Grant ·------·February 2001 The Quaker Page 5 Anything goes this spring BY MARY SUITER Singing and dancing, all on a big boat. .. it could only be this year's spring musical, Anything Goes. Perfor­ mances are on March 16 and 17 in the auditorium. Tickets are $5 and will be sold during lunch periods and at the door. By the looks of things, this production should be a big hit in more ways than one. First featured on Broadway in 1961, the play has become a classic and is enjoyed by many generations. Music and lyrics were written by Cole Porter in the 1930's. Mrs. Jeckavitch and Mrs. Cleland chose the play for this spring after many hours of discussion. They chose this one because of its music, and they felt that the roles could be played by students as SHS. The play is not based on any actual events, nor was it ever adapted into a motion picture. Still, it remains a favorite among theater goers thanks to its memorable songs. It takes place on a ship called the U.S.S. Americana in the 1930's. Some famous songs from the play include "Anything Goes," "It's Delovely," "I Get a Kick out of You," and "Friendship." Supplying the musical accompaniment is a professional orchestra, including our very own Mr. Purrington and Mr. Krauss, along with other musicians from the Youngstown area. Because the musicians cannot leave work during the day, a performance during school hours will not be possible Adam Roberts of Crestview and Mrs. Cleland serve as choreography instructors. Mrs. Tice and her commit­ tee will design costumes, most of which come from thrift shops. Others are rented from Akron. Mrs. Cleland is also lending a hand as set designer. All of the action takes place on the boat, which 'makes things a little easier. Mrs. Jeckavitch is the musical director, Mrs. Cleland the artistic director, and Jodine Pilmer directs the orchestra. Many of the actors have acting experience prior to Anything Goes including performances at Salem Community Theater and the Stage Left Players in Lisbon. Mrs. Jeckavitch commented that the rehearsals are going very well, and she knows it's going to be a great show. Lead roles are played by Katie Newman, Laura Jeckavitch, Rachel Mathes, Troy Tice, Chip Cleland and Justin Dennis. Entertainment world vs. Judiciary system BY SARINA MCELROY It seems lately that more and more celebrities a:re out, "I like JC better anyway; he's cuter!"

Here is her mom she was leaving the lobby. McGuire claims just a taste of some of the lawsuits that are still pending in Timberlake then met up with her inside the hotel, backed the entertainment world. her against a wall and scolded her for the comment she LeAnn Rimes filled a $14 million lawsuit against made.

Meanwhile, the band has filed yet another lawsuit. This one claims Guerlain, the century-old French fragrance manufacturer, is causing confusion using the name "Metallica" for a vanilla-based scent, which has been in stores as a limited-edition fragrance. Jeffrey A. Spector has filed a lawsuit against Tom Green for allegedly including him in a recent TV stunt without permission. Spector claims he was targeted last year by Green when he was tumbling around downtown Los Angeles in a broken wheelchair for a Tom Green Show sketch called "Lucille, Loose Wheel." Spector claims he was asked ifhe would sign a release allowing his face to be used on the show. He says he refused, but the show decided to. use the footage anyway, and it has been rebroadcast several times since first airing in February. Spector says Green ruined his life because the stunt made him look like he didn't care about a mentally or physically disabled person who had fallen and couldn't get up. Those are just a sample of the many court cases that are going on right now. I don't feel I need to mention the cases going on about Napster, the Puffy-gun trial, the DMX-drug trial or the Jay-Z-stabbing trial because most of us just wish they would settle those cases once and for all. Unfortunately, most celebrities can pay their way out of the cases without justice being served.

A few steps later the back­ pack is thrown beside him on the ground, and the win­ dow is slammed shut. Jamal races home to check his backpack, which is filled with his personal journals. He opens them up and finds red words scribbled on the pages, giving suggestions on his writing. Angry, Jamal returns to the apartment to demand why the mystery person went through and wrote on his journals. This is the start of a very important friendship between Jamal and the old man, who just happens to be a famous writer, William Forrester, although Jamal Page 7 The Quaker February 2001 PREFACE Dance the night away For the short month of February, The Quaker BY CRYSTAL NA VOYOSKY Focus staff has decided to emphasize the topic of Sa­ lem High School traditions that have been lost, ones Salem High School students lived for school we already have, and ones we may attain in the up­ coming school years. Dances, assemblies, and old dances back in the 1950s and 1960s, which is a varied classes are just a few of these ideas the staff has de­ opinion held by today's SHS students. Unlike our an­ nual three dances that all students can go to (Football cided to reflect upon this month.

They were free and even had live bands, in contrast to our "Our Gang" current dances with disc jockeys.

February 2001 The Q1L1aker Page 11 II Time for change BY MEAGAN BROWN

It's pretty odd if you can walk down the halls ofSHS and not hear about new rumors of changing our school. It seems like next year is going to be completely different than how it is today. Although so many changes are being discussed, not all students agree with them. Here are some responses to the question "With all the rumors going around of changing our school, what would you suggest to initiate some effective change?" Will Aldrich-10- Have a couple less periods. Russel Yoho-10- Have a longer lunch period. Sean Loutzenhiser-11- Specified periods for sleeping, eating, and watching sitcoms. Andrew Rhodes-11- No school. Derek Mayhew-11- More passing time between periods. Start later and get out early too! Mike Baranovich-11- Shorter days Jason Paster-11- Open lunch. Sarah Collins-12- For the newspaper to actually print the true, uncensored opinions of the students. Jared Wilson-11- I'd rather have a period added with the periods being shorter than taking.a period away with them being longer. Heather Ingold-11- Come in later, go home sooner, and have an open lunch! Mandi McCartney-11- Shorter days. I have things to do. Stephen Gagnon-11- Longer lunch Steve Johnson-9- There shouldn't be any more detentions. Amanda Price-11- I would let students leave for lunch if they drive to school and come in late or leave early if they have study hall. Nick Farrow-9- No more Saturday's! Ryan Barnett-11- I think more funding should be given to extra-curricular activities, especially band! Josh Whinnery-12- I would have Burger King and McDonald's installed in the lunchroom. Dan Graffius-9- No more Diet Coke!

