thanks for a job well done! "ANNIE GET YOUR GUN" The high school drama and music departments will he presenting "ANNIE GET YOUR GUN" November 10, 11, 12, 18, and 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Reserved seat tickets will go on sale October 31 in the high school principal's office. Playing the lead roles of Annic and Frank are Wendy Gabriel and Eric Swenson. Other significant roles are being played by Andy Mechavich, Kristin Richard, Ned Brown, Lars Christianson, Jason Brainard, and Mark Zambreno. Student directing the pit band is Diana Lee. The play tells the story of Annie Oakley, a hillbilly sharpshooter, who displays her skill and is invited to join Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show where Frank Butler is the star marksman. Of course the two fall in love, but Frank is threatened because Annie's skill begins to rival his place in the spotlight. Familiar tunes include "Doin' What Comes Naturally," "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun," and "There's No Business Like Show Business." Tickets are $4.00 a seat and may be reserved by calling the high school office at 473-5472 but must be picKed up by 3 p.m. prior to the evening's performance. Remaining tickets will be on sale at the door each evening. Senior Citizens and district pass holders may pick up free tickets to the opening night performance on November 10. That is the only night that passes will be honored. ... ..• ... ... ... .:1 1. J. �• ``11 y, `1 �.

That Task Force, comprised of patents, teachers, and administrators, is in the process of developing a survey for all the residents of the district relative to the scheduling of the Orono Schools. That survey will be coming to your home sometime after the first of November. We would ask that you respond to it quickly and return it as directed within the survey. The Task Force will be base its recommendation to the Board on information gathered in the survey. The Task force has studied all the financial and scheduling ramifications but still feels a strong desire for community input. Both positive and negative responses have been expressed. Most elementary teachers and some parents report that the earlier schedule for elementary students promotes a very positive environment. Advanatages cited include improved student performance, alertness throughout the day and more planning time for teachers. Following is a listing of teacher and parental concerns brought to the attention of the Task Force 1. Elementary children are too tired to cat breakfast. 2. Difficulty in getting elementary children up and going not quality time. 3. I.S./M.S. students home after elementary students. 4. Daycare. 5. Not notified of the schedule change in advance. No public hearing. 6. Elementary students getting on the bus in the dark. Commuter traffic. 7. Does the shortened day create stress in children or teachers? 8. M.S. students leaving during academic day for interscholastic sports. 9. I.S./M.S. nonproductive time in the morning before school. 10. I.S./M.S. scheduling. 11. Short lunch time. If you are the parent of a primary, elementary, intermediate or middle school child you should have received via your child a .listing of the Task Force members.
