on the back wheel locked, so we had to pull over on the side of the highway. The colorguard decided to use this time to practice for the show. They were all in their uniforms which consist of tight leotards and cut away skirts. They drew many honks from passing cars as they twirled their flags on the side of the road.
The mechanic who came to fix our bus was quite amusing as well. An eccentric, backwoods Mainer looking kind of guy, he arrived in a pickup truck to help us out. Smoking a cigarette, he lowered himself under the still running diesel bus to check out the situation. Those of us who noticed took a weary step away from the bus. But, hey- he got it fixed and we were off again, arriving there two hours later than we should have been. The other bus, carrying most of the instrumentalists (as opposed to the colorguard), got to Sanford on time, but could not, of course, perform without

the rest of us. 

When we finally got there, we were not allowed to compete because we were so late that our division has already gone. We did, however, perform in "exhibition" and we did an excellent job. We were critiqued by the judges and, according to Mr. Libby, they complimented our show and acknowledged us as top competition for Dover, who swept our division that night. So- we're really looking forward to the next competition, since we have greater pride and assurance of ourselves. Perhaps we'll win ... if we get there on time.

tundo, as well as school administrators and student leaders. Special assemblies were offered to inform students of available school activities and services. After following an abbreviated Blue Day schedule, the students were treated to a barbecue while members of the LHS band performed in the cafeteria. The orientation ended with an abbreviated White Day schedule.
  Opinions from teachers and students were mostly positive regarding Freshman Orientation. Mr. Mancine, math teacher, commented that the group tours were very helpful for introducing students to LHS, and that the barbecue is always good. English/History teacher, Mrs. Gross, said that it was beneficial for the freshmen to be there without the upperclassmen, but suggested that there be more breaks for students in between speakers and activities. Student, Billy Peters, remarked that the worst part of the day was getting lost, but the best part was that the teachers and few seniors who were there were very helpful in showing freshmen where their classes were.

met. And the subject matter... a stop sign is being put at the town's only intersection where a horrible car accident occurred the year before. However, the show is about much more than just a debate over a stop sign. It's a play about people wanting to maintain their life and feeling pressure from the outside world to change and come of age. Will the town crumble to the forces surrounding them or will the people unite and fight for what they believe in?
Despite the relatively small cast of 7 males and 6 females, in order for this play to be a success we are going to need lots of interested people to do such things as props, costumes, lights, sound, stage crew and ushering.
