Rio, Adopts Korean· School "Curses, foiled again!" This and other timeless lines will either de­light or disgust you when you at­tend the corny but hilarious faculty melodrama, "No Sooner Won Than Wed" to be presented on February 7, 8, and 9 at Rio.

tardly doer of evil deeds, Baron Wilhelm Von Snipe, portrayed by, of all people, Wayne Roberts. The Baron desires the fair Melody's hand in marriage, but as always in these faculty melodramas, good triumphs over evil, love conquers all, and the hero gets the girl.

Chuck Gebhardt will emcee the ~

show, with Marilyn McConnell as the card girl and Theresa Marelich on the piano.

employment in the cities. Mr. Hong wanted to help them get the educa­tion they needed, so he decided that he would give Oonam students a free education. He bought 30 acres of sUrrounding farmland so stu­dents could work on campus and the school could be self-supporting. The town was enthusiastic about the school, and each day parents of students came to h~lp level the ground and build classrooms. Mr. Hong hired local people to build the school, but he had to send to the cities for materials. The school was completed on June 1, 1970.

, This theatrical masterpiece tells , the heart-warming story of that dynamic duo, Lambert Lamplight, and his dearest darling, Melody Lovesong, respectively portrayed by Joe Kine and Barbara Weiss­man. This noble, pure-hearted pair's love for each other is, en­dangered by that dastardl~~ das-

All this transpires in three acts, accompanied by the valiant vocali­zations of a genuine barbershop quartet, featuring Mike Baxter, Marion Gribskov, Bill Jenks, and Loren Wright. Other characters in the play are June Gatewood as Zinnia Zwieback, Ben Teeter as

So ... you'd be surprised how entertaining teachers are once they leave the classroom! Don't miss this opportunity to hiss, boo and occasionally applaud Rio's fearless faculty in their all-out effort to once and for all time cap­ture the undivided attention of the student body. Make sure you see this play!

, Raiders Welcome Super 'Hero Three weeks ago, Rio received a

surprise visit from one of the greatest super-heroes or' our time - Cap'n Marsupial. Clad in his Official Cap'n, Marsupial blue and gold jump suit,the gallant doer of good deeds from Fringeland ambled about campus, discussing , his presence and exchanging his philosophical views with students.

About his visit, Cap'n Marsupial said, "What beings me to Rio is this. I ani actually a student here in disguise, and I'm selling comic books which I have created to 'interested stUdents because this is the way I make my living."

Pertaiiling to his future plans, the Cap'n says that he might visit Rio two or three more times this year. Also, he will soon have an­other comic book published, his 'fourth. . To Rio's student body, Cap'n Marsupial offers this little bit of advice: "If you (plan a vacation soon, you might consider coming to Fringeland, because it's a really neat place." First, though, you had 'best make sure where you are now, for, as his friend, the Wizard, says: "You may already be there."

Join the Litter Ridders!

The Cap'n's shades conceal his true identity as he mingles with the ordinary mortals at Rio. '

The school is the Oonam Jaekun Junior High School in Oonam, Imsil, Junpuk, Korea. The school's principal, Mr. Bum Sick Hong, visited Rio recently" to accept a certificate from Mr. Joseph Brewer that unofficially announces Rio's adoption of the Oonam schooL Mr. 'Hong has travelled throughout the United' States try­ing to raise money for his school. When the Korean Consulate in 'San Francisco gave him the idea for a sistet-'school;' he came 'to Sacra­mento and, subsequently, to Rio.

Mr. Hong is a member of Korean society's wealthier class. He was educated in South America, and he hoped to become a diplomat, con­cerning himself mostly with changing Korean policy toward education. However, Mr.' Hong says he, " ... realized his obliga­tion as an educated man," and de­cided that he must work in educa­tion where he could be most effec­tive. He returned to his home town of Oonam and, with his own money, began building the Oonam Jaekun Junior High School.

Education in South Korea is compUlsory until the age of 13. If the students go on to junior high: school or high school, they must' pay tuition. Since Oonam is an im­poverished area, the young people

. were deprived of an adequate education and were not eligible for

Students come from as far as 20 miles away to attend the school. There are eight teachers and about 60 students. Besides regular, sub­jects, the students learn English, as 'this is animpottant require-ment for employment in the cities, and music. Mr. Hong's wife, whom he calls the "school mother, " teaches the female students home economics. Mr. Hong teaches the male students Taekwondo, a form of karate.

