GIRLS,L QPCMTE S No way! Girls can play la- crosse? This was the reaction of many this spring when several girls got together to form a team which would be consid- ered as a club for the season. The team was started by Fr. Chessa Contiguglia, who dis- covered that it couldnlt be sup- ported by the school this year. She got in touch with Charlie Waldum, a JV coach at Heri- tage High School. Though the Heritage girls were his first pri- ority, he volunteered his free time on the weekends and some- times during the week later in the evenings. The coach devot- ed lots of time to us and was patient about teaching us the game. said Jr. Kelly Grie- SCITICF. Many were surprised to find out how different girls' and guys' lacrosse are. The two are two completely separate sports, said Waldum. Girls have to depend more on cra- dling skills since the sticks don't have pockets, there is a smaller amount of contact, and the rules allow for a much different game. It's a scrum . .. it's a beer- call. . .itls a line-out . . . it's . .. rugby? Yes, that strange sport of rugby, often seen being played at Cantebury Park, also caused many questioning reac- tions. Introduced last year, this club attracted many who were intrested in a rough and tough sport much like football. I find it exhilirating running down the field and hitting hard in order to get the job done! said Sr. Jim Geppner. The team was coached by Paul Hoskins who started them out last year and they practiced Mondays and Fridays with a game every Wednesday. The coach helped us lots at prac- tices, running, learning how to handle the ball, and formal scrimmagesf' said Sr. Rafael Sanchez. l In the future the team would like to be included as a school- sanctioned sport, but they are enjoying the 6'freedom of the present. It's a sport that can,t be taken too seriously, that would take the fun out of it, t said Geppner. l .lured Tron JR.

SINGING ABOUT AMERICA, Sr. Rochelle Gal- lup, as Anita, convinces the Sharks' girlfriends that living in America is much better that living in Puerto Rico, AN INTENSE CLIMAX concludes West Side Sto- ry as Tony dies in Maria's arms. Jr. Cydney Rosen- baum and Sr. Seth Ryan played the leads. John krun West Side Story Tells tale of , 0 CG ont you know that the problem of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world'?,' When Sam Spade said this to Elsa in the final scene of Casablanca, he was expressing the universal theme of ill-timed love. One of the best explorations of this theme is found in the musical drama West Side Story which was produced by the Overland theater department April 6-9. The production of West Side Story was a real credit to the performing arts de- partment. It is one of the most difficult broadway musicals ever written. Mr. John 1 6 Activities Vw. V3 Kron said, I've wanted to do West Side Story for fifteen years. Until now, I've never been in a place where we've had the right combination of singers, actors, danc- ers, technicians, and instrumentalists. It is very difficult on every level. Sr. Karen Porter was the student director and Sr. Bill Convery was the stage man- ager. The 35 member cast consisted of 31 students and four teachers who played the adult roles. Adding Tony Manfredi as Offi- cer Krupke, Harry Bull as Detective Schrank, Morgan Graham as Glad Hand, and Neal Wallace as Doc emphasised the fact that the show was about teenagers. i John Kron , 6 ftlldi The climax of the show takes place al- most at the conclusion when Tony dies. Jr. Cydney Rosenbam, who played the part of Maria, said that they did such a good job of intensifying the final scene that the audi- ence hesitated to applaud. She said, It was so 'heavy' that they didn't want to break the moment. l've never seen that happen in a high school production before. Overall, l'West Side Story was a thor- oughly well done production. As Kron said, I believe very firmly that a show is only as good as its weakest part, and l'm hard pressed to find a weak part about 'West Side Storyfl' Copy and Layout I fer N1cQu:iid
