SCHOOL STORE CHANGES COMING

BY JAMES THONRBURG

Change is coming to the school store. While the current school store only sells salty snacks and Arnold Palmers, sweeter things and more drinks are coming. If you’ve recently checked your email, you’ll find a survey from Kai Polozie asking what you want to see in the school store. The current most asked for items are Crunch bars, Takis, and Oreos. The school store staff are also looking to diversify their drink selection to include many flavors of Prime, Gatorade, Arizona Green Tea, and perhaps Sprite.

Q. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS MUSICAL.

Ethan: Pretty good.

Nora: Pretty fun.

Sydney: A lot of fun and made a lot of new friends.

Teddy: Very fun to play a main character.

Q. DO YOU HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE ACTING?

Ethan: A few plays.

Nora: A few school musicals.

Sydney: Only the Addams Family play last spring.

Teddy: Beauty and the Beast earlier this year.

Q. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE LINE?

Oliver: “Really? This is the best birthday ever!”

Nora: “This is Phineous Trout, where the sweet has turned sour.”

Teddy: “Is ze room getting smaller, or am I getting taller? Ah-ah-CHOO!”

Ethan: [It’s h]ard to get homework done because there is a lot of work going into the play. It’s a good academic activity to work on outside of school.

Nora: It’s challenging that the vocals range a lot from high to low.

Sydney: It’s hard to figure out where to go when people are missing.

Teddy: Vocalizing tenor in the Oompa Loompa song and changing octaves with each line. •

When I asked Chris, the overseer of the school store, what’s happening with school store operations, he responded with “we’re looking to move into sweeter items, like candy.” He also told The Howler “the motto of the school store is ‘For the people.’ We will always offer the lowest price possible that still allows us to restock our store.” Chris also plans to rotate special products throughout the year according to seasonal tastes.
