$ Sbut ' P ' tom 76e Pott The brilliant flash of lights, the thunderous applause of a mammoth-sized audience, the over-whelming size of the auditorium, and the razzle- dazzle of a professional set were all standard at the Pantages, but not exactly what you got upon entering G-4 on opening night of Play It Again, Sam. The creativity and originality of the cast and crew, with help from director Sam Robinson, made up for the less than adequate surroundings. The audience received an interesting show with good acting. Senior Charles Harris was main character Allen Felix. It was a great experience, said Charles. Danielle MacCartney and Peter Brown played Allen ' s friends, Linda and Dick Christie. The supporting cast added extra flair to this entertaining comedy about a bachelor looking for love. Jennifer Haberman played Allen ' s former wife, Nancy. Kevin Jonker excelled as Bogey. Marie Spellman, Melissa Warkentin, Jennifer Hutchison and Laney Gourley added sparkle to the performance. The costumes were outrageously authentic ' 70 ' s style. The cast was supported by the 3-person crew. Stage manager, junior David Lepore set the props, junior Kristina Nicotera did sound. It was great fun, said freshman lightboard operator Russell Overland. In one of Allen Felix ' s many dreams. Jennifer Haberman. as his former wife, begs for a second chance. While they toast an evening alone. Danielle MacCartney as Linda Christie pours Martinelli ' s from a champagne bottle for Charles Harris. T ra H4i 87

e Sound Of ScUtite Under the direction of Mrs. Russell, both the Girls ' Concert Choir and the Saint Singers astounded people with their talents. After seeing and hearing them at the Winterfest Concert, junior Bryan Ruppert said, They were really good. I was really impressed. What had always been a mixed choir, this year was changed to the Girls ' Concert Choir. This gave a different sound than most people were used to. Junior Shannon Mozolan said, We work very hard warming up and practicing our songs for the concerts. The Concert Choir was limited to fewer performances than usual, but this did not cut down on their enthusiasm. Junior Amanda White said, We still have fun because we enjoy singing. We sing for ourselves as well as for the audiences. The Saint Singers had quite a few more presentations. They sang and danced for groups such as the faculty, the Rotary Club, and the senior citizens. Senior Lani Gourley said, We do really well at performances because we work well together. Because of this comradery, the highlight of the year was their trip to Anaheim. It gave them a chance to perform in a competition with choirs from other schools and spend a fun weekend together. The things both choirs really worked for, though, were the two concerts. Winterfest featured both the bands and the two choirs. Songfest took place in the spring and was an evening of song and dance starring the choirs of San Dimas High and Lone Hill Intermediate Schools. The Saint Singers highlighted the event singing many popular songs. pr fc At the Winterfest Concert. Senior Kevin Jonker acts out the part of Santa Claus while sophomores Bryan Furst.
