Lights, Action. .. CorogJsel! On the first ond second of November the West High stoge wos lit up with brightly colored costumes ond students olive with tolent. An even more lit up stoge wos seen during the dinner theotre on the eigth ond ninth. It wos cotered by Pliefe's ond the ushers were volun- teer West High Students. The reheorsols begon eorly on inthe school yeor for both octors ond the orchestro people. Orchestra ployed on importont port in the cueing of octors, ond giving the feeling of liveliness to Corousel, The set wos one of the more eloborote seen on the stogeg with- out the unified work of the set mokers nothing would of come off. The lights odded o festivol feeling to the stoge, ond helped creote the overoll effect of on octuol Corousel, The combined efforts of both stoge director Tom Noob ond music direc- tor Ann Houghton odded the lost rosy touch touch of dromozitorion the ploy needed. The musicol wos obout o focto- ry worker, Julie Jordon Uulie Lowd- er, '86D ond o cornivol worker Billy Bigelow Ueff Broinbridge.

Life A if'-'3 5 1 anal! , , xv ,j . lj u -I., 'rar g. '- A J ,, v -.df , A., 8 rin., I .,-, , 1, in the Vortex High school life is often chootic. Homework, extro- curriculor octivities, friends, gomes, donces, home, fomi- ly, ond jobs ore oll blended together into o moss of confusion, frustrotion, ond jubilotion. Students ore truly on their own os they struggle through this VORTEX of octivi- ties ond emotions. Cwritten by B. Speer? How Sweet it Is Clubs ore notorious for fundrois- ers. We hove oll seen the Funky Winkerbeon' comic strip with its determined bond instructor, who sells everything from condy to pumpkins ond turkeys- on item for every seoson. The ogonies of being o solesper- son is known by mony students ot West. Condy bors ond other edibles seem to be the most populor fundroisers. They contoin on unknown omount of colories: yet someone in every closs bought one, if not two. Getting rid of the condy wos no problem, but others did exist: . . running out of chonge, keeping trock of oll the money, ond eoting them, were just some occording to Kris Farley, '87. Louro Tietjen, '87, odded, The box gets heovy ofter corrying it to every closs. Cwritten by B. Speer? E Sophomore , Mc, Sovy The key to life is the obility to odjust. One of the biggest tronsi- tions o student must moke is from junior high to high school- SOPHO- MORE YEAR. The word itself is o controdiction. lt's literol tronslotion meons wise fool. Though o sophomore moy stort out the yeor o fool, he ends it being quite wise to the woys of West through numerous ond often emborrossing experiences. The first obstocle for o sophomore is mostering his schedule, The computer monoged to ploce his locker for from his closses ond the closses for from eoch other, Next is lunch, To get through the line, eot, ond hove time to cotch up on oll the gossip is the ultimote ochievement. Homeword ho! is the coll of the exhousted sophomore. Weori- ly he trudges toword the finol rriol - the bus. Kicked out of seots by seniors ond wolked on by juniors, he sinks grotefully into the only empty seot. Bewore- the bus is something to be endured, with the noise of rodios, singing, ond screoming odded to the smell of week-old lunches, chewing toboc- co, ond musty cushions Csomething stroight from the Twilight Zone ?. Toke heort- everyone must en- dure sophomore yeor. lt's o chor- octer builderl Cwritten by B, Speer? 28 Mini Mogg Quogmire of Quirks CRACK! TAP! SNAP! A new breok- fost cereol? No, it is oll obout crozy quirks ond hong-ups. Sitting in closs with nothing to do, the pencil storts to top, knuckles stort to crock olong with ony other popoble port Cbocks, necks, wrists. . ,? Next the feet stort to jiggle, top, ond, bounce. Everyone does it to re- lieve tension, boredom, or even for omusement. Though mony people engoge in such octivities, the some thing done by onother is irritoting ond nerve wrocking. Sitting in study holl with some- one humming orsnopping his gum, it tokes greot control not to get up ond rip off his lips or vocol cords, then tie the gum in o bow oround it ond give it bock to the onnoy- once. After working lore, portying oll night ond now trying to get some sleep in closs, someone is incessontly clicking his pen. Sudden- ly in o moment of blind fury, the instigotor soils through on open window to the courtyord below, Hopefully such extreme meosures oren't needed, but next time - CLICK- think Cwritten by B. Speer? B-r-r-r ' I R-i-n-g. Hello? A threod of dreod crept olong the spine os the voice of the geek from sixth hour whined over the phone's receiver. The phone: o device of ro- monce, gossip, heortbreok, ond in some coses, terror. Whotever gossip couldn't be soid in o closs, the holls or lunch is discussed in detoil over the phone. Mojor plons ore mode for week- end portying. Gossip moy olso entoil the shoring of onswers for vorious closses, or to listen to o lost minute essoy for o frie. d's opinion. The device of terror comes when the wrong guy colled ot the wrong time. Guys feel the some when o girl relentlessly pursues them. At this time tell your fomily to onswer the phone ond tell them thot you hove tempororily moved to the frigid North Pole. lt olwoys rings ot the wrong time, too, either whenjust leoving, or ofter pulling the cor intolthe drivewoy. lt olwoys stops just when you reoch it.
