l€s Never Too Late... “Merry Christmas Charles, Merry Christmas Anje, Merry Christmas Chi p ... Merry Christmas everyone!” The bandroom of the Middle School seemed to be living a second Christmas day on that March 20, while the actors waited for the opening of the curtains. On this date the Thespians and the Thespian apprentices brought to the stage a spoof on the 1920's in Europe, called “The Boyfriend.” The minutes passed slowly Playing his role as Lord Brockhurst, Keith Bocklet tried to convince his wife — in this case Kathy Apelt — that he was not misbehaving in his walk along the beach. 22 Spring Play in the minds of all the members of the cast. The D- day had come, and the hour was closer and closer all the time. The excitement of the try-outs was nothing com- pared to what was about to come. Those cold days in January when the whole thing seemed so far away now ... and yet, time had gone so fast!

The play was a success, From the main characters, to the last member of the crew, everybody worked together in the production of “The 1 hi Boyfriend.” Like every year, some tears began to appear in the eyes of the cast and crew members after the curtains closed for the last time.

It’s too bad that the play was only on stage for those nights!

Foreign Break? Where were you during spring break? At the beach? Or skiing in Colorado? Or participating in a wedding? Or just sleeping your life away? While you were at home doing all the things you had planned to do since Christmas break, some of your Classmates were taking aonce-in-a-lifetime opportu- nity to spend their Easter break in a foreign country — England. On March 28, 25 rambunc- tious students and their three brave chaperones headed towards Norfolk In- temational Ainoort to catch their plane to Boston and begin their England adven- ture. After connecting in Boston with their 747 flight, that neither crashed, nor was hijacked, nor lost its pilot, the group landed safely at their destination. Here the adven- ture began. After they met the other students involved in the tour the group began to explore the many historical sights that were offered. The scheduled tour included many of the traditional places such as Big Ben, Parliament, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. The group also visited the Canterbury Cathedral and viewed the blood-stained stone which bore witness to the murder of Thomas a Becket by King Henry ll. Going back to the time of the Romans, the students toured the Roman baths and puzzled over the meaning behind the crea- tion of Stonehenge. The students returned home after more than a week of touring the beautiful sights of England, arriving at Norfolk Intemational Airport with a severe case of jet lag, souvenirs, rolls upon rolls of film, and memories to last a lifetime. 24 England Trip While waiting for the others to arrive, Pam Craig, Kelly Travis, Barbara Moore, Anne Forrest, and Kevin Forrest relaxed at the Gatwick Airport.
