OM S lowly the lights go out - with increasing excitement the audi- ence gets quieter and quieter - the curtains open - in bright spotlights The Home Grown Grass Band appears on the stage f The first act of the American Field Service fAFSj Tal- ent Show starts off with banjo and gui- lar. Serious in their performance were singers Senior Mark DeSandro and Sophomore Holly l-losack, winners of the second place, who impressed with their professional like singing and act- ing. Holly's mother did the Choreogra- phy and told us how we are supposed to react to the words, DeSandro, who already had stage experience, said. Bobby Lapin was responsible for announcing the acts and doing some small talk in between. Stage Manager Charlie Stern thought that Lapin did a great job. Once l got on the stage I was no longer nervous and I just talked. Bobby said. Singers. piano-players. flutists. gui- tarists. dancers and the percussion ensemble performed in front of a full auditorium. Senior Katharina Kucharsky liked the fact that the house was so full. The attendance was just fantastic and the atmosphere was really good, she said. The good ending of Desperado a very soft. emotional song, made Jun- iors Debbie Grosz and Susan Tietz choose this piece f and they won the third prize. Sl0. They have been sing- 44 Spotlight Eamyd Zhi ing together for about five years Deb- bie playing the piano by ear. Freshman Allyson Johnston thought that the special funny acts in between helped to break the monotony. Some sort of comedy between several acts performed by Seniors Dirk Silva and Pete Slover alleviated some seriousness. In black and white tuxedos, tennis shoes and wet hair they first tortured the ears of the audience by their Duete Condulcef' Finally The Margarita Brothers left the stage by thundering applause. A dishonorable mention was their reward. . . The real honorable mention was earned by flutists Freshmen Julie Bur- rows and Janet Greenberg. Like many other students Freshman Barbara Kucharsky thought that the percussion ensemble. the big winner of the show, was really the best. The AFS Talent Show. taking place on January 27. made over 51.000 profit. President Charlie Stern is more than satisfied by the results and he knows that he did a goodjob. alt also brought a lot of publicity to AFS, he said. During the time the judges made their decisions he introduced the two AFS students. Seniors Yumiko Shi- mada from Japan and Vera Russwurm from Austria. lt was the right time to do it - maybe more people will now attend our next meetings. said Charlie Stern with a laugh. - 30 - - Vera Rusxwurm - WITH THE ALREADY POPULAR THEME OF THE MOVIE STAR WARS echoing through the audito- rium, Junior Barbara Nordmeyer performs a iazz ballet as her entry in the Talent Show.

In typical melodramatic fashion the drama play. g'Ten Nights in a Barroom, a play performed by the Drama Department on November 19 and 21. included all the characteristics of an l890's musical- comedy melodrama. The story centers around The Sickle and Sheaf Inn, a tavern in the small New England town Cedarville, where alcohol takes its toll on the town's inhabitants. The owner of the tavern and his son fplayed by Mike Red and Jeff Coddingtonj are destroyed by alcohol as well as the young heroine, little Mary Morgan fVictoria Thorn- hillj, who dies from the blow of a whis- key glass.

Music played a key role in the production by foreshadowing events to come. Dark, foreboding notes sounded at the entrance of the villain, while the 'KHere Comes the Bride melody played when Sample Swichel proposed to Mehitable Cartwright CMelissa Hellerj. The songs and sets, two of which were designed by Bruce Norris. all depicted the l890,s.
