Fall Activities Veins of intrigue pump throughout ‘Ponder Heart Molasses like drawls echoes from the Mavahi stage when the Junior Class presented “The Ponder Heart ’ a com¬ edy set in the deep South. The naive generosity of Daniel Ponder and the innocent delight in ice cream cones and electrical appliances of Bonnie Dee captured the hearts of audiences in mid-November. A rope swing which swung precariously from a large oak tree, the Beulah Hotel, and a truck full of screaming children were staging highlights of the production. Spinning figures, stocking feet, blar¬ ing music, staring chaperones . . . Se¬ nior Prom. The Class of 70 dedicated its fall energies to a semi-formal dance. Paper ’70 ' s, a red and white color scheme, and music by The Royal Kings provided the background for Seniors and their dates. December. . . candy canes, mistletoe, Santa Claus . . . Christmas. The cafe¬ teria took on a festive air with white table cloths and red and green center¬ pieces. Mistletoe was on sale for eager boys and hopeful girls during a sock hop held in the gym. The jolly man with the white beard and red sack made his annual appearance during the Christmas assembly. Bulletin boards, blinking lights, and the smell of ever¬ green further served to enhance Mavahi with the holiday spirit.
