REA SE Fall musical depicts teen life in the 50's Qcontinued from page 251 said junior Francie Ham- mett. The three nights the musical was performed brought in an average of over 1000 people per show. In addition, the Saturday performance came within 100 seats of selling out the auditorium. But, despite the large audiences and 55 ticket prices, the musical only made about 53000. We would have had more profits if the sets and the technical aspects of the show hadn't cost so much, said senior John T. Moore, but still, 53000 is a lot of money. The theater arts department received 6095 of the profits, which will be used to finance their next production. The choir department got 40911 of the profits and the band received a small stipend from the two. As the final curtain fell and all of the applause had died down, members of the audience gathered back- stage to congratulate the cast and crew on the per- formance. This was the best show I've seen per- formed here at North Gar- land, said senior Suzanne Peterson. Junior Lori Ste- phens agreed, saying, Al- though I felt a great sense of relief that the produc- tion was over, I was sad be- cause I wouldn't be able to perform like that again. I really had fun out there! 9 26 STUDENT LIFE 2 DRESSED ENTIRELY in white, the Teen Angel, played by junior Matt Sturges, tries to convince Frenchy, played by junior Lori Stephens, to go back to high school.

OLIDA YS Legal absences celebrated in diverse ways Holidays - those cher- ished few days students wait for to take a break from the normal routine. These legalized school ab- sences are celebrated in as many ways as there are imaginations. During the Christmas holidays, I think the earli- est I went to sleep was around 2 a.m., sophomore Tony Poole said. I spent many hours on the phone and stayed out late almost every night. Needless to say, I wouldn't get up the next day until about one. I use holiday time to re- lax, sophomore Amy Walter said. I don't really have any desire to go any- where, and so I just sleep late and kind of become a bum. There were also those who decided to use their free time for more con- structive purposes. I got a part-time job at Christmas. I really didn't work that much, but it gave me some sort of schedule to follow, as well as spending mon- ey, sophomore Kelly Gas- kill said. Recreational activities were also included in holi- day plans. When I get a day off from school, I like to go to Lavon and water ski. For longer vacations our family goes to Lufkin where I get a chance to get out and hunt, sophomore David Stricklin said. Regardless of the way students spent their time off, they were quick to agree that their vacation time was not to be wasted over school related activi- ties. Homework? Me do homework on a day off? You've got to be nuts, said senior Keshia Caston. I've got more important things to do. 7 2.
