and their lines fo scenes. ,, Koufmon, Goodwin, Corey Sfor in Love Sfory Immediately after Christmas break, McClintock Thespians began the daily rehearsal for the musical-comedy. Annie Get Your Gun . Sherri Kaufman portrayed Annie, a girl famous for her shoot- ing, during a Thursday night per- formance, while Lisa Goodwin handled the chore during the Thursday matinee and on Satur- day night. Mark Carey portrayed Frank Butler, Annie's opponent and partner, who turns the tale into an on-and-off-again love story. The cast contained forty-seven people who spent over twenty-five hours per week preparing for the three performances. Director Bob Sola, musical director Warren Dennis, and choreographer Joan St. John put in much time and effort to make the musical a suc- cess. Before the musical, Mrs. St. John directed the comedy You Can't Take It With You. This is the story of a woman whose rather eccentric family causes her to believe that true-love is not within her grasp. Ginia Olsen starred as the lead female and her beau Tony was played by Tom Cutler. Randy Swanson portrayed the grandfather who is a hero, even though he successfully evades paying taxes to the government. The Thespians' endeavors included comedy productions, plays, and other community pro- jects. Qufz gfeapiafza, P'

Students Ecigerly Anticipate Weekends After Five Long Dciys The enthusiasm of students on Fridays compared to Mondays was more than evident. After five long days in the classroom, club participation, and sports, stu- dents raced home to make the final arrangements for the night life, the weekend, and for a little bit of romance. Football games and other school activities were always a popular way to begin an exciting night. After the games, though, there was more excitement to come. Like so many generations before, McClintock students faced the need for a spot to cruise and hang-out. lVlain Street in Mesa and Village Inn Pizza Parl- our were two such places. They offered a setting where students could meet to relax, and just talk. The weekend was not only a break in the daily school schedule, but a time to indulge in favorite hobbies, games and recreations. Hunting, four-wheeling, tubing, and camping were favorites for the outdoorsmen. Shopping and laying out in the sun were reserved for a quiet afternoon. Whatever the case, almost all stu- dents agreed that one of the best ways to spend the weekend was to sleep in. Though a lot of time was spent with friends, hours were set aside for that special someone. Going to the movies and dining out at their favorite restaurant added excite- ment to many couples' weekends. Thoughts of an upcoming date were often distracting while in the classroom. But these thoughts had to be postponed until the weekend. Dating enhanced stu- dents' maturity. ..-..l Q5 fyusggefzcf and cz .fifffa BM offvmance
