If you’ve never been, it’s worth the 8 hour trip to Cedar City. Just took 50 students and chaperones to see “The Merchant of Venice,” Peg o’ My Heart,” (drama) and “Johnny Guitar” (musical). There were no drugs this year. Just a sick kid and a 3:00 a.m. phone call from another about a “bubble” growing on their bathroom ceiling. It truly was a conical sort of bubble hanging down about 10 inches which looked ready to burst at any moment. The manager was awakened, but he told us to put a garbage can under it. okey-dokey.
