Salisbury High School has many exciting activities planned during the month of March for both students and members of the community.

Earlier this month, the SHS Theatre program presented, “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.” The musical was a comical tale of Charlie Brown who was going through his day. Throughout the musical, Charlie Brown had many unexpected failures including losing a baseball game, embarrassing himself in front of the girl he liked and procrastinating on a book report. The musical was joyful and comical, but it wasn’t until the last line of the play when Charlie Brown’s friends say, “You’re a good man, Charlie Brown” that the audience was truly moved.

Congratulations to the SHS swimmers who went to states March 16. Mahlon Reihman is the state champion in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:39.28. Daniel Bonge is the state champion in the 100-yard fly with a time of 49:94, which is a record time for the school. The members of the boys 200-yard freestyle relay team, Arthur Oliver, Bonge, Reihman and Ben Wiener received second place.
