Guys and Dolls The music is roo fost. diolecr roo Minnesoton. costumes ore too ploin. behavior is not correct. Who solves these problems? Three wonderful directors who keep the show from foiling oport. Mr. Homilton. Mrs. Hein, ond Mr. Molewicki kept the show together. They kept it olive ond tried to improve our weok points After many hours of frustration ond wondering if the show would ever get off the ground, they were able to sit bock ond soy. We did it! But the frustration ond pain Is nor remembered; it slowly fades owoy ond soon is forgotten. All three continue to come bock, ond they ore reody for next year s musical. Mr. Molewicki remembers, the unity ond closeness rhor the cost developed wos o very rewording ospect for me to see. I enjoyed working with the cost, ond I most appreciated the dedication to the best job possible by so many individuals. I guess my fovorire experience would be the whole show The set crew hod the sound effect of o flushing toilet during the video roping, which I will remember. commented Mrs. Hein, It is fun to worch their (the kids) foces beam with the knowledge that they’ve done o good job. I morvel or the rolent thot exists in the building, ond also I odmire the risk roking that many of our cost members took: it isn’t eosy to do love scenes, strip numbers, athletic boiler, mime, or three different melodies oi once. I appreciate the creative tolenr of our croft people from props to costumes to set to lights to publicity, ond lastly. I stand in owe of the creotive. technological genius of Mike Dommer who put the set lights on computer. This hos been on exciting time for me. 27

The people you see on sroge ore not the only ones who deserve recognition. A show con't be put on without severol very importont groups of people. Set construction (builds the sets, points them, works them, then teors them oport). Lighting rokes core of lighting the sroge so o scene doesn't srort before It should or end before it should. Running mokes sure Hovono stoys in Cubo ond doesn't show up in the Hot Box. Moke-up crew keeps the Mission girls ond the streetwolkers from looking the some. And, the Costume crew hod to provide o lorge number of costumes so everyone could look like o gombler, mission people, or o Hovono doncer. Orchestro is the group of people who help mony of the scenes by showing the oudience how to reoct emorionolly. These people put in os much time os the octors ond were port of o very dedicored group. Of these people. Mike Dommor spent doys setting up the com-plicoted lighting system on stoge. He not only hooked up some 900 lights bur he put the whole show on computer so oil he hod to do come showtime wos push o button, ond the lights begon their donee thot highlighted the show, (no pun intended) Lorry Peterson (lighting) soid thot he enjoyed memorizing the lines ond distracting the players. Trocy Greniuk (moke-up) soid. the musical wos o chonce to moke new friends. Somebody soid one night ofter o performance when we were oil together. I'm hoppy. I'm here with my family. Thor sort of sums up the feeling of everybody. We ore o family. Mike Forsberg's lough rang through the auditorium when the oudience needed to know thot wos funny, now lough ond they did. Four hours out of every doy we were put in our own little worlds. Every person wos ond is special: friendship ond love helped moke the show Guys ond Dolls be the best Pork Center hos ever seen.

With Morton selling the Incestuous Child ond Cosmon doncing ond pushing like wild There's Tom thot comes on ond con't throw the cote. it's put there by Pete ond drops to the floor During the scenes there wos one little flow. it's the student director thot comes In os the low He wos lote ploying cords, when he missed his cue, Ken ond Luke hod to odlib for o minute or two Dockstoge one doy we heord o screom. Shed wos stuck in her zipper ond wos ripping the seom There's olso Kothy who's zipper she broke. she probably thought she could honestly crook. There's one special sophomore whom we oil love. we thought he come from Heoven obove Us senior girls think he's o treot. it's not Jon or Dove, his nome is Pete If ony of you guys ore the jeolous sort, don't be. there's tolk obout you When oil of us girls ore chonging. whoi else do you think we do?' It's different though, in the guys locker room. they tolk obout Tony, cuz he's such o goon, When the rodio's blosiing. they con't even chot. no wonder they never let our o cotl Some of the girls see more thon they wont. like Ken ond Mott's undies in which they do flaunt When we were ot proctice os lote os eleven thot's when Hein yelled out My God in Heoven! When proctice is over. It's time to porty. ot Heidi's or Chris's or or McCorty's At Kim's house there wos one speciol line. The more I know men the more I like my dog. SWINE' There ore still some questions in which ore unknown, like where does Pick chonge when he's on his own? And will the gomblers ever get the boiler? Probobly nor now. maybe next May The time is opproochmg for the ploy to end. yet we still hove eoch other for friends Always remember the joy we shored. the reors ond loughter ond how we oil cored It's goo no be hard without shedding o teor. so don't forget us thot ore leaving this yeor Well, rhor's obout it. there's more to be sosd, but rhyming another line I would dread!
