Shannon Dozoryst Education and Outreach Coordinator Horizons Educator’s Resource Guide: Everybody’s Hero Credits ABOUT YOUNG AUDITORIUM AT UW-WHITEWATER Editor: The Young Auditorium is located on the University of Wisconsin- Shannon Dozoryst Whitewater campus and serves both the campus and public communities. Young Auditorium The auditorium presents the highest quality arts and entertainment Education and Outreach programming in a wide variety of disciplines for diverse audiences. There is something for everyone each season at Young Auditorium, including Contributors: touring Broadway shows; classical, jazz, rock, pop, and folk music; family Everybody’s Hero study entertainment; school matinee performances; world-class ballet and guide content provided by opera; comedy; and lectures. This season marks the Young Auditorium’s Mad River Th eater Works 15th year of sensational performing arts programs under the big, blue roof. Horizons Educator’s Resource Guide content The ground breaking for the auditorium in June 1991 was made possible written by Shannon through the Irvin L. Young Foundation. The Foundation, along with the Dozoryst auditorium, honors an individual whose name had long been associated with philanthropy and humanitarianism throughout the state of Wisconsin and around the world. From humble beginnings, without the advantages of a high school or college education, Mr. Irvin Young used his time, talents and strong entrepreneurial spirit to establish a variety of successful businesses. Inspired by a business trip to Africa and the commitments he formed there, Mr. Young established the Irvin L. Young Foundation in 1949. Mrs. Fern Young continued her husband’s benevolence until her death in January 2002. Thousands of people, both at home and abroad, have been positively affected by their kindness. It is our goal that, by bearing Mr. Young’s name, we continue in his path of serving Wisconsin residents for years to come. Teachers have permission to reproduce any and all parts of this study guide for classroom use only. HORIZONS SCHOOL MATINEE SERIES The mission of the Horizons program is to support the curriculum of schools by providing culturally diverse programs and outreach opportunities for K-12 students. This will be accomplished through 1) providing performances and hands-on, interactive outreach opportunities that cultivate an appreciation for the performing arts among young people that will last throughout their lives and 2) supporting teachers through professional development opportunities in the arts. It is our vision that someday every K-12 student in the auditorium’s service region will attend a Horizon’s performance and/or participate in an outreach event each year.

    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.
