These students put forth great effort and determination to make the school year an enjoyable one. They are the ones who carry out the meaning of responsibility and leadership. Each and every one rises above the call of duty to be the best he can be. The officers of each class can be very proud of their achievements. lt takes a leader to be a class offi- cer and faith in that leader from the class to make a successful school year. Mr. Holt showed he had confidence in the sopho- more class officers by saying, 'tThe sophomore class is in very capable hands for the 1987-88 school year.

Looking bewildered, Mr. Vecchitto iPat Turnerl watches Mrs. Aldrich fAmy Juraszekl and Mr. Bradley iRobb Schanzl discuss Henry's dilemma. Comedy Depicts Serious Dilemmas II hat a Life, a play by Clifford Goldsmith is an amusing comedy with a serious message of knowing one- self and doing what one wants with life and not what others say to do. Henry Aldrich iplayed by Todd Ritterl is a student at Cen- tral High School who seems to be constantly getting in trouble. His enemy, George Bigelow lPat Lancei, tries to frame Henry for a theft of band instruments. George also makes a bad situa- tion worse when he tells Mr. Bradley lRobb Schanzl, the prin- cipal, about pictures Henry was drawing in study hall. Henry then gets in trouble for cheating from George's history exam pa- per. But why did Henry cheat? Because his strong-willed moth- er iAmy Juraszekl told Henry he couldn't go to the dance that weekend it he didn't get the hightest score in the class on the exam. Henry is desperate to go to the dance and take Barbara Pearson lJenn Clementl, who is junior class president. While all of this turmoil is tak- ing place, Mr. Vecchitto fPat Turnerl is trying to find his daughter, Mr. Vecchitto is a junk dealer who received a letter from Mr. Bradley to come to the school to talk to him. But Vec- chitto is told to wait in another room and, since he is never sum- moned to speak with Mr. Brad- ley, ends up sleeping there over- night. Finally, the next morning, Mr. Bradley's secretary Miss Shea iAutumn Taylorl tells him his daughter has been called to the office, but we never do see his daughter because the wrong Mary has been called. Mary Wong lLisa Campolil enters the office only to find that she's not the person they were looking for! But, in the third act, all of Henry's problems begin to be solved. ln the first act, Henry 10 Fall Play had been accused of stealing the band instruments, and the instru- ments are found in a pawn shop under Henry's name. But who- ever pawned the instruments didn't get all of the money for them, they took merchandise, a second hand tuxedo. The tux- edo is found in a tailor shop be- ing altered to fit George Bige- low! The band director Miss Wheeler lKristen Heasleyl and police detective Ferguson iJohn Wicinasl also find that the signa- ture at the pawn shop doesn't match Henry's real signature. All fingers point to George, and Henry is off the hook, elxcept for convincing his mother to let him go to the dance and to get out of being sent to reform school be- cause he cheated. Assistant Prin- cipal Mr. Nelson iDave Wojciakl solves the problem by convinc- ing Mrs. Aldrich to allow Henry to go to the South Side Trade School so he can develop his tal- ent for drawing. Nelson also gets Mrs. Aldrich to lower her expec- tations of Henry a little bit so he is able to live his own life. So Henry and Barbara leave for the dance, and lhopefullyl live hap- pily ever after. Reaction to the play from the faculty adviser and cast mem- bers provides us with a more personal version rather than just our observations when viewing the play. Mr. Dwyer comment- ed, What a Life by Clifford Goldsmith is a joy to direct for the high school stage since stu- dent actors and technicians can identify with the characters who are from similar environments and who are experiencing simi- lar pressures of adolescent life. Our fall production of Mr. Gold- smith's play succeeded in pro- viding all who participated and all who attended the perfor- mance a genuine theatrical ex- perience which is the goal of the high school drama program, '- ' xfff WV , My--7i'v if V!
