w o up the year practiced, along with cheerleaders, student council went through preparations to make homecoming enjoyable. Committees were set by Advisor Mr. Hall along with Junior President Lauren Galicki, who re- placed former President Senior Cheryl Quiggle, who was excused from the position as she took most of the year ' s schooling in Belgium. Voluntary students of all kinds helped by coming in for hours on weekends. Also shop students took time to help with scenery and so on. Besides the festive game with it ' s parades and floats and announce- ment of the queen, Richmond Hts. also featured a bonfire. The bonfire itself was put together in a matter of 2 to 3 days. The use of Mr. Omerza ' s dump truck along with Rick Somich ' s pick up truck helped with gathering of wood. After the last day of construction some stu- dents spent the night outside to guard the monstrocity. Senior B.J. Schweter stated, There was alot of work put into it, but we had fun staying over night. First the bonfire, then the game all were just a warm up for the long-awaited dance. The theme Love Lifts Us Up Where We Be- long, was a hit. Marianne Tomaszewski was elected Queen, along with Marilyn Wason as ju- nior attendant, Wendy Brown as sophomore attendant, and Lesley Witherite as freshman attendant. Junior Marilyn Wason stated, I took it as a real honor to be cho- sen. The months of September and October were chuck full of events and students once again got into the swing of the new year.

AND TO THE POINT. Guy Brubaker prcfcut:. Iiif ivcdding cake pwrtfolio to Bill Agneiv and Ludia Lcovic. This was Guy ' s fourth stage ap- pearance in three years. ONE FOR THE ROAD. Director Davui Gannon eontently loatehes rehcrsal as Laurie Weis follows ' with the script. Mr. Gannon announced that Father of the Brnie ' would be his final lifroduction at RHHS. Name the important factors in the production of a show. Well, let ' s see, there ' s trying out, and there ' s rehearsals .... Wait a minute! Rehearsal? But how can you say that this is im- portant? Things never go right on stage! Let ' s check the evidence. Case lA., Father of the Bride , November 12, 1982. The case of the Missing Portfolio. Junior Guy Brubaker, portraying Massoula the Caterer, walks on stage without his book of w edding cakes to show to the Banks family. Only quick thinking helped Guy as he pantomimed his way through the scene. Director David Gannon is ready to kill, but soon realizes that Massoula ' s character is a bumbling idiot, and the audience is tricked into thinking that the caterer is crazy; insufficient evidence! Case 2B., same play, same night. The case of the Phone that would not Ring. The men of the Banks ' family. Mr. Banks, Ben, and Tommy go flawlessly through their scene, and upon a cue line, are ready for a telephone call from Sam ' s liquor store. Unfortunately, Sam must be in the bathroom because he does not call. This might have been a disas- ter, but it was very quickly that Mrs. Banks and Kay realize that it is time to come home from shop- ping, and the Banks men need only to ad-lib for about a half minute. Insufficient evidence again. O.K., Case 3C. same play, No- vember 13, 1982. The Where ' s the Strap Folly . Junior Larry Richardson, portraying Ben Banks, runs onto the stage decked out in his tuxedo and looks down to see his vest strap hanging down out of his jacket. A horrifying look crosses his face as he tries to put them back together while going through his lines. But the audience thinks this is funny. Insufficient evidence. The mistakes may have helped a little bit, commented cast mem- ber Robert Agnew, they made the audience laugh a few more times than they already had. Case closed. There may have been a few mistakes in Father of the Bride, but they did not show. The audience enjoyed it, and that ' s all that counts. 24 Fall Play
