An afternoon of fun WINTER CARNIVAL is always a tentative kind of thing at Webb, and during the last school year the annual gala day was seriously in doubt—until the Student Council rescued it and staged not a day, but an afternoon, of fun. JEFF GROV (BELOW) takes a spill during a game of cart soccer in the gymnasium; (GOING CLOCKWISE) in the dance contest, JAN ROEWER and PAUL KRAEMERget into the bump ; and unidentified peanut-pusher slaves away in that con- test CAROL JUNGE and SAND Y W 0 D E V E R concentrate on a game of chess; JEFF PAQUIN and STEVE HOLTZ wrestle in the auxiliary gym while varsity wrestler MARK SKINNER referees; PAUL DOUGLAS ta k es off from a mini-trampoline on the ob- stacle course; on the same course, KURT IHDE completes a forward roll; in perhaps the slickest event of the day, BER- NIE SCHYVINCK hauls ED MATHEWS, who is conceal ing a large ice block. 17

... His death and life Nothing quite like it had ever been tried on the stage at Webb High—and nothing went over quite in the same way that THE DEATH AND LIFE OF SNEAKY FITCH did when it was presented as the school's spring production last year. With the guidance of DIRECTOR MARSHA DAVIS, the cast of 28 (which had been honed from about 60 auditioners) did a job on the Western farcical tragedy that went over ravingly with audiences both Friday and Saturday nights. May 7 and 8. JENNIE ARNDT student-directed. While DAVE HANKINS held the lead role of the singer in his first stage role, SHELLY SCOTT as Maroon and DALE BUSS as Sneaky were also principals. “Sneaky “Fitch... iaoi i i2ii mi One of the unscripted, but most popular highlights of Webb's v ersi on of The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch was a SQUARE DANCE NUMBER in the second act, coreographed by KARYN WILTROUT. Members of that DANCE TEAM (ABOVE), by couples (LEFT TO RIGHT), were Carol Koeneckeand Doug Groy, Tracey Arndt and Bryan Marshall, Barb Bentley and Kurt Grote, and Kay Jackson and Scott Skinner. The people working principally behind the scenes— those who really made Sneaky Fitch click—with their leads (TOP) are director MARSHA DAVIS (LEFT FRONT) and student director JENNIE ARNDT (RIGHT FRONT). The leads stand behind. 19
