The 29th annual Follies were the best ever. They were full of variety with everything from juggling and chickens to solos and drums. A week of night rehearsals worked up to- ward the matinee on Wednesday afternoon for elementary students and senior citizens. Then a full house for three nights filled the old high school with applause. Warming the hearts of the audi- ence were soloists Sheila Maifield, Charles Layton and Erin Merritt. The Jazz Band and the String Or- chestra made everyone tap their feet with their moving tunes. A Jazz Trio with Michael Geary, Klay DeV- ries, and Anita Ward moved the show along with What Game Shall We Play Today? The Girls Glee made the audience think with The Streets of London. Mike Wiskus and Mike Zimmerman with their guitars sang Dreaming Mike Boender and Klay DeVries sang I Just Want To Be Me. Jeralyn Peterson was patriotic in her tap dance version of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Bits with Martin Quam and Dave Ostmo kept the show moving smoothly. The Follies were indeed the best ever for both the audience and the cast members. YOU AND I - The Mohawk Chorale adds a sad note to the program. SO, THIS IS SHOW BIZ - Choir members find out how much rehearsing it takes to put on a show. g E I Lx L Q 5. 'Yi f we tl . P FDI HZ5: Qnot hzr bucczss Ttilike

a 'XQ- THE LONE RANGER - An unidentified hockey player strives for a goal. MOI-IAWKS ON THE MOVE - Jay Wright and Ron Wagner enjoy the park while skiing during the WINTER WCNDERLQND weekend. Sub zero temperatures, high winds, and blizzarding snows still weren't enough to stop some MCHS students from enjoying the great outdoors this winter. With the help of a few extra sweaters, hot choco- late and Kleenex, fellow classmates decided to brave the cold and do their own thing. A wide variety of activities kept many students busy, the mid win- ter blahs were quite catchy this year. Things such as hockey, ice skating, and snowmobiling played an important role in quite a few stu- dents' weekends. Cross country ski- ing was again an elective in the ju- nior and senior gym classes, and many decided to give it a try. Down- hill skiing also continued to be one of the biggest pastimes of students: whether they hitched a ride with a friend, or signed up for one of the school-sponsored trips to Afton Alps. All in all, the winter months wer- en't quite as dull and boring as most had predicted, The activities that were available gave MCHS students a chance to try their wings in dif- ferent areas and beat those mid winter blahs once and for all.
