Saturday night, March 13th, many of the Richwoods students let their imaginations take them back in time. Couples dressed from the cave man days, to the roaring twenties, the 50's, and even up to the spirit of '76. Not only was it a night to let everyone's wasted imaginations roll, but a time for eight senior guys to prove their masculinity (HA) by running for vice-versa king. Herman Thun, dressed as a Navy of- ficer was crowned king for 1976. Herman was escorted by Debbie HaetT and Lisa Schmidt. The music was provided by ABB PLUS which seemed to keep things moving. Down through the ages, a dance for everyone to let loose and ex- perience any decade that pleased them. It was a great opportunity for everyone to notice how fast time flics . o o 3 Through The Ages Joel (Grigs) Grisby escorted by Carrie Jim (Jimmy Ho) Hohstadt escorted by Susan Mehl and Mary Obrien.

The weekend of November 21-23 brought nervous an- ticipation to those in the cast of Our Town. The story was set in Grovers Corner, New Hampshire. It evolved around the events of two families, The Webb's and the Gibb's, and their friends, in the communuy. Emily Webb (Debbie McCarty) and George Tibbs (Tom Teak) are playmates who grow up together and even- tually get married. Emily dies in the childbirth of their second child. The grave scene proved both haunting and beautiful. There were no props used. The cast did a beautiful job of pantomiming. As a whole, the play was well done and quite an experience for all that were able to see it. The cast rehearsed for about seven weeks under the di- rection of Mr. Steve Peters. All those nights of a lit- tle less sleep than usual and those dinners which were literally thrown down your face seemed worth it the night of the actual performance. Before going on stage Dave Meyers rids himself of stage fright. In the cemetery scene Julie Fraser looks dead to the world. 33
