May 1st is maypole day in Bavaria and a day for the local people to dress in their finest costumes and celebrate this important annual occasion. The hoisting of a maypole is an important part of all spring festivities. The earliest reports of Maypoles, as a symbol of all things that grow and bear fruit, date back to the 13th century. The DSB’s Maibuam was erected several years ago, compliments of the Enzian Volkstanzgruppe with a traditional Maibaum Aufstellung. Our maypole was erected in the “old fashioned” way with ropes slung together between poles and a lot of muscle power. Centimeter by centimeter our Maibaum was slowly hoisted into the prepared hole. When all the work was done it was time to celebrate with music, food and dancing. Unlike other regions of Germany, in Bavaria the stripes are Bavarian weiss und blau (white and blue). Once the pole was erected it was hung with the beautiful painted shields, representing all the sub-groups of the Delaware Saengerbund. In Germany the symbols represent the local trades and guilds, ours show visitors the traditional groups within the DSB.

  • Ferris Bueller Running Scene
    Ferris bueller running scene Continue The 1986 John Hughes film Ferris Bueller redirects here. For the series, see Ferris Bueller (series). Ferris Bueller Day OffTheatrical Release posterDirected byJohn HughesProduced byJohn HughesTom Jacobson Written byJohn HughesStarring Matthew Broderick Mia Sarah Alan Cancer Music Ira NewbornCinematographyTak FujimotoEd Pole Hirschsreas Poparaunt PicturesReligase Date June 11, 1986 (1986-06-11) (United States) Duration103 MinutesCountryUnited StatesLanguageEnglishBudget $5.8 millionBox office $70.1 million, and co-producer Tom Jacobson. The film stars Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller, a high school slacker who skips school during the day in Chicago, with Mia Sarah and Alan Rak. Ferris regularly breaks the fourth wall to explain his technique and inner thoughts. Hughes wrote the script in less than a week. Filming began in September 1985 and ended in November. Featuring many Chicago attractions, including the then Sears Tower, Wrigley Field and the Art Institute of Chicago, the film was Hughes's love letter to Chicago: I really wanted to capture as much Chicago as I could. Not only in architecture and landscape, but also in spirit. Released by Paramount Pictures on June 11, 1986, the film became one of the highest-grossing films of the year, grossing $70.1 million with a budget of $5.8 million, and was enthusiastically appreciated by critics and viewers. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, which was deemed culturally, historically or aesthetically significant. A plot in the Chicago suburbs, near the end of the school year, high school student Ferris Bueller fakes the disease to stay home.

    Scott Meador First UMC Micah 6:1-8 May 3, 2017 “Some Things to Do” (Baccalaureate) I Some here we are, Baccalaureate 2017, Independence, Iowa. As seniors in high school, you are about to graduate. You are about to move on to new endeavors . college, trade school, military, travel, work. New doors are being opened for each of you. I remember Baccalaureate during my senior year of high school. It was 1986, Naperville, Illinois. Our baccalaureate service took place in the school gymnasium. The speaker was a local episcopal priest. I don’t remember anything he said, but I remember the time together with other students. I remember that time, 1986. Now the 1986 was a year in which our country saw the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, the Iran-Contra hearings with President Reagan on the hot seat, and re-opening of the Statue of Liberty after a long renovation. In regards to pop culture, Madonna, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi were the top musical performers, and a popular movie was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Many of you might know the movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I know your parents are familiar with the movie. The movie involves a high school student in suburban Chicago, Ferris Bueller, who decides to spend a day off from school and head to downtown Chicago. With a couple of buddies, he makes a list of all things he wants to do. One by one, he and his friends go down the list. They visit Art Institute, Sears Tower, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Wrigley Field.
