Have You Heard the News? The 1988 spring musical Good News proved once again that St. Joe is blessed with immense talent. Gooc News , a fast- paced jazzy comedy, provided great enter- tainment for all who attended. The story is set in the late 1920 s at Tait College, where the big football game and complicat- ed love relationships create a hysterical plot that kept audiences captivated and amused from start to finish. The story begins a few days before Tait ' s big football game of the season. Tom Marlow, the star football player, however, is failing astronomy. Without a passing grade on the exam, he cannot play in the game. His girlfriend, Patricia (played by Katy Blakey) can ' t tutor him, and instead persuades her cousin, Connie (played by Rachelle Anthes) to be his tutor instead. However, Connie and Tom fall in love instead. Meanwhile, many other relationships are going on, including that between Bobby Randall (Chris Murphy), Babe (Lisa Domin- ello) and Beef (Pete Horvath). Of course, through some miracle, Tom Marlow passes that astronomy exam, and Tait wins the game through an amazing pass from Tom to Bobby in the last minute. Lynn Timmons, a newcomer to St. Joe, directed the progress of the musical and developed the talents of the cast. Renaita Duda, also a newcomer, choreographed some of the best dancing ever by a St Joe cast. Chris Murphy (Bobby) said, This sh ' was a perfect cap to my four years involvement in theatre. Everyone in th cast followed that golden rule in hi school theatre: we all had fun. Ed Wolf (Prof. Kenyon) said, The title of the musical tells it all. Not only was I happy with the performances and the audi- ence ' s responses to them, but a real sense of family grew amid the cast. And with Matt Hunckler as the musical director and Br. Chris Dreyer designing sets, how could the results of the show be anything but Good News? Head over heels. Chris Murphy and Lis. their love for one another.

A dinner and a dance? The 1988 Junior-Senior Prom had a different format this year. De- spite the initial reservations, the majority of those who attended agreed that the night was a great success. The dinner, served in the Monogram room at the Joyce ACC gave couples a chance to see everyone before they hit the dance floor. Friends socialized by candlelight in the dining room which was filled with excitement eind a sence of unity. The spec- tacular decorations certainly en- haced the atmosphere and made it a fine dinning experience After people finished thier desserts (and the inter-table sug- ar cube fight), the couples drift- ed into the concourse where blue and silver balloons and me- tallic streamers decorated the Get a little bit lower now; Brother Bob gets down to the Beatles on the dance floor. dance floor and the band. This End Up once again provided the music. There were enough cou- ples there to create a feeling of friendship and unity which pre- vailed throughout the evening. This feeling was evident toward the end of the night when a chain of a few people soon in- cluded every person on the dance floor. Junior Kiernan Cressy said, I was really pleased with how it all came to- gether after all of the work we put into it. Melt with you by Modern English was this year ' s theme song. It fit in perfectly with the atmosphere of the prom. The romance, the friendship, and unity of the evening will offer many happy memories for years to come. Shell! Hirschler, Brett Ballatore, Erin Hollowsay, Tim Kalamaros, Jeff Holland and Paula Black. Kathy Shane and her date take time out for refreshments. Katie Worthman and Sue Kulesia seem fascinated by Terry Wilkin ' s tale, but Dave Mack and Michelle Hutti seem less impressed. 23
