days teach us that decline begins below the

myself a diehard baseball fan: maybe because I
pore over every statistic in the newspaper each
morning, or maybe because I think the way I
wear my Red Sox hat actually affects the outcome of the game.
This year, though, I started to wonder
about something: why do so few people
(myself included) attend the PA baseball
games?
Iimean, practically the entire school rode
buses for an hour to watch the football team,
play Exeter, but the bleachers here at Phelps
field are rarely filled. There was a time (when,
say, George Bush Sr. played first base) when
an Andover-Exeter ballgarne could attract very
large crowds, not just of reminiscing alumni,
but of students. What happened?
Unfortunately, for someone who loves
baseball like myself, I fear the lack of enthusiasm is part of a wider trend affecting the
nation. Baseball attendance figures across the
country have been going down for a few years
now. Everyone whom I talk to complains that
baseball is "too slow", and that there isn't
enough "action". So has our national pastime

really quite simple: we all have trouble concentrating sometimes.
I can recall many an afternoon spent sitting

perhaps I should have been doing work, and
many an evening spent trying to convince
myself to keep working once I had started. But
does this mean I should cry 'foul'?
ADD is one of the most pernicious hoaxes
perpetrated by liberals today. It is yet another
attempt to suggest that we're all really the

their receipt of the article late Monday night.

You can then imagine my surprise when I
read the article on Friday afternoon and found a
sentence tacked onto my final words of "I will

present tense; I assume the editor meant to
write "amabo " so that the sentence would have
translated, "I will always love him." Despite
the bad Latin grammar wrongly attributed to
my name, what upset me most about this was
that it turned my personal reflection on my relationship with Jeff into a Whitney Houston song

America has sacrificed the drama and history of baseball in search of higher octane
'sport' and a quick fix of testosterone and

"One of the directors chose to cancel her play because of its content," he

Williams and Christine Choi entranced a
plethora of family and friends as they bid
Andover farewell in their joint voice Senior
Recital.
Williams' first two pieces, Jesus is Love,
by Lionel Ritchie and Oft she isits this loved
mountain, from Dido and Aeneas by Henry
Purcell, demonstrated her vocal versatility and
technical ability. From a soulfully rich interpretation of Ritchie's piece, to the sparkling and
maturely executed baroque aria, Williams'
intonation was remarkable and her expression
highly musical.Following this, Choi joined
Williams for a presentation of George F.
Handel's He shall feed his flock like a shep,,herd. The dynamic duo's propensity to smile,
to interact with the audience, and the casual
manner with which they approached the music

In the wake of intermission, Williams performed her signature piece, So in Love, from
Kiss Me Kate by Cole Porter. By that point in
the concert, the audience freely allowed itself
to have fun, responding with enthusiastic
laughter to Williams' wonderful facial and
vocal expressions. A high point arrived when
the damsels sang By My Side, a hauntingly
beautiful selection from Steven Schwartz'
Godspei. Opened by music teacher Peter
Lorengo on acoustic guitar; the piece wandered
into faulty territory. Despite this error, the two
seized the opportunity to turn the mistake
around; having fun and makting everyone relax
as they laughed at themselves,
Another such prospect occurred during the
appearance of Inskip - which Williams is a
member of - yet the performers mitigated the
mistakes with laughter. Finally, Choi ad

proved even more eerie from the lighting platform above the stage. The Cloud Chorus performed their function well. The trustees would
be surprisingly proud at the mockery, and the
actresses performed with the perfunctory
frigidity necessary.
"So Zeus is out," Strepsiades ponders after
his first lesson, "and convection-principle's in."
DeLollis' persona endures both the most eloquent of insults, such as Sokrates' "Never in all
my days have I seen such peerless stupidity,"
and banter, such as a telegram sent by the moon
or the gender of Greek nouns. DeLollis' natural acting skills, combined with his ceaseless
Rodney Dangerfield-esque moaning added to
the performance, although Advil occasionally
seemed necessary.
Leaving the Thinkery in confusion,
Strepsiades returns to persuade his son to attend
school. Soon a face-off arises between
Philosophy, Lucy Greene '00, and Sophistry,
Teresa Diaz-Morera '0. Arguably the highlight of the evening, the boxing match was an
echo chamber of insults,-retorts, and quips.
Greene first launched her attack in defense of a
traditional education - when, she said, "the
regime of the three D's - discipline, decorum,
and duty - enjoyed unchallenged supremacy."
Jogging around the stage as she loosened her
muscles, Philosophy tol d Strepsiades to withhold his son from the Thinkery, mocking the.
supposedly effeminate Sophistry.
Diaz-Morera retorted with an equally wellacted routine, leading Philosophy to grumble,
"I've been beaten by the Buggers," and storm
off, throwing her cloak into the arms of
Classics Chair Nick Kip '60, who warned all
before the performance: "This play is bad
news." The two new actresses performed with
zeal, and threw themselves into their performances boldly.
From this point forward, the plot drags

The Clouds moved into high gear from the
very beginning, as Strepsiades bitterly lamented, touching on everything from his upper-class
wife, to his penchant for whipping slaves,
Haranging his son to learn how to "get away
without paying argument," to outwit opponents
in court, Strepsiades gives up in despair Curtis, with his signature indignant look utters
"How would I face the fellas down at the
track?"
Pheidippides is a decided pony-playing
punk - and Strepsiades enrolls himself. A
Socratic disciple played by the ever goofy John
Maglio '00 in his PA stage debut and farewell,
answers the door and gives the newest academy
member a tour of the grounds, pointing out students "doing research on Hades,"'with "asses'
scanning the skies" because, as the student
explains, they are "taking a minor in astronomy." Maglio added comic relief to the producon, although he often couldn't be heard.
Finally Strepsides meets the famed
seeking the new, immoral logic. He advises
that Strepsiades "be am-itted to intercourse
with their Serene Highnesses, our goddesses,
the Clouds." "Intercourse with real goddesses?" comes DeLollis' mouth-foaming reply.

will likely have rival Middlesex in a

win, they will probably get another shot
