Over 150 students boogied to alternating tunes of rock, country, disco, and punk. At various points of the evening, door prizes were distributed to the winners. Even though we didn't make as much money as we wanted to, related Billingsley, 'fthe dance was a success in the sense that we think everyone had a good time. The club missed its S1000 goal by 5200. The money was utilized primarily to furnish additional materials for the weight room. The left over funds was used for other activities such as the Pancake Breakfast and Chili Supper. The organization also raised money for its activities by selling programs at the Varsity Football Games. Billingsley was in charge of organizing the advertisement space and planning the content of the publication, which featured individual portraits of the players. Others included within the pages were cheerleaders, Cardettes, Marching Band, and class officers. The Booster Club is an important part of MacArthur's winning spirit, explained Billingsley. The sports program depends on many things such as players, coaches, and spectators. Spirit is also important, because it is contagious to the players.

X8 Villllarftrn Hiceccceiivces ooo, Pcojpcccotfnm Performing a play form rare to MacArthur audiences, the Drama Club staged the melodrama Lily, the Felon's Daughter on the evenings of September 17, 18, and 19 in the North Cafeteria. With only 17 days to prepare the production, Director Charlotte English chose the melodrama for its simple, yet unique form. Casting was completed two weeks before the first day of school. Major characters were Ginger Finney as the heroine Lily Fairweather, Kenny Rudolph as the hero Compton Fairweather, and Paul Watts as the villain Craven Sinclair. Lea Ann Bray, Mike Hill, Ronnie Jones, Brian Rayburn, Tiffany Riley, and Debbie Capps provided additional entertainment with a song and dance routine during the intermission. The audience participated in the presentation by booing, hissing, and hurling popcorn kernals upon the entrance of the villain. The popcorn was provided by the ushers along with a handkerchief to cry in. Stage hands furnished encouragement by holding up cards indicating the appropriate response for the action. i'We had excellent audience response, commented English. As a result of our success, two other high schools in the area are planning to produce melodramasf' The play had twist from the usual good versus evil theme as the hero was not as virtuous as most heros are characterized. Despite his uncontrollable gambling compulsion, he managed to redeem himself and save the day.
