Dancing To The Music 7 J---n—H Last Friday was terrible. The girl that I liked dumped me and then insulted me in front of all my friends. Needless to say, I didn't know what to do. Noticing that I was upset, my best friend Zack says, Hey dude! Guess what! There's a dance going on tonight and Schau- mann is going to be the D.J. You wanna go? Realizing that I had nothing else to do but watch Pat Sajack and Vanna White on the Wheel of Fortune , eat some Domino's Pizza, or fall asleep, I decided to go to the dance. Walking into the cafeteria, Zack and I saw a whole bunch of people danc- ing to songs like The Roof is on Fire and You Give Love a Bad Name . Since I don't dance well, I stood by the Coke machine with some other guys. Joe goes, “What's up? I say, Noth- ing. Then, all of a sudden, Zack runs up and says, Hey man! Why don't you ask that good looking girl from your English class to dance? You know, she keeps looking at you! Now I'm really confused. Being dumped once in a day is bad enough. What if she turns me down too? Might as well give it a shot anyway. So I walk on over to this girl and ask, Would you like to dance? She says, Yes, and we walk out on the floor as Tender Love starts to play. Just as we find a spot to dance, someone turns on the lights to encourage peo- ple to call for their rides. I start to think, Fine dude! Could anything else go wrong today? But then Lisa, the girl I'm dancing with, smiles and tells about a party on Satur- day. So now things are on for the weekend with Lisa and I can't believe it! Maybe I'll go to some of those dances more often. 1 meant to do that!!! exclaims senior Dion Pahotski as he does his rendition of The Pee- Wee Herman — 25

 Hey! Who took my shoe? cries Sue Furness as Dana Ramion tries to make a sly get-away. Chris McDonald proves that it's better to chill than to m when it comes to dancing. Patty Bechinski and Ann Rissman seem to be scoping out prospective dance partners as Susan Gonzalez enjoys the music. Last Friday was a tripp. The girl that I had major devotion for, dogged me and then called me out in front of all my boys. Needless to say, I was at a loss. Seeing I was pretty bummed, my bud Zack says, Hey dude! Check this out! There's a dance happenin' to- night and that Schaumann dude is DJ- ing some fierce tunes. Wanna scope it out? Realizing that I had nothing else to do but catch Pat and Vanna on the Wheel , grub on some Domino's or crash on the couch, I decided to cruise the dance. Filing into that happenin' Rogers cafeteria, Zack and me see like worn- bus people rockin' to some tunes like The Roof is on Fire and You Give Love a Bad Name . Not being the dancin' kinda guy, I chill against the Coke machine with the other dudes. Joe goes, S'up, Dude? I say, Hey, you know. Then like all of a sudden, Zack flies up and says, Yo, Bud! Why don't ya ask that babe from your Eng- lish class to dance? Don't ya know, she's been checking you out, bud! Mass confusion starts in now. Getting dogged once in a day is enough for me. Might as well give it a shot any- way. I cruise on over to this babe and say, Wanna dance? She gives me the nod and we head toward the floor as Tender Love starts to spin. Just as we get a place to dance, some dweeb flips on all the @l? %! lights and says that we best get on the phone to cop a ride home. I'm thinkin', Fine, dude! Like could it be possible that my day could be more bogus? But then Lisa, this girl, smiles and gives me the deal on some happenin' bash Saturday night and asks me if I wanna go. So now things are chillin' for the weekend and I'm still tripping out! Maybe I'll hit some of these dance deals more often.

George Washington Slept Here, Newton Fuller, a city dweller, buys a rundown dilapidated home. Newton believes George Washington once slept there. Newton is very excited about restoring the new home, how- ever, his wife Annabelle feels different- ly- Throughout the course of the play, the Fullers spend the summer fixing up the house and entertaining a varied group of guests, including their pomp- ous Uncle Stanley and their mischie- vous nephew Raymond, who bring chaos and confusion to the Fuller home. However, more problems de- velop when they discover that their neighbor Mr. Prescott might own the deed to their land. The Fullers try to reason with Mr. Prescott, but in the end everyone gets what they deserve Director Gerry Peters and his cast worked hard for six weeks to put on an entertaining play. Even with all of the hard work we still found time to joke around and have a great time , ex- plained Cathy Drzewiecki, it was defi- nitely one of the highlights of my senior year. The hard work and humor of the cast paid off. -Amy Russell There's a cow in my kitchen!’'exclaims Katie (Missy Combs) as AnnabeHe and Newton (Cathy Drzewteckt and Kevin Beckner) stare in disbelief.
