Come To The Cabaret Come to the Cabaret was the inviting song which Chris McNamara sang to open the show. Everyone seemed to be having a spectacular evening. Terri Landen adds, The acts were really good, and the Caba- ret was well worth attending. The John Adams students who participated in the Cabaret displayed a wide variety of talent. Jocelyn Kapsa played the piano and sang Amy Grant ' s Everywhere I Go. Fresh- man Kasi Bolden did an excellent job sing- ing Barbara Streisand ' s Evergreen. A few other vocalists sang songs from major broadway productions such as The Wiz and Fame. Rappin ' became a brand new fad in 1985. The CIA Crue, cons isting of Alfonzo Richmond, Chris Wilson, and Brian Mi Ion ' , rapped to a tune called The Game of Life. The show also consisted of two bands made of talented Adams ' musi- cians. The group. Paisley Death, sang Stacey Slabaugh sings and dances to a routine A which she choreographed herself. Jason and the Argonauts perform Chuck Berry ' s Johnny B. Goode. Ava Hall and Diana Grundy catch the audience ' s eye with a bit of humor and their dazzling attire. Mary Had a Little Lamb and Jason and the Argonauts performed Chuck Berry ' s Johnny B. Goode. Freshman Julie Tay- lor choreographed and performed a mod- ern dance to Whitney Houston ' s hot new single How Will I Know. Ava Hall knocked them dead with her performance of Out Here On My Own. Tony Wilson commented, The show was a hit, but the mistresses of ceremony, Diana Grundy and Ava Hall really added some finishing touches. Senior Andrea Darden closed out the show singing Home from The Wiz. The J.A.H.S. Cultural Awareness Society, sponsored by Mrs. Linda Murphy, de- served to be commended for preparing such a fine show. Jocelyn Kapsa plays the piano and sings Amy Grant ' s Everywhere I Go. ' 26 Cabaret

Participation Earns Recognition Should all extra-curricular participants receive awards such as sweaters and chev- rons like athletes are awarded? This year John Adams answered that question quite plainly — yes. Counselor Rosalind Ellison worked with several other faculty mem- bers to start an awards program for al extra-curricular participants. Having made selective restrictions, all recipients had to meet certain standards before they received a monogram or chevron. April 15, 1986, was the big night. The program honored the following extra-curricular ac- tivities: Band, Choir, Debate, Drama, Or- chestra, Quiz Bowl, Footprints, National Honor Society, Publications, Student Government, Ushers ' Club, and Scholar- ship for those students with a G.P.A. above 3.6. Mr. Przybysz stated during the program, this is great; this will definitely be an annual project. The program was a hit and everyone was excited about the idea. Ann Belts, Sue Hobing, Sarah Greene, and Bran- don Hudson are pleased to receive their scholar- a ship chevrons. Awards 27
