Tanner s Music Man Under the excellent guidance and management of Mrs. Riggin, Meridith Wilson's famous hit, The Music Man, became a reality to many. Af- ter several months of difficult planning, organi- zing and working, the opening night crowd of over 3,000 made it all worthwhile. Over 200 people ranging from seventh grade to twelfth grade were involved in the huge cast. The lead roles of Marian Paroo and Harold Hill went to Cynthia Bettegnies and David Tanner. Two junior high students, Stephanie Gaunt and Danny Moore, received the two Children's leads. Other people and groups, such as the 140 piece Golden Eagle Marching Band strengthened the already enormous cast. Helping to make the musical a success were many oh'-stage crews and commit- tees. Skillful work was applied to prepare cos- tumes, make-up, and scenery on time. After the performance, 150 students attended a party at Cynthia Bettegnies' house. In the library scene, Dave Tanner, far left waits for Cynthia Bettegnies to take interest in him. Kim Riggin, head indian, does her version to 'Wa Tan Ye' with the help ofsome little squaws. Shipoopi! is the cry from the dancers as the spectacle ends in the gym scene. Chatting behind the curtain, band members calm their nerves before appearing in the grand finale. student life-25

During Grand March In the Misty Moonlight set the atmosphere for the Junior-Senior Prom held at the Masonic Temple. The couples entered through an arch of blue streamers as The Count Downs began to play. A fountain was used with the colors of blue and silver to carry out the theme in the ballroom. Seniors Jerry Johnson and Joan Young were announced King and Queeng Juniors Brian Kirk and Pam Klingensmith were chosen as Prince and Princess for the Prom. Continuing the evening's activities Little Big Man was presented at the Delaware Cinema. After the movie, couples danced informally at school where The Joshua was entertaining un- til 6:30 when the Prom ended. Admiring their finished decorations are Jill Vorhees, Greg Selvey, Terry Reynard, and Kaye Carmichael. With the pulsating rhythm of the Joshua, dancing is hard to resist for many. David Berry and Sherry Perkins chat with Pam Kiser and her date between dances during the formal prom. student life-27
