Filxl EVENING Cl' Qt5bTllXlf'lCY Seniors Gain Victory In Donkey B-ball 1979 marked the return of Donkey Basketball to Lindbergh High School. On March 23rd, parents and students filled Gym Ill to cheer on their favor- ite teams. Freshmen and sophomores battled for two action-filled periods for the underclassmen championship. The freshmen emerged victorious and advanced to the finals. The second game matched enthusiastic juniors against a mighty senior team. A tie score took the game into over- time with the seniors winning on some question- able plays. In the final game, the seniors beat the freshmen by only a few points. The best part of Donkey Basketball, however, was watching the players trying to stay on those stub- born animals. The animals were very difficult to ride, but players found it even harder to get back on. Senior Steve Foppe made an unusual play from the sidelines which proved to be the winning basket for his team. Seniors yelled and cheered to show their support and excitement. Students exhibited their class spirit and enjoyed the com- edy of the game throughout the evening. 1. Struggling riders find out that getting on the don- keys is a breeze: staying on is the real trial! 2. Brian Will clutches to the ball as an obstinate donkey struggles to prevent him from scoring. 3. Jean Bornholdt and Cheri Correll show their sen- ior spirit as they cheer their team on to victory. 4. With little help from their stubborn assistants, players work to rack up points for their teams.

.... DQGlJFlTCl'l DFW5 Lil' Abner Sparks Enthusiasm As a sell-out crowd filled Gym I on the windy night of March lst, the suspense to witness Lindbergh's first musical in many years mounted. The lights were dimmed, the overture was played, and the opening night of Lil' Abner was under way. The curtain parted, and the audience began to enjoy the humorous roles portrayed by a cast of over one hundred. The lead parts included the talent of Curt Meyer as Abner, Lisa Amen as Daisy Mae, Mike Hei- mos as Marryin' Sam, Matt Bewitt as Pappy Yokum, Jean Bornholdt as Mammy Yokum, and Steve Foppe as Earthquake McGoon. Under the excellent direc- tion of Mr. Bye and Ms. Peppers, the acting and vocal music coordinated beautifully. Mrs. Chow also directed top orchestra and band members to accen- tuate the musical aspect of the show. By involving more students than any other drama activity and arousing the interest of the whole school, Lil' Abner proved successful in three perfor- mances and re-established a forgotten LHS musical tradition. 1 A T , . 1 1 Q E fx luq-A A L,-J' n L...lv 1 ,IK J .37 1.
