Musical Produced After A Year ' s Rest Start with talented, young perform- ers, add a little g rease paint, a little hard work, and a pinch of, well, pinching, and the Spring perform- ance of Once Upon a Mattress had something for everyone. If royalty was your bag, you saw plenty of that, or a love story — that was there, too. Or a bawdy, mute king with a preference for serving girls, plus a far-from-mute queen . . . And if you just liked plain fun, music and dancing — all of those were there. Behind the strong voices of Sen- iors Laura Coffman (Winifred) and Barb Masterson (Lady Larkin) and junior minstral Scott Rathgaber, the cast sung and danced its way through the piece, originally starring Carol Burnett. The story was based on the chil- dren ' s tale, The Princess and the Pea with variations like a quiz show run by the queen, (junior Lori Drayer) and a crooked magician (sen- ior Scott Davis) to search for an eligi- ble princess, and a certain lack of enthusiasm on the queen ' s part to the idea of her son ' s marriageability. However you counted and added it up, the ingredients turned up three nights of entertainment — and a hilarious good time. The aspiring Princess Winifred (Laura Coffman), has fun at the Queen ' s Ball. Winifred ' s drink is drugged so she will fail the test of a princess. The King is struck mute. Marc Todd has the difficult task of keeping quiet during most of the play. •

A Team for All Seasons Unlike sports teams, the Highlights do not have one season of practice. Their job begins in the spring with try-outs. During the summer they march in parades, attend a drill camp, and they go to band camp with the band. In the fall they work on their con- test show and perform at the football games. After football season they begin learning new routines to per- form at basketball games. The only time the Highlights do not practice is in March. Last summer the girls went to a drill team camp in Dayton, Ohio. Camp lasted 4 days and the girls learned several routines. On the last day, there was an evalu- ation for each corps. New Haven received 3 second place ribbons. All the rest were Superior. They were also awarded the spirit boot for the week. Senior Sue Elsea came in second place in the drill down, held that day. A perfect ending to the song is exec- uted by Kris Weida (9) and Beth Hol- saple(l 1). The correct move at the exact moment looks easy when it ' s done by seniors Peggy Brown, Michelle Johnioz, and Anne Keck. A big pretty smile is the trademark of every highlight, as seen on Con- nie Krueckeberg, (9) and Tami Snell (11).
