After acting in his first play, Martin stated that he found the theatre the place that l was meant to be in. From a toy duck, Martin went straight to playing Jesus, the star role in C-odspell, during his sophomore year. Other roles he played in Tokay High productions while he was a sophomore were the musician in The Butterfly, Pa in the Villi- an's Last Stand, and Henry Antrobus in the Skin of Our Teeth. Achieving these roles success- fully won Martin the title of Theatre Arts Student of the Year in 1986. I was surprised about receiv- ing this award because l was a sophomore and l thought only seniors received it. Martin started out his junior L . .. Ducky part ruffles junior to perform year by being appointed presi- dent of the International Thespi- an Society Troupe 2747, where he organized meeting and ar- ranged for activities. When he was not working for the troupe, Martin was found studying his lines for plays which according to Martin took up most of his spare time. The roles that Martin studied so hard for were Charley in Merrily We Role Along, and Hodge in Gammer Gurtonis Needle. In the future Martin hopes to be studying roles for a Broad- way theatrical production, hope- fully a musical because they are fun to do, he said. by Robyn Rosselli 272 O .1 .: -is ,xr . Q i is is 1?

When I came home one day, he lDadl had a boat in the garage and he asked if I wanted to race. I said, l'd fry ir. Since then, Gruber has con- tinued in the sport of boat racing. Although she comments that her mother was apprehensive about her starting up, she has been very supportive ever since. How' ut .. aucm, ever, she says that her mother still gets nervous every time she takes the boat out to race. Her mother's fear was sub- stantiated by some of the things the family has witnessed at the meets. Her father had, at one time, dislocated his hip, a com- petitor crushed his face, and another competitor suffered from paralysis after his boat broke in two. Gruber, who has escaped with little more then a couple of bruises, continues to race for the excitement of going out there and winning. So far she has won two second place and two third place titles. As for the future, she has chosen a more solid substance to walk in. She plans to be an accountant, a career accentuated by her love for math. by Robin Saxen Freshmen 271