Now Mr. Hong plans to build a dormitory and a high school; so the students of Oonam will be pre­pared to enter colleges. However, he needs money to help finance them. Rio's purpose in adopting the Oonam school is to give theSe students the education they want and need. Rio students can work in their various school organizations

,to earn money for the Oonam schooL This is probably tbe worthi­est serme project Rio could sup­port, so take the opportunity to help these students in South Korea. We can make a difference in their lives. ~

by Christi Olson Once upon a time in the land of Dixon, there was a rather aged and

wrinkled emperor. Now this emperor, along with his loyal subjectS, pre­tended to rule the land with a democratic hand. So he set up laws for the people of Dixon to follow. Most of the people at this time were very fond of their leader and obeyed his every word. If the emperor asked them to sell their farms for the state, ~ey did so. If he asked them to invest their money in the economy, they did so. And if he asked them to pay more taxes to help their sons who fought in the land wars, they did so. You see, the war between the people of Dixon and another country, which was on the other side ,of tile globe, was being waged because of political differ­ences. The people of Dixon did not understand this, but since they had everlasting faith in the emperor, they did not object to this seemingly useless war.

Many wars and many dead sons later, the people of the land started to question the judgment of their emperor. It seems that the loss of the wars and the sudden change of public opinion had worried him no end. And at this time, a challenger representing the true interests of the people came forward to challenge the emperor. He had few followers. but this still worried the king. However, he easily dismissed of his challenger and continued ruling Dixon. Just a few eons iater, strange sayings about the emperor's actions began to reach the people. They had heard that their emperor had broken even his own rules to rid himself of the fearless chal­lenger. Many of his loyal followers were found to have broken the laws" it was rumored, under orders from the emperor himself. The highest judge of the land even suspected strange doings, and he formed a team of re­sponsible citizens to discover the real truth. Soon, many of the emperor's loyal followers were found guilty and sent~nced to years of menial labor. The emperor even persuaded his true friend and. vice-emperor to turn himself over to the lawmakers and admit his guilt of years past.

The people accepted this reason for his leaving the highest poSition in the land, but they felt that the emperor had really heeD . at fault and could not continue because of all the pressures.

Now the people of Dixon had learned a lesson from their emperor. Days later, a new emperor was decreed in the land of Dixon, and the kingdom was well on its way to patching up all its problems. But once. upon a time, in the land of Dixon there was a rather aged and wrinkled emperor ....

. Silver Scree'n)~t.~ Liz Bouchard and Scott Jones,

Rio seniors, were selected as ex­tras in the movie, "Four Stars in the Window," which was filmed in Sacramento and the vicinity last month. Only 20 boys and 20 girls from the Sacramento area were chosen to be in this film, which is a pilot for a television series about a family during World War II.

Liz and Scott learned of the opportunity for extra parts from Mr. John Hawck, Drama Director, Who told them a movie company was in town to audition local talent. The two seniors went to the EI Rancho Hotel in downtown Sacra­mento where, as Liz describes it, "a mob" of young people had come to display their talents,. Liz and Scott were chosen as extras for their dancing and acting abilities.

Both Liz and Scott had their hair cut in the 1940s~tyle for the movie. Professional make-up men and costumers prepared them for their scenes, and a choreographer taught them the popular dances of the 1940's. Liz and Scott performed, ;heSe dances in the Senior Follies.

"Four Stars in the Window" will be shown on television in February or March as an ABC World Pre­miere. The film is directed by Buzz Kulick, who also directed the highly acclaimed movie, "Brian's Song." Be sure to watch this film, where Liz and Scott get their start in show business and rise to star­dom! Someday, when they're famous, you can say you went to th,esame high school they <;lid.

