 The major problem seemed to be mental atti- tude rather than skill, says Coach Birch. The team had an annual awards banquet on Nov. 3. The winners of the awards were Jan Mendenhall, Julie Ricks, outstanding players; Mary Hull, most inspira- tional; and Nancy Krabill, most improved. Sophomore Mary Hull summarized the season, Considering it was the first time for most of us to have played power volley- ball, we learned a lot and had a successful season despite the win-loss rec- ord.

Award winners included Laurie Rodgers, Wendy Baaske, outstanding players; Martha Kroessin, Mari Horvath, most inspirational; and Becky Ries, most improved.

“Up The Down Staircase” Entertains Students At South You have to be a mind reader, says Cindy Kelsey, Stage Manager, to know the casts thoughts and needs. But whether Cindy read their minds or not, the cast did a great job in pre- forming Up the Down Staircase, written by Bel Kaufman. The play centered around a new teacher, Sylvia Barret (por- trayed by Connie Hall) coming to Calvin Coolridge High School, with great hopes and dreams of teaching frand ideals to her stu- dents. Her dreams are soon shattered by the rowdy kids. In the begining scene Helen Arbuzzi (Christy Mitch) comes in the classroom only to drop-out. With like instances Sylvia be- comes more distressed throughout the play. Joe Ferrone (Dan Paige) is Sylvia's challenge. Joe is an un- caring student, looking for someone to crea about him. Sylvia tries with Joe but seems to fail. With one defeat too many, Sylvia goes to apply for another teaching job at Willowdale Junior College. The students find out and begin to show how much they really do like Miss Barret. The end of the term ends, another begins, and Sylvia Barret is still there. And to join her is Joe, and Helen ready to show that life is what they can make it. 26-FALL PLAY
