Fall musical well received Students express acting and musical talents You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, the fall musical produc- tion, was so well received by many Satanta Theater goers that they took their chance to Take a Second Look. The musical took the place of the usual spring All School Play this year. Both nights the cast performed for a respon- sive audience. The musical, based on the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Shultz, was directed by Louise Fankhauser, vocal music teacher, while Mike Tschanz, band teach- er, was responsible for the musi- cal accompaniment. Stephanie Myrick took on the roll of student director with Rachel Middle- brooks as her assistant director. Although several of the students involved in the musical had some acting experience from previous plays, the cast had some novices at both acting and musical pro- ductions. However, that didn't seem to hinder the performance that was an audience pleaser. The students involved with the play had a good time preparing for the big evenings on stage. They spent long, strenuous hours under the bright hot lights prepar- ing for their nights of stardom. At times, many of the ones involved with the play would get tired and discouraged, yet they chose to push on and never give in to the challenge. Miss Fankhauser's mu- sic students not only had the op- portunity to show their vocal tal- ents in the play, but many of them helped with the behind the scenes work of preparing flats and props. Finally, after the musical was per- formed for the last time, the play cast and the play crew joined to- gether for a huge pizza party. The cast celebrated two very success- ful evenings of performances and sighed the final sigh of relief. Schroeder (Marc A.). Patty (Shelli B ), Lucy Van Pelt (Darla A ). Snoopy (Paula D ). and Frieda (Sue S.) are wondering where the baseball went!! 12

Ethiopia hit with famine “W e are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving. Those famous words from the song We Are the World were sung all over the world by Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Won- der, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Kim Carnes and other famous singing stars. The song was de- signed to do something about the disastrous fa- mine that has hit south Africa as well as the hun- ger in the entire world. All of the money made from it was to go to the starv- ing people of the world. In a matter of weeks it moved up the charts and hit number one, where it stayed for a prolonged pe- riod of time. The Ethiopian crisis has been the worst famine in African history. Drought spread in two vast belts across the continent. Nearly 30 countries were listed officially as hungry, and some of these coun- tries whole populations have been in danger of ex- tinction. Five hundred thousand people have al- ready died in Mozam- bique and Ethiopia alone, according to Newsweek magazine. Tony Hall, a congressman from Ohio, returned from visiting Ethiopia complain- ing about precisely that inequity. At a press con- ference he stated, It is unconscionable that peo- ple on the other side of the globe should die of starvation while moun- tains of food — yes, liter- ally mountains of food — pile up in our silos.”