Having left behind a family of eight brothers and two sisters, Jose writes home often. He first left Posta Riea, Mexico to go on tour with his all-star basketball team. The team played all the high ' schools in the San Juan District, lOSing only two games. One of their losses was to Rio's team. During this time,' Jose stayed with the Loveridge family. They first be­came involved in the exchange be­causeof their daughter Karen, who was a RA'ette, also participated in an exchange to Mexico. The Love­ridge family offered Jose the chance to remain in Sacramento and complete his education at Rio.

Where else but Rio could one see Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Richard NiXon, Kung Fu, and BulIwinkIe all in' one night'? All these acts were part of Rio's second annual senior Follies, a talent revue featuring singing, dancing, and comedy.

The showed operated in the spirit of fun and successfully generated that feeling to the audience. Miss Kay Kelly is responsible for or­ganizing and directing the hour and a half of entertainment. She should be commended for her im­pressive efforts.

The only problem with this year's show was that it seemed to be geared too much toward the

,active Rio student instead of the

by Blair Leatherwood As sp.orts edit.or .of the Ri.o· Mirada, I am bec.oming increasingly

depressed .over what I feel is an alm.ost t.otallack .of spirit at this sch.o.ol. It is very hard f.or any.one, and I mean any.one, at this sch.o.ol t.o get any­body else enthused about anything.

The Raider soccer" tea~ looks to be .one .of the best teams Ri.o will field this year, having won their, CVC T.ournament, and n.ow h.olding third place in their league. The team is undefeated, with a seas.on rec.ord .of 3-0-1, the tie c.oming last week against the San Juan Spar­tans.

The Spartans and the Raiders deadl.ocked at 0-0, with Paul Gam­ble, T.odd Franz and Jim Shaffrath leading the Raiders ..

In previ.ous games, Ri.o blanked the Bella Vista Bronc.os 2-0 .on g.oals by Jim Shaffrath and T.ony Perry. Paul Gamble and Bill Finkbeiner were defensive stand.outs.

Ri.oals.o beat the Mira L.oma Matad.ors 1-0 .on a g.oal by ~im W.ollrabe. Paul H.oward and Jim Shafirath led the Raiders in that c.ontest.

The Raiders .overp.owered the .other teams in the CVC T.ourna­ment held at Ri.o. They defeated

Encina 2-1, Casa R.oble 1-0, and La Sierra 2-1 bef.ore beating the Sac High Drag.ons 2-0 f.or the cham­pi.onship.

G.oalie Randy Davis, center full­back T.odd Franz, and f.orward Jim Shaffrath were named t.o the all­tournament team.

El Camin.o and Casa R.oble shape up as the Raiders' str.ongest .oppon­ents this year, th.ose tw.o teams being the .only .ones ahead .of Ri.o.

A prime example .of .this is the w.onderful idea .of the rally. Originally designed t.o get a school's spirit up f.or a big game, this spectacle has lost all meaning f.or the student body. Many students use this as an excWJe to g.o h.ome, .or, if it's in the middle.of the day, they'll g.o .ove, the levee. F.or the people wh.o d.o g.o, it's just t.o watch a bunch .of c.ostumed cuties sh.ow off their legs, scream a little (if they're n.ot d.oing s.omething else .on. top .of the bleachers), and then hum thr.ough a s.ong that every.one is supposed to kn.ow by heart after f.our years. Sometimes they d.on't even d.o that. The seni.or class has distinguished itself this year by dem.onstrating a total lack .of interest at alm.ost every functi.on. At these rallies, most .of them just sit .on their hands.

An.other example .of lack .of spirit at Ri.o is the po.or attendance at .our f.o.otball games. True, we did have a l.osing seas.on, but that sh.ould n.ot

Varsity Off to Slow Start st.op s.omeone fr.om g.oing.t.o see their team play. After all, the maj.ority.of Head Coach AI Manfredi .of the .our games this year were held at EI Camin.o, and that certainly isn't too varsity basketball team h.opes t.o far away.' have m.ost .of the wrinkles ir.oned

This lack .of spirit spreads int.o .other areas .of .our sch.o.ol activities. N.o .out .of the team by this Thursday _.one listens t.o the daily ann.ouncements, and if s.omething just happens t.o When Ri.o travels t.o ARC f.or the catch their attenti.on, the teachers and fell.ow students are barraged with, Keema Classic t.ournament.
