Pavilion High School presents 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown'

By Billie Owens

Pavilion High School presents: "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"

Though considered a "good man" by his friends, Charlie Brown has never been able to keep a kite in the air, never successfully kicked a football and can't seem to win the heart of the Little Red-Haired Girl.

As the "Peanuts" gang makes its way through the day, Charlie wonders what it takes to be a good man as he sees Schroeder’s passion for Beethoven, Lucy’s crush on Schroeder, Linus’ complex about his blanket, Sally’s new philosophy and Snoopy’s ace flying ability.
