The EHS Drama Club is proud to
present Broadway's legendary musical, Les Miserables |
|||
 Originally
adapted from Victor Hugo’s timeless novel, Les
Miserables, EHS drama introduces a new generation to
the grand and inspirational story that has touched the
hearts of millions.
This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes an honest man, but the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later, after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean’s adopted daughter, does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed, for within Les Miserables lies the universal truth “To love another person is to see the face of God”. With its true-to-the-age costumes, multi-dimensional moveable sets, fabulous acting and vocals, it is sure to be the must-see high school show of the year. Performances are Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, April 2 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are reserved seating at $5.00 each. Senior citizens are free but must have a ticket. To reserve tickets or for more information, call the Drama Hotline at 656-7100, ext. 20900. Tickets are also on sale in the EHS Main Office during 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.

"Thank You"
from the McGinnis Family Posted: Wednesday, May 7, 2003 |
|||
A debt of gold is easily
repaid. A debt of Kindness is impossible to
repay. The family of Daniel R. McGinnis would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support from his family in the Edwardsville area. We appreciate all who made the long trip to Rock Island for Dan's services, the flowers, cards, memorials and shared stories. Those stories about your experiences with Dan were priceless and brought us more comfort than words can ever express. We are speechless by the touching memorial service you held for him on 5/04/03. It was an amazing tribute to Dan that we will never forget. We want to thank Coach Wagner for giving Dan the opportunity to be a Coach. Wrestling was Dan's passion. Dan frequently talked about his wrestlers. You meant the world to Dan and were the kids he never had. Thanks to each and everyone of you for the love and joy that you brought to Dan's life. Your love and support have brought much comfort to a family that loves Dan and will miss him more than words can say. May God bless you and bring a smile to your heart in Dan's memory. » Dan McGinnis Memorial |

t's
what every team in the state dreams of when they lace 'em up
for the first time back in November -- a chance to play at
state. But the harsh reality of it all is that only the top
eight teams get that chance -- and with a 53-41 Tiger win
over East St. Louis on Tuesday night in the Carbondale
Super-sectional, Edwardsville is one of the Elite Eight....
The Edwardsville Tiger girls bowling
team earned its second straight trip to the state tournament,
capturing the Alton Sectional Saturday afternoon at Riverboat Lanes
in Alton. Seniors Kimber Moscardelli and Lauren Mayo finished
first and second, respectively, as individuals, helping the Tigers
to a 98-pin victory over Southwestern Conference rival
Collinsville...
This was
a busy week for Edwardsville's E.J. Jones. As one of the
area's top uncommitted seniors, Jones has been trying to get a
handle on where he will be going to school and playing football next
year... 
The
EHS Class of 2005 commencement was held at the SIUE Vadalabene
Center June 4, 2005. Congratulations and good luck!!
The
boys tennis team finished first of 15 teams in the Bloomington

Congratulations
to the EHS girls basketball team, which will make its first trip
ever to the IHSA State Tournament this weekend. The team won the
Supersectional last night, beating Mascoutah 47-44. The girls, Coach
Lori Blade, and her assistants are all to be applauded for this
tremendous accomplishment.
The
bowling team began its quest for the state title back in October. We
started the season on fire, winning our first 9 matches. We stumbled
a little, losing to Granite City and Collinsville. We did, however,
rebound to win the conference with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses.
The State tournament began with the Sectional tournament in Alton.
After two games we were in third place over 100 pins behind. We came
back from that deficit to win the Sectional by 132 pins. We then
competed in the State tournament at St. Clair Bowl in O'Fallon. We
began in third place after the 1st round. We then jumped to first
place after round 2. On Saturday we bowled well, but Lake Park High
School bowled better. We slipped to second place. The fourth and
final round was our best. We overtook Lake Park to win the
championship by 392 pins. Zach Hahs was the individual state
champion with an average of 241. Daulton Colligan placed sixth in
the competition. In all, it was a dream come true week-end for the
Boys Bowling team.
