play is not sad even though it is about death, but instead it shows love and how much you should appreciate each day of your life.
OLLI Town will be staged as the original, without any scenery. The student director is BethAnn Karabin, with Shannon Vincent and Mike Heitzman in the leading roles of Emily and George.
"OuA ToMn is one of the two or three finest plays of the century," said Mr. Donald Martello, director. "The play changed the course of American theater." "The show is well cast which will provide overall enjoyment for the audience," added BethAnn Karabin, student director. The English Department gave the idea for choosing this play because the sophomore classes were reading it. Oux Tomi was performed at Maine South a few years ago but with a limited audience because the play was done in the summer. This time it will be videotaped and cuttings will be used by the English classes. They will also show dress rehearsals to the junior high schools. The stage manager Ted Bales steps • Mr. Martello said, "The play is in as the minister at George (Mike ^full of humor and romance. It is di- Heitzman) and Emily's (Shannon Vin-

Annie'plans Aniiie. Ge,t Vour Gun,
this
year's
broadway musical, will be presented April 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, and May 1 in the auditorium. Mr. Loyd Spear, music department chairman, said that Annie- Ga.t Voux Gun was chosen because "it's completely different from anything we have ever done before. It's lighterhearted than past musicals and we wanted to get into a lighter vein this year. It also involves a lot o" iids and will give more people ar jpportunity to get involved in music and drama." Aiiiue Get Voux Gun is the story of Annie Oakley, a female sharp-
f
advance shooter in Buffalo Bill's side show in the early 1900's. "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" are some of the popular songs in the musicaj. When asked if the play will be a success, Mr. Spear said, "We've never had a bad one yet, and I hope they'll continue to be as good. tiaine South has a fine orchestra, "id dancers, and plenty of darn yuuu singers, it should be a real fun show for everyone, not only for those watching, but for everyone involved on stage and backstage."
Starting next fall dropping a fifth subject will be wery difficult for students. "When students drop a class, the size of the class drops with them and we would like to operate more full classes," said Mr. Bonney, Chairman of Counselors. 'We can't afford to hire the teachers and get the rooms and then have students drop the course. Choosing a course should be a firm commitment." Mr. Bonney found that students are dropping subjects either because their work load is too heavy or the student does not put enough effort into the class. The principal and assistant principal are working on a definite plan to make it more difficult to drop a fifth solid. Mr. Bonney said one possible plan is to shorten the current quarter limit for dropping a solid, or to include the department chairman, principal, and the counselor in deciding whether or not to let the student drop the class.
