You Can 't Take it with You , direct ed by Mr David Watson and student director Jenny Brownson was pre sented October 9 and 10. The main characters consisted of two families, the Kirby's and the Sycamore's, who were distinctly different 1n beliefs. The young adults of these two fam ilies, Alice Sycamore (Megan Hines) and Tony Kirby (John Resnick), want ed to be married despite contrast - ing backgrounds The comedy had many humorous moments Tony Rothert (Mr . De Pinna) wore a toga which resembled a dress Tresa Willich (Essie) added humor to the play by "gracefully" dancing her way across the stage. Jim Sears (Paul Sycamore) had a hard time lighting a sparkler tor a scene Then there was the high p1t ch scream that could have broken glass. Jamie O'Brien (Hender son), the source of it, made the audi ence ;ump as she left the stage upon seeing snakes. Although the Kirby's and Syca more's had their disagreements, this was not a factor with cast members. Senior Doug Dillon (Mr. Kirby) com mented, "This was the first play I was involved with at Assumption . I was amazed at the closeness of the cast "But I didn't do anything! " pleads Ed (Bob and am glad that I had the opportu Burr) nity to participate."

"A real cute show, I was glad I went" "I never stopped laughing" These were just a few of the en thusiastic praises that were received by the cast and director of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown." The musical, presented March 13 and 14 in the Dr. John Sunderbruch Audito rium, was essentially the story of a day in the life of Charlie Brown. Based on the comic strip, Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz, and written by Clark Gesner, the production con sisted of many small skits taken from any number of scenes within the life of Charlie Brown. Many skits were recognizable to a Peanuts fan, such as the "Baseball Game," the "Doc tor is In" and the tragic "Kite ." Director of the show, Mr. Dave Watson, was pleased with the per formance and stated "the musical cast worked well together, the members all had a lot of empathy for one another ." The cast itself was headed by seniors Jeff Roets as Charlie Brown, Sue Wessling as Lucy, Jim Sears as Linus,and Doug Dillon as Schroeder ; as well as junior Tresa Wil lich as the irrepressible Snoopy. Oth er performers included senior Jenny Brownson as Violet; juniors Carol Kroy as Sally, John Resnick as Shermy, and Kathy Neuberger as Peppermint Patti ; and last but not least, sophomores Bob Burr as Pig Pen, Jane Martin as Marcie, and So phia Thomas as Frieda.

hat did 55 unique students at A.H.S. have in common? W Why they were Thespians, of course! Each belonged to the In ternational Thespian Society Troupe at Assumption for their participation in school productions . To become a member, one had to earn 10 Thespi an points by contributing to a musi cal or play . Be they actors or crew members, all shared the same en thusiasm for entertainment . One activity the Thespians partici pated in was an acting workshop at Circa 21 which ended with the pro duction Joseph and the Amaz ing Technicolor Dreamcoat . Also, they enjoyed critiquing 42nd Street at the newly refurbished Adler Theatre . The annual picnic to initiate new members was a tradition unbroken. Senior Carol Vermeer commented on the May 21 event saying, "Every year the initiation has been a custom of A.H.S. Thespians which is passed on from class to class." Meetings were held about three times during the year with Thespian moderator and production director Mr. Dave Watson at the helm. Points were awarded and productions planned at the meetings as well as the election of officers at the first meeting of the year . Tony Olson presided as President and Jenny Brownson served as Vice President while Jane Martin, Carol Kroy, and Mary Howell were Secre tary, Scribe, and Treasurer respec tively . "The theatre is an interesting ex perience and I hope more people find the courage and will to go out for the fall plays and musicals in the future," said member Tresa Willich. "It's a lot of hard work , but in the end, the cast parties are a blast and the compliments are rewarding ." Brownson added, "I hope more peo ple become interested in the the atre at Assumption . . . because it's a great experience and lots of fun!"

Under the guidance of Miss Maureen O'Connor , it's duties were carried out . One role of the Student Council was to organize the major dances, which involved hiring bands or a disc jockey . A DJ provided the music at Homecom ing instead of the usual band playing. By sponsoring the dances at Assump tion. the student council earned mon ey to pay back their debt to the school, which was loaned to them for operating expenses . The representative body was also in charge of filling the pop machine which gave it the right to receive the money earned from the pop sold. Further, it is the student councils obligation to re present the school. "Activities do not just involve the council, but let the stu dents take part as well," commented senior representative Carrie Jensen .

The French Club's destination was Paris, France , and its E.T.A. was just as the 1985-86 school year ended . Mrs. SusieMarr. director of the French Club, and French teacher. felt that the primary reason for the trips to Paris, ( and Quebec for those who were not able to go to France), was to learn about another culture - something that one couldn't learn about in class. Members checked in coats for the si lent auction. and held a Mardi Gras Dance for fund raising. The Latin Club, which met irregularly, was a newly formed club. In spite of their fund raising being put on hold, they went to the Field Museum in Chi cago. Jenny Ditch. a member of the Latin Club, said "I always have a good time at the meetings they're always fun . The meetings were also encourag ing because I looked around and saw all the people that have gone through the same torture that I'm going through, and they survived, So I know I can ." Members celebrated a Christ mas party by watching "Ghostbusters" on a video cassette recorder .

January 1 brought anticipation and frustration to many University of Iowa fans. The Hawkeyes, going into the Rose Bowl with a 10-1 record (losing only to Ohio State), were favored to win by six. Many fifth year seniors were back for their second Iowa Rose Bowl, including idolized quarterback Chuck Long. Facing the UCLA Bruins, Iowa received a crushing defeat with a final score of 45-28. Commenting on the loss, Assumption senior Joe Flaherty said, "Iowa might have won if it hadn't been for Ronnie Harmon's turnovers." While the granddaddy of the college bowls was a disappointment. the Super Bowl put many Iowans in a triumphant mood. Sunday, Janu ary 26th became the first day in 22 years that the city of Chicago celebrated a major sports victory. Stomping the New England Patriots with the most lopsided score in Super Bowl history, the Bears came away with a 46-10 win. Before the big day, Chicago fans enjoyed the hype surrounding # 72, William "the Refrigerator" Perry, "the Super Bowl Shuffle", and quarterback Jim McMahon's head bands.
