On Wednesday, February 11th, over 170 Deer- field High School students participated in this annual event. The student body had the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel all around the world for free. Many of them took advan- tage of the offer to experience the cultures of foreign lands. Ethnocenter was an arrangement of displays which were intended to present realistic portrayals of various countries through the use ot maps, artifacts, food, costumes and mu- sic. The students feasted on many exotic dishes and enjoyed devouring the ethnic sweets. There were foods from just about every country, commented an observer. A variety ot countries were represented, including India, Spain, Korea and Scotland. Students were able to exper- ience a wide range of cultures and were introduced to as- pects of life in the countries represented. Israel and Japan were especially popular, each having more than two booths. All of the students who participated in Ethnocenter 1987 worked hard to make it a success. It was an all-around good time in a cultural setting. The coordinators, Mr. Schultz and Miss Anderson, advertised the event extensively, earning a big turnout. All in all, Ethnocenter 1987 was a success, and everyone involved learned something from the various coun- tries in our world. W-any Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing .. . Pontihcale or Malia? , .

0 To The Beat , 7, 8 ! The 1987 Dance Show, Dance and Shout filled the auditorium with an enthusi- ' ' ' astic audience both nights it was performed. President Monica Kogan, Vice President Julie Karel, Secre- tary Stacy Adelman, GIMA representative Jamie Kanarish and sponsor Ida Greenfield put a lot of time and work into organizing the 39-member Dance Club. The Senior Club con- sisted of experienced dancers Hari Allen and Heather Johnson. Because of the great number of talented dancers, the Pointe Club was created to provide introductions during the show and to dance in various numbers. Instead of the usual emcees, the Pointe Club introduced the dances and appeared in different costumes and poses before each num- ber. The show included ballet, tap, modern, jazz and charac- ter routines to music of all sorts. The dances were choreographed and performed by differ- ent members of the club. The dance performed to the song Beat Boy and choreographed by Hari Allen was performed by the members at an outside engagement. One routine required the aid of Bill Kerstein, Dan Fludolph, Rob Balder and Pete Jones. Kogan, Karel and Adelman danced to the song Runner and were answered by powerful ap- plause. Many of the numbers were unique on their own, but the costumes and exciting special effects made the show even more enjoyable. Overall, the members of the 1987 Dance Club showed that hard work and determination could result in a sensational show. Also, many thanks were given to the technical and stage crews for their time and expertise that helped the creative aspects of the show.
