Walloons, clowns color Carnival v 22 “Wow! This is strange! It i really feels like I’m floating in space. I think I ' ll go buy some more tickets so I can go on the Moon Walk again!” The Moon Walk, sponsored by the juniors, was a favorite which returned again this year at the annual Carnival held in the fieldhouse. Besides the Moon Walk, other games from the past :■ years were enjoyed by people of all ages. These booths in- cluded Project Biology’s Gold Fish Toss, the Freshmen Class’ Pie-Throwing Booth, Marching Band’s Basketball Throw, and Paragon ' s Pick-A-Pop. I Some new attractions that were added were Rifle Corps ' Feed the Shark, and the Kiss- ing Booth. The shark game was played by throwing bean bags into the jaws of a shark and it mainly appealed to the 1 children. The Kissing Booth at- ; traded all the eager kissers. For two tickets anyone could kiss whoever was in the booth. All together 1 8 booths were set up inside the fieldhouse. To promote the Carnival to the younger children, senior girls, dressed as clowns, invited all elementary students to attend by visiting their schools. Admission was 25 cents at the door. Carnival goers could then purchase tickets for 15 cents each or two for a quarter. Most games could be played for one or two tickets, but some clubs charged more, hoping to make a bigger profit. The Carnival, co-sponsored by the Junior and Senior Classes grossed approximately i $1,000, which was divided among the groups according to how much their individual booths made. The Junior Class showed the greatest profit booth-wise, while the seniors accumulated the most money by charging admission and sponsoring two concession stands. Carnival

Sinister atmosphere enhances set X 24 Mysterious bodies, secret passageways, and hidden trea- sures are some of the key in- gredients to a good detective story. Add a touch of light- hearted humor and sarcasm and you have a show that both old and young will enjoy. Suspense and intrigue set the scene as the curtains parted on Feb. 23 and 24, re- vealing Drama Club ' s spring production, “Exit the Body.” Because the revived musi- cal was scheduled for June, the play was presented earlier than in previous years. To pro- vide for the time change, prac- tices began right after Christ- mas and continued each day after school until performance nights. Two dress rehearsals took place on Monday and Tuesday; however, complete make-up was only used on Monday, since the actors were experiencing skin irritations from the grease paint. A cast of ten members, along with the help of stage crews and director Mrs. Renee Kouris, presented the mystery. The plot revolved around the mysterious whereabouts of stolen diamonds. Each of the various characters searched all over the mystery writer’s (ju- nior Marianne Lanman’s) vaca- tion home to find the jewels and claim them as his own. Much to their surprise, the searchers found that all along, the real estate agent, junior Dalia Sidabras, had the jewels stashed in the ice cube tray. According to instructor Mrs. Renee Kouris, the play went well. The audience re- sponse was great; the specta- tors appeared to be enjoying themselves. Mrs. Kouris felt that there was a great turnout and she hopes it will go as well next year. RIGHT: FIRED UP.
