Wonderland By Night”, Enchanting With a jolly “Ho, ho, ho!”, Santa Claus (Hal Smalley) arrived earlier than expected this year, and presided as master of ceremonies at the annual Senior Ball.

The highlight of the even¬ ing was the crowning of Princess Diana Lund, by Robert Moherg, senior class president. Other princesses were Colleen Grogan. Jan Jermann, Kris Johnson, and Lorraine Thomas. The even¬ ing’s entertainment was provided by dancers from the Jeannie Maddox studio, and by seniors Karen Phillips and Steve Larson, who sang in honor of the court.

ANTIGONE, a Greek Tragedy, Is a First for Astoria Sentry (Dennis Goin) (center), brings Antigone (Gayle Frame) before Creon, (Steve Larson). A unique feature of Antigone was the chorus, who spoke to Creon as repre¬ sentatives of the people. To set the mood, a Grecian dance is performed for the audiences, before the play. Other main characters in the play, are S. Josephson, (seated), first row, (1 to r), D. Nopson, J. Jensen, P. Hawkins, N. Larson, and S. Soderberg: second row, (I to r), R. Cunningham, S. McSwain, J. Single- ton, and C. Chase. Not pictured are K. Wheeler. A. Cellars, and L. Barrows. Should she obey human law or divine law is the dramatic question which plagues Anti¬ gone (Gayle Frame), in the title role of the Greek tragedy by Sophocles, as she struggles against the edict of King Creon (Steve Larson). This student body play, a first in Greek dramas for A.H.S. was a theatre-in-the-round production. Directed by Mrs. Louann Schafer and Mr. Russell Alborn, its proceeds were given to the junior class since it took the place of the junior class play.
