o al couple ins honor The highlight of the performance was the presen- tation of Lady Din to the awaiting Prince of Wales. The juniors rocked to many tunes as they presented The Rolling Stonef, Attired as gray rocks, the class sang the theme to the movie Rocky, and I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal. The rocks made a costume change to become sparkling diamonds. The senior class chose America's Heroes: The Dallas Cowboys as its game plan, which scored points for the seniors as they won second in vocal and costume. The class sang about the doomsday defense, Tom Landry and cool Charlie Waters. Admitting that they left their hearts in San Fran- cisco this season, the Cowboys assured the au- dience that next year they'll Make It. Senior class director Mark Love described Sing Song as about the funnest thing that happens during the course of the yearf, Not only was Sing Song fun, it also was quite profitable - the three performances brought in about 525,000 Student participants recommend- ed how the proceeds be used. After those recom- mendations went before the administrative com- mittees, the participants voted on what projects the money would go to. A 55,000 grant to Spring Break Campaigns and 520,000 to light the in- tramural field were chosen. After the money was counted and the balloons removed from the Coliseum, students returned to the studies and classes that during Sing Song preparations somehow became extracurricular. - M arybeth Perkins This page: top - Sophomores, winners in vocal, custome and orginality, salute the royal couple,' bottom - ACU's Prince and Princess of Wales are presented to the crowd by the sophomores.
