YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU . . . ... was the name of the winter play this year. The performance was supposed to be in February, but because of snowdays and the strike, it had to be postponed. The cast finally performed the play on April 12. Even though the performance was late, the quality wasn't affected. The play was about a crazy family and its philosophy of life. This philosophy was: love and understanding are more important than money and business. The two funniest characters were Paul and Mr. DePinna. The most serious characters were Mr. and Mrs. Kirby. The two people in love were Alice and Tony. The leading parts were Mrs. Sycamore and Grandpa. The nice thing about the play was that everybody had an individual crazy part. This combined it with a difficulty, everybody had to stay in his strange character. All of the actors did great jobs; the approximately 450 people in the audience were very satisfied and praised the actors. Nobody expected that, because after 10 weeks of practice, everybody was tired of the rehearsals. The stagecrew, under the supervision of Mr. Peters, worked very hard. After putting up the set one time, which was difficult, they had to take it down and put it up a second time. Everybody in the cast and in the stagecrew expressed thanks to four very important and responsible persons. Thanks to Miss Donaldson, who helped out with make-up and costumes. Thanks to Mr. Lonzo, who sold tickets at the performance. Thanks to Mr. Peters, who supervised the stagecrew. A very special thanks to Mr. Troyer, who was a great director and supervisor. Last, but not least, thanks to everybody who came to the performance and supported the play. -Regina Franke Top row, left to right: Janet Bolinger, Bob Nauyokas, Rich Mahaffey, Scott Matzke, Regina Franke, Kathy Drzewicki, Leslie White, Tony Babovac.
