20 v Plays u «I better net fr mixed talents It all began with auditions. This year, gaining experience in that interesting area was Jeff Johnson with assistance from Eric Holmgren who cast “The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch,” and Scott Korzenowski and David Williams were put in charge of “A Thurber Carnival.” Once it was decided who was going to be whom, the rest began. Those who have never had the opportunity to be in a play may not realize that there is more to putting on a show than just getting out there on opening night and playing “make-believe” for a couple of hours. A sense of humor was definitely a requirement, as being able to laugh at your mistakes to improve the show. In every show there was always a certain amount of “Trial and Tribulations” the directors and cast members were forced to wade through, if only to laugh at later. There was always Jim Ross tossing peanut shells all over the stage, as well as the time the music stopped when it wasn't supposed to! For many students at Minnetonka having the opportunity to be in the cast of one or more of the plays was an experience they would not have traded for anything! That feeling of being out there on the stage, creating a character is one that they could describe perfectly. And given the chance, they could probably tell you a whole lot more!

22 I. Day in the Life of What does an average high school girl do on a typical day? Well, starting with a gradual eye opener, the next step is to get ready for a day at M.H.S. During the day, much of her time is spent studying, eating, laughing and perhaps even a little gossiping. Shopping at Ridgedale, Wayzata or even a venture Downtown supplies them with fashionable clothes and keeps them busy after school and on weekends, spending money. Many of the girls hold part time jobs, which tend to be somewhat of a demand on their time. With some variations the high school girl finds herself doing close to the same things, day after day. Even though their personalities and lifestyles are different. Out of bed, into the shower, at last awake. Guys usually can get ready for school faster than girls, which gives them a little more time to eat! Next, it’s out to their cars to burn a little rubber around the school grounds and barely making it to their first hour classes. With car at hand, every spare moment is used wisely to calculate the time it would take them to get to Taco Shoppe and back during their 35 minute lunch period. Maybe two school lunches or a bag lunch from home would satisfy his appetite instead. After school the a 7.CC ■ : » M i :3C
