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.

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
