Chorus Performs ‘Guys And Dolls’
By LORI STARKEY
The Choral and Ensemble
presented their Sgring produc
tion last week. The students
performed a comical musical
called “Guys and Dolls.” The
musical was presented Thurs
dag, February 24 and Friday,
February 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the
CHS cafeteria. The musical was
also performed for local el
ementary students. The cost of
tickets were $3 each. ;
Guys and Dolls is a very fa
mous musical about the gam
bling life in New York City in
the 19 50s. The plot is centered
on a bet made between Nathan
Detroit, played by Thomas
Brooks, and Sky Masterson,
played by Joseph Swords.
Swords said, “I like being
a main character. It’s a lot of
work, but it’s all worth it at the
end. I would like to thank Ms.
Kiser, who choreographed ev
erything in the musical. Our
show was great this year, just
as others have beenin %rewous
years. | reallf' hate that this
year’s musical was my last.”
Skg is out for fun and
games but realizes that the ob
ect of the wager, Sara, played
{)y Lauren Wetzel, is the kind
he could easily fall in love with.
Nathan Detroit, a notori
ous gambler, is in love with his
doll, Adalaide, played by Leslie
}l‘(nox, but he refuses to marry
er.
Adalaide works at the Hot
box Theatre and Dance Club
where beautiful dancing girls
entertain their customers.
Adalaide is in love with
Nathan, but she hates the fact
that he gambles.
The conclusion to the play
has a surprise when Big Jule
comes to town. Doug Alex
ander, a Chorus Alumni mem
ber, played Big Jule.
Bridgette Berr{, asenior at
CHS, plays the role of Arvida
Abernathy. When asked about
how she felt about the play, she
said, “I think the play went very
well and we cou](s)n’t have done
it without Ms. Kiser and
Christie Calhoun. I would be
lying if I said I was not happy
for s\is to be my last musical
ever.”
Chorus Members that
were in the play include:

Beta Club Helps St. Jude
By BROOKE HARDEMAN
The Beta Club at Chattooga
High School is getting involved
in the community. Two of the
fundraisers that the Beta Club
decided on participating in were
the St. Jude Children’s %-lospital
“Trivia Challenge” and the Mus
cular Dystr(;phy Association’s
“Shamrocks for l?;strophy."
The St. Jude fundraiser con
sisted of club members answer
ing questions out of a booklet
made by St. Jude. The students
then had to go out and raise
moneg' for the questions that
the{' ad answered. St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital,
which was founded by the late
entertainer Danny Thomas,
treats approximately 150 pa
tients every day, mostly on an
outpatient basis. It is the first
institution established for the
sole purpose of conducting basic
and clinical research into cata
strophic childhood diseases,
mainly cancer, and is the largest
childhood cancer research cen
ter in the United States in terms
of the number of patients en
rolled and successfully treated.
Out of every dollar received
at St. Jude Hospital, over 86.7
percex:)t'%oes to current or future
needs of St. Jude Hospital. About
9.6 percent is fundraisin; cost,
and 3.7 percent is used for ad

shows. It has all the elements
that make a great Broadway
show: comedy and beautiful

half weeks with their new coach,
Mr. John Lewis. The team hopes
ministration costs. To treat a
child with standard-risk acute
lymphocytic leukemia requires a
2-1)‘)2 year procedure. 'l%e first
year of treatment costs about
$60,000. The second year of
treatment averages around
$40,000, with the third year’s
costs estimated at $20,000.
The Beta Club is also help
ing to raise funds for the Muscu

selling Shamrocks Against Dys
trophy. One minute of research
costs S4B. MDA spends about
$25 million a year on research
funding some 400 projects
worldwide. MDA research has
located genetic causes of most of
the 40 neuromuscular diseases
in the Association’s program.
MDA supports more research on
neuromuscular diseases than
another nonfiovemmental orga
nization in the world.
Ms. Allred, sponsor of the
Beta Club at CHS said, “We are
very happy to be able to partici
pate in such an event. We know
that the money we raise will go
toward a good cause.”
