GHS Arsenic and Old Lace Public Performance- 2:00 PM on Sunday, March 8, 2020, at the GHS Auditorium. Admission is $5.00. Come catch our 2020 UIL One-Act Play before we present it for contest! Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic look at family… for better or worse. Mortimer Brewster, a dramatic critic, finds that real life is stranger than fiction when he must find a solution for his two sweet old aunt’s murderous habits, his psychotic brother’s return with a plastic surgeon and a grudge, his other brother’s insistence on being Teddy Roosevelt, and a mixture of bumbling cops who make everything more complicated! Insanity runs in his family and it means hilarity for all involved!

Fable of the Porcupine

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together.  This way, they covered and protected themselves; but, the quills of each one wounded their closest companions even though they gave off heat to each other.

After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen.  So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. This way they learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the close relationship with their companion, but the most important part of it was the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive. Therefore:

The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but the best is when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.


CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY

What did the dad say to his kid that wanted to go to the pet store to get a porcupine? (Go www.thecruseline.com or email me for the answer.)


 

“That seems pointless!”



Have a nice day!
