Drama; Guys & Dolls, Ellington at Eight...
Faust's players are intensely loyal to him. "He treats everyone like a son," says Star Tailback Eric Ellington. "We don't think of him as a coach but as a father." At the end of each season, Moeller's football father says farewell in an emotional ceremony that has become traditional. After the final practice, the seniors line up to shake hands with the underclassmen and assistant coaches. This year, as always, Faust stood at the end of the line.

...Saturday night at the Berklee Performance Center with nationally acclaimed tap dancer Leon Collins and the spirited Danny Sloan Dance Company. Sloan features a repertory of jazz, ethnic, modern and ballet, while Collins, who teaches at the Harvard Dance Center, has toured nationally with the Jimmy Lunceford Band, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Saturday night's bill will also include the Jassin' Singers and the Joel Press Jazz Quartet, both of which are local groups who regularly perform new works. The festival will receive a strong kickoff Friday night when world-famous ballet dancer Edward Villella hosts the opening reception...
