its prox- imity and the attraction of the sport itself. Popular resorts were Copper Moun- tain, Vale, Keystone and WINTER WONDERLAND. Posing around the snowman they built on the Country Club golf course, Sara Cullen, Paula Hoagland, Laird Veatch, Mike Burton, Jason Smith and Ann landolo show how they took advan- tage of Manhattan's midweek snowfall. lphoto by Teri Richardsonl Mfizan. wus Vlhnter Park. For some, however, stay- ing home offered just as much fun. Spring break is awesome anywhere as long as you get to sleep in! said Paula Hoagland. The unexpected five-inch snowfall midweek made spring memorable for those who stayed in Manhattan. Senior Giles Kyle who'd planned a camping outing with his friends didn't let the snow ruin his plans. We picked the worst possible day of the year to go, but it turned out to be incredibly fun.

aiting War has impact By Meganne Moore ring World War ll, five women were waiting in Calgary, Alberta, for their loved ones to come home from the war. What they did while they waited was the focal point of the one-act drama, Waiting for the Parade, presented Feb. 18 and 20 at MHS and March 30 at the K- State One-Act Festival. Janet lMargaret Hul had to deal with all the other characters and keep them in high spirits as they were all involved in keeping the soldiers happy when they came through their town. One way Margaret said she was able to play her part was through intense rehearsals. We weren't distracted by other people. Catherine lMichele Hilll worked at a factory and was BUSY WORK. Margaret lJanel Bowersl and Catherine lMichele Hilll help the local hospital's wounded during a scene from Waiting for the Parade. ONA ROLL. As their way of help- ing with the war effort, Eve lAmy Urbanl and Janet lMargaret Hul roll bandages. 30 Winter Play on those at home looking for companionship while her husband was at war, while Eve lAmy Urbanl was the comic of all of them. She kept the others' spirits up. Margaret lJanel Bowersl, an older woman, had to ac- cept her rebellious son who decided he didn't want to be in school but rather wanted to join the army. The character wanting to fit in with all the rest was Marta lAnne Kissell, but Janet wouldn't let her because she believed her father was associated with the Germans. All the actresses agreed that one of the hardest part about the play, besides memorization of lines, was trying to adjust to the ages and maturity of their character.
