Broadway Dreamers Every year the actors of S.M.H.S. gather together to display their talents. They work many long hours to put together an off-Broadway presentation. Last March the show performed was “Broadway Dreamers. All the actors portrayed everyday people on a busy New York City street — venders, businessmen, singers and dancers. In the story, all the characters shared one dream — to become a star on Broadway, and when they entered this new dream world they all became professional singers and dancers in a world famous company. Some of the cast members were Jerry Doherty, Mary Jean Johnson, Tracey Tice, Josephine ladevaia, and Beth Vollmann. “Under the direction of Adele Monjoi,” says one cast member, “we all put our best foot forward.” Everyone in- volved including the stage crew had a great time working together to make the play a huge success. 18 School Play ABOVE — Josephine ladevaia, Tracey Tice and Mike Santangelo back up Jerry Doherty's rendition ot Elvis Presley.

Grease 3 A new, funfilled Junior Class ac- tivity this year was 50’s Day. The whole Junior Class and faculty were invited to dress up for the occas- sion. There was a lot of digging through old clothes and calling people to borrow saddle shoes or to see what to use to grease back hair. As one Junior Randy Wilson said, “It was a groovy day; our class looked hip.” A large percentage of the class participated. There was a luncheon for the class at St. Pat’s Hall where everyone enjoyed good food and music from the 50’s. 50's Day was very enjoyable and surely will be one of next year’s activities.
