Visions Of Stardom Plummet This year, as always, TFS entered the One Act Play competition. There were three actresses involved: Rhonda Gibson, Mari Bailey, and me (Hara Kahn). There were just three, so it seemed as if it wouldn ' t become cha- otic. But little did we know our great visions of stardom would plummet into mass confusion as the reality of the theatre came into our recreational life every night. By some magical insight and intu- ition, Mr. Frank Gannon, the acclaimed English teacher, put the three naive girls into typecast roles. Rhonda played Joanne, an old-fashioned air- head; Mari played Kathy, a confused but organized person; and I played Mary, a very wild, liberal and sarcastic girl who wanted her freedom badly. The roles fit. The play was called Vani- ties. It is about three popular girls who are cheerleaders in high school, who are faced with boys, homework, par- ents, and growing up. The play ad- vances into college, and then they are out on their own. The basic plot shows the ways they change, and the ways they don ' t change. And then Mr. Gannon said Let there be lights! Who was going to do the lighting and sound? Who else but Andrew Flury dared to venture into that light and sound room. We were also assisted by Jeri-Lyn Tyson, who was a ready hand with makeup and costumes. The play had three scenes. The first and second scenes went quite smooth- ly — then came the third scene. The experience was like every atom in ev- ery piece of matter exploding at the same time — and then there was noth- ing. What happened? Nobody but a few of us will ever know and the few of us who do know aren ' t talking. Later on, as we recuperated in the dressing room, we heard a crash. A friend of Mr. Gannon ' s had broken a piece of Mrs. White ' s china (part of our props)! What were we going to tell her? Later on we found out it was really a cheap plate from the Home Ec Room. At the end of the day came the judges ' final decision. A decision which should have taken 15 minutes at the most; a decision which we all waited two hours to hear. We placed 1 1th out of 11. We could have placed 8th, ex- cept we went two minutes over the time limit. It was that horrid third scene. There was one factor that made it all worth it. Mr. Gannon went to Clayton and ordered a large pizza at Pizza Hut. It was yummy. — HARA KAHN UNICEF

Snow! Snow is wonderful. So soft, so gentle, so fun. But it hates the sun. — Chris Kirkland
