Mistletoe, Vespers highlight activities of winter months Winter was accepted at Mishawaka High School, as elsewhere, with different reactions from everybody. From some there was only apathy. Others reacted with emotions ranging from complete hate to a love expressed on the ski slopes or on the Mishawaka sledding hills. Winter brought the annual Misteletoe Ball with its beautiful formals, distinguished tuxedoes, and expen- sive dinners. Winter also brought the yearly Vespers program after a week of stretched vocal cords and arms tired from being held in one position in a tableau. Christmas brought joy to many after a trip to the neighborhood Santa Claus, and to others after an evening spent in worship, celebrating Christmas in their own way. Winter, however, was not received with joy by all. Those who were faced with a two-mile hike every morning and afternoon to and from school despised the slippery sidewalks and knee-high snow drifts. Winter brought stalled cars, clumsy boots, and frost- bitten noses seemingly only to those who hate snow. Winter brought all these things, and was received with joy by some, with sorrow by others. For some it was a time of awakening, for others a time of hiber- nating, waiting for spring and their awakening.

uF (helm) stworter ad ao fint otuet re Lee Chelminiak, i Chris Dare star in ‘Music Man’ Harold Hill entertained the MHS audiences in March in the all-school musical THE MUSIC MAN. Chris Dare captured the lead and Lee Chelminiak played Marian. The story of a corrupt salesman who falls in love with a virtuous librarian, MUSIC MAN was and is a play that the classes will remember. Mrs. Paroo (Jill Nevel) sees her son Winthrop (Lou Mihajlovich Jr.) come out of his shell as he sings ‘Gary, Indiana’’. Harold’s sidekick Marcellus (Frank Portolese) warns him that Mayor Shinn (Scott Fore) has discovered his fraud. In his haste to escape, Hill gets caught talking to Tommy and Zaneeta (Vince Floridia and Amy Lotz), but all is not lost. The River City Band ends the play with the Minuet in G, afterwards going into a resounding chorus of ‘’Seventy-Six Trombones.” LEE CHELMINIAK LISTENS as Lou Mihajlovich, her little brother, expresses pleasure at the prospect of joining the boys’ band. FOREIGN STUDENTS Matty Gonzalez and Ana Maria De La Vega addressed the students during Spirit Week. 28—Student Life
