Ermengarde [Kathy Haiflich] cries because her father won ' t let her see Ambrose Kemper [Phil Bei- neke]. Snider ' s 1988 spring musical was the award-winning production of Broadway ' s Hello Dolly . Origi nally starring the blonde bombshell, Carol Chan- ning, our own blonde Mandy Georgi carried the role with distinction. Set in the turn of the century New York City, it tells the story of Dol- ly Levi, a socialite and marriage broker. Her at- tempts to marry Horace Vandergelder, a well known half millionaire, and find partners for his two naive assistants, produces often hilarious but always musi- cal results. The cast worked for eight long weeks and pulled the show together for two packed performances . Dolly delights audiences The cast came together as one and it turned out to be the best musical Snider has seen in a long time. Kristyn Cox During 8 weeks of prac- tice, we go through many emotions, but when the cur- tain goes up it ' s a whole a new feeling. Andy Faley The musicals have been my release in school and ?ave me the opportunity to be on stage, and become close with my friends. Lori Ormiston A ward- winning Hello Dolly produces often hilarious fun i It was not quite perfect but pretty close to it! r- Musical 27

I ' ve gone to the Morp all four years and I think this one was the best so far, said co-chairman Mike Miller. This year ' s Morp had one of the biggest turnouts that Snider has ever had. The Morp, the opposite of the prom, has become a tradition here at Snider. The girl asks the guy out and they usually go to din- ner at the cheapest place around. Some favorite dinner places are K- Mart ' s cafeteria, McDo- nald ' s or maybe even a truck stop. The couples wear matching outfits, usually a t-shirt or a sweatsuit outfit. This year ' s decorations brought out the theme Go Hawaiian . Palm trees were positioned on either side of the band Unique Lighting and Sound . Matted grass, bamboo poles, fish nets and surf boards were just a few of the island adorn- ments that were used. Co- chairman Clint Price also took care of making sure that the background for the pictures looked as real as a Hawaiian beach. The dance is held every year in the Commons. An- other special touch was the leis that were given to each person at the en- trance. A new tradition that will be added is the sale of individual tickets. 1988 Morp Go Hawaiian With Class Flower leis given to everyone at the door boosts Hawaiian theme for a unigue evening of backwards fun and frolic Morp tradition offers variety of fun o Fred Ibarra: The decorations were better than in previous years. I also liked the way the band played all types of music. It ended my senior year on a great note! Irence Vlaskamp: I thought it was really fun. Maybe it should have been a little later in the year so that more people could have worn shorts. John Drummer: I enjoyed the Morp a lot this year. I had a great time, especially when my date took me to K-Mart for din- ner !•• Morp 29
