e Love You Bye-Bye Birdie ' ' Bye-Bye Birdie brouglit bacl( memories from tiie 50 ' s Rock-n-roll, poodle skirts, bobby socks, and teen idols were Just a few things displayed in I thought the play was well organized and lots of fun. I ' d do it again if I could! the 1987-88 Spring musical Bye-Bye Birdie , per- formed by the Dew Haven High School drama club o n March 25 and 26. The play begins when rock idol, Conrad Birdie, (played by Senior Gary Hahn), is drafted into the army, and the procrastinat- ed marriage plans of Con- rad ' s manager, Albert Pe- terson, (played by Senior Dave Durm), and his secre- tary, Rosie Alvarez, (played by Senior Lori Brunton), are thrusted into high gear. A publicity stunt takes them to Sweet Apple, Ohio, where Conrad is to kiss the president of the local Con- rad Birdie Fan Club, Kim McAfee, (played by Fresh- man Anna Wood). The plot of the play thickens as Hugo F. Peabody, Kim McA- fee ' s steady, (played by Freshman Bryan Sloan), be- comes jealous of Conrad Birdie, and does just about anything to stop Conrad from kissing Kim. The play was directed by Mr. Matt Derby. M was pleased with the perfor- mances. The quality of the production over-wall was bett er than that of the year before. The new people to our musical department helped tremendously in the areas of vocals, dance, and light sound. If we can keep these people working to- gether, we ' ll have excellent productions in the future, stated Mr. Derby. The students involved in the musical were many. There were new faces and old faces. Some parts played were more difficult than others, but all of them took a lot of hard work and dedication to learn. All in all, those who took part in Bye-Bye Birdie will never forget the experience of participating in it. 1 thought that this was the best play 1 have ever been in. I ' ve been involved in dra- ma for four years, and it will be something that 1 w re- member for a lifetime. Bye-Bye Birdie will also be something that I never will forget, stated Senior Jenny Teter, who played Mae Peterson. Those who participated in Bye-Bye Birdie were re- minded once again of why rock-n-roll, poodle skirts, bobby socks, and teen idols will always be a part of our memories of the past. • Bendiee Amey • Heather Hamm Strutting his stuff Conrad Birdie, played by Senior Gary Hahn, entertains the scream- ing fans by singing one of his many popular songs, Sincere.

ore Than Just Money Students volunteer their time for self-satisfaction The main purpose of working for most students was ttie money. For some tliougti I volunteer because I love being around people and clieering them up. It makes me feel good about myself knowing I am a friend and can make people smile. the only pay was the experi- ence and satisfaction gained from accomplishing a task. Volunteer work helped students get famil- iar with a certain career area or for others volunteer services was work they real- ly enjoy. Many students from Mew Haven High School did vol- unteer work throughout the community. One such ser- vice was candystriping. The girls candystripe one night a week at Parkview Hospi- tal. Their job consisted of delivering flowers, running errands for nurses, talking to and feeding patients, or working in the gift shop. I ' ve wanted to be a nurse for a long time and 1 found out 1 could get expe- rience by candystriping, stated Amy Thompson. Another area outside of school Mike Thena took part in was at the Franke Park Day Camp. Mike Vol- unteered every day during the summer teaching chil- dren the ways of the woods and how to live as the Indi- ans did. ' Once 1 started this pro- gram and found out how in- teresting it is to see chil- dren react to the things they learn, 1 find it hard to quit, Mike Thena com- mented. Senior Jim Conner volun- teered for the Fort Wayne Student Police Department. Conner went to meetings every Thursday night to learn about police work. During the summer he helped direct traffic and crowds at such events as Three Rivers Festival, Fourth of July Fireworks, parades and other traffic re- lated events. like volunteering be- cause I am getting a lot of police experience and train- ing that will help me in my law enforcement career, Jim Conner stated. Making career and life de- cisions, making people happy and gaining self-sat- isfaction were only a few of the reasons for volunteer- ing. Many new Haven stu- dents found that giving time without gaining material benefits was just as reward- ing as a pay check every week. .
