Two The theatre was flooded with light. The audience sat, talking quietly amongst themselves as they waited for the musical to begin. Flnally, the lights dimmed, the curtains were opened, and the stage came alive. The fall musical chosen, West Side Story, has often been referred to as a modern day Ro- meo and Juliet. Tony, played by sen- ior Jim Black, is a former leader of the Jets. He falls in love with Maria, portrayed by junior Missy Roberts. She is the little sister of Bernardo, played by junior Dan Sullivan, the leader of the Sharks, a rival gang of the Jets. Being from two totally differ- ent cultures causes the struggle of love ' over honor in this musical. Jim and Diana Pfaff, from Miss Diana's school of Dance, were brought in to assist with the musical. Mr. Pfaff set up the fight scenes while Mrs. Pfaff choreographed the dances. Without their help the show wouldn't have been as flashy, said senior Jason ' T 1 i totally different cultures clash Rekittke, who played Riff, leader of the Jets. It took approximately twelve weeks to prepare for the musical which was performed November 20 - 22. The tenth and eleventh weeks were practiced without the help of Mrs. Kelly McNabb, director, due to outside I 0 Mi- circumstances. They are the two most essential weeks. That's when you put everything together, J' said senior Amy Gilmore, student director, who took over in her absence. The practice obviously paid off. The former record for one night's performance, 600, was broken Friday night with 620 people in attendance. The curtains were drawn and the lights came on. It had taken a great deal of the cast and crew's time, and it was all over.

However, it seemed that the majority of people cooked dinner at home. Around Christmas there was never money to spare, and making dinner was a lot less expensive. Since we didn't go out to eat, Clay and I did the cooking and made lasagna for our dates, nex- plained junior Ted Tredennick. YCHf,',S21id Perry.
