Sunday's parade, with over 200 entries, was a hit with the royalty, clowns, special groups, and the many marching bands, including MHS's own marching band at the beginning. Offering a concert to the parade enthusiasts was the UW-Platteville Marching Band which included a few graduates of MHS. Along with all of these festivities were the many booths surrounding the whole downtown area of Monroe. Dairy foods, cheese curds, cream puffs, and many souvenirs were sold also. Cheese Days 1986 was again a huge success and will continue its success in years to come. Jan Benkert, Executive Secretary of Cheese Days Inc., summed it up best when she said, Even though the weather wasn't the most cooperative, the enthusiasm never diminished and the 1986 Cheese Days Celebration was a tremendous success!

Many activities were also held on Saturday to keep Monroe residents and tourists busy. The Cheese Days Chase, biking tours, a cow-milking contest, the children's costume parade, and the art fair at the MAAC provided different events for all to enjoy. Although rain showers dotted Monroe during the day, the street dance with music from the Horsefeathers was a success. The dance was geared for the younger generation.

PRESENTING: MY FAIR LADY As the curtain rose the audience was greeted by a stage full of cockneys and a young girl selling flowers. The young girl, Eliza Doolittle, thought Professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist interested in English dialects, was goine to narm her. She attempted to save herself with the aid of a passing gentleman. Colonel Hugh Pickering. To Eliza's dismay. Colonel Pickering, a student oT Indian dialects, just happened to be in London looking for Professor Higgins. Pickering and the Professor had much to discuss. Professor Higgins wondered Why Can't the English speak one language and boasted he could transform a common wretch like Eliza into a lady. Eliza was left on the cold, dark street. She and her friends dreamed of a better place in Wouldn't It Be Loverly? Here entered Eliza's father, Alfred P. Doolittle, who professed that all one needs is a Little Bit Of Luck for life to be grand. Since she wanted to run a flower shop, Eliza sought Professor Hiegins to receive lessons in proper English. Pickering, recalling Higgins' earlier boast to turn Eliza into a lady, made a bet with theProfessor. He offered to pay for the lessons with the test at the Embassy Ball. Higgins confessed he was An Ordinary Man and could not refuse. To begin her transformation, Eliza moved in with Professor Higgins. This information found Alfie Doolittle's ears. He thought his daughter's situation was a bit of luck and went to receive his share of the good fortune by selling Eliza to Higgins for fifty pounds. Despite all of her practicing, she still could not seem to speak like a lady. Eliza felt Professor Higgins was torturing her with his expectations and screamed Just You Wait! Professor Higgins pursued until, late one night, there was a breakthrough; Eliza had begun to use proper English. Pickering, and Eliza rejoiced with Higgins feeling that Eliza was ready for a public debut at the Ascot. The beginning of the races proved fairly successful. Following the suggestion of a new friend, Eliza placed a bet on Dover. She intently watched Dover's performance growing more and more involved, until she yelled in exasperation, 'Come on, Dover! Mover your bloomin' arse! It was enough to make the ladies faint, causing Eliza's world to come crashing down. Following this event, Eliza felt she could never show her face again. Amid depression Freddy Eynsford-Hill, confessed his love in On the Street Where You Live. The Embassy Ball was still the test. Eliza arrived very nervous and beautiful, and soon met her biggest obstacle, Zoltan Karpathv who was once a pupil of Professor Higgins, felt he could tell if Eliza was a fraud. He checked her out declaring that Eliza was a Bulgarian princess. Higgins had won his bet! Eliza thought everyone had forgotten her. Eliza decided to run away. Not sure where to go, she returned to the streets. She saw her father who asked to Get Me To The Church On Time Despite the fighting and bickering. Professor Higgins could not deny the true feelings in his heart. He had Grown Accustomed To Her Face and loved her. Colonel Pickering (Lee Wunschel) and Professor Higgins (Brent Brayko) have finally found each other. Higgins (Brent Brayko) suddenly finds Eliza (Paula Hunt), who he has been searching for, calmly conversing with Mrs. Higgins (Cathy Brand). Eliza realizes she could never be a lady to Higgins because of the way he treats her PIT ORCHESTRA: l-RONT ROW; Mark Schluesche, Michelle Bruess, l.isa Elmer, Daphne Krahenbuhl, Tisha Brown, Tracy Oles, Shelli Mauermann.