The Junior varsity dance teams from Crestview and Lisbon will also compete and the Lisbon freshman dance team will be part of the competition. Each team will have two and a half minutes for each routine. There will be trophies awarded to the first, second, and third place varsity cheerleaders. A first place trophy will be awarded to a non-varsity cheerleading division. The varsity dance division along with the non-varsity dance division will also be awarded a first place trophy.

Page 13 The Quaker February 2001 Boy's Basketball The Boys have had a tough schedule lately. They traveled to Niles a few weeks ago and took a tough defeat by the score of 87-58. Even though Nemenz poured in 22 it still didn't cut it that night. Canfield was next, we played them up at their place. The Canfield game was a good game until the fourth quarter then things just went wrong for the boys and they took a 68-52 loss. The Bulldogs of Poland came into town and gave the boys a 74-61 loss with Brian Markovitch pumping in 11 points. A big game for Ryan Drake was when he scored 23 against Struthers when they came here for a showdown. Even though Ryan had an excellent game it wasn't enough. The score of that game was 69-61. We played Minerva in Salem and Mike Bailey had 20 points, but we were defeated 77-74. Then the winning streak started for Salem. A barnburner here with Howland started the winning for us. Then Niles came to town and they took an 80-75 loss, with Nemenz putting in 21 and Markovitch adding 20 that helped the Quakers get the win. Following that game was a Poland game at home when the boys took their first loss after a tWo game winning streak. The next night the Quakers traveled to Alliance and came home with a 68-56 victory. Against Alliance, Mike Bailey broke a thirty-nine-year-old record set by Bob Eskay for assists. Mike had tWelve assists that game. The boys are now 5-13 overall and 3-6 in MAC action.

Girls Basketball The Girls have also had a slew of games. Saturday January 13 the girls had a game here at home with the Niles Dragons and the Quakers won with Allyson Cotter coming in with 17 points. Three days later the girls went to Canfield and took a loss. The next three games that the girls played were at home. The first one was against Poland and the Quakers lost that by 15. Rayen came into town and they went home with a loss. Tut:: day before the Super Bowl Struthers came to town, yet they did not beat the Quakers. The girls traveled to Howlc1nd January 31st and lost a tough won 21-20. Three days later an afternoon game with Niles was exciting because the girls came home with another victory. A tough game with Mooney at home did not go too well. The girls lost to Mooney 34-27. A Saturday afternoon game with Canfield did not go too well for the girls as they took a 50-38 loss. The girls are now 10-8 overall and4-5 in the MAC. The girls are currently in third place for the MAC championship.

Wrestline The wrestling program has been having its fair share of problems. They as a team lost to Howland when they traveled there. The next match was up in Boardman on January 24. That match was not a good one as the boys lost 64-6. At the Hoppel Invitation as a team, the boys lost. Against Ursuline, the boys lost a close one wi1;h a. score of 36-33. The E.O.W.L tournament was next. As a team the boys didn't win the whole tournament but they held their own. At the tournament Tom Miller took 4th place in his class, and Robert Vogt took 6th place in his respected class. XFL debut BY PAT STEWART

In a previous article in November, I talked about the XFI and its various goals and rules. Last Saturday, the league kicked off with the Las Vegas Outlaws playing the NY/NJ Hitrnen and the Orlando Rage faced off against the Chicago Enforcers. There were also games betWeen the San Francisco Demons and the Los Angeles Extreme and the Memphis Maniax up against the Birmingham Thunderbolts. Other than the Outlaws/Hitrnen game, most of the games came down to less than five points. · The first shutout was recorded on a Saturday night as the Outlaws shutout the Hitrnen 19-0. The game's stats were, for the most part, balanced-the Hitrnen racked up 205 yards while the Outlaws produced 257 yards. Time of possession was relatively balanced as the Outlaws only had a five-minute advantage. However, neither team was very effective on third down as the tWo teams combined went 5-25. The first set of games featured the Chicago Enforcers playing the Orlando Rage in a game that came down to the last three minutes. In a three-minute drive the Rage captured the victory of a 16-yard TD pass that proved to be the game winner. Ex-NFL player, JeffBrohm, led the tWo teams in passing by going 14-22 for 217 yards, one interception and four touchdowns. The later games saw, the San Fransico Demons eked past the Los Angeles Extreme 15-13 as kicker Mike Panasuk nailed down a 33-yard field goal as time wore out to clinch the game. The other Sunday game featured the Memphis Maniax against the Birmingham Thunderbolts. The Maniax were able to keep the Bolts at bay as they sweated out a 22-20 victory. With the season well under way, only the fans can decide ifthe XFL will be a success or an Xtreme flop. Page 14 The Quaker February 2001 February Freshman Athletes Of the lVIonth
