Stage offers Bellmonters opporfunities fo creafe, break from scliool routine Playing the part of audience, sponsor, or per- former, students went beyond the classroom to the realm of the stage for education and entertain- ment. Abe Lincoln appeared at an October assembly with Mr. Dick Blake taking the role of the famous storyteller and politician. Using minimal props, Mr. Blake recreated Lincoln through his recorded works. Later in the fall, Mr. Greg Jacobs, three-time winner of the United States Spaceball champion- ship, exhibited his skills on the trampoline after selecting spectators to oppose him. In order to raise money for uniforms, the Band sponsored the jazz-rock group Chase to per- form in the auditorium. Speech, band, choir, and art students utilized their talent to create Christmas and winter pro- grams and to entertain the openhouse audience.

Carnival raises money needed to complete goal to purcliase Band uniforms Would you like to buy a pen? It ' s unbreokable, has a fine point, and lasts forever! Stomping through rain, going from locker to locker, and sometimes performing silly acrobatic stunts made raising money for the club treasury one activity that involved the help of every mem- ber, sponsor, and student alike. From stationery to candy to popcorn, every legitimate source of revenue imaginable was used to increase the digits in the treasurer ' s accounting books. The members learned to share responsibili- ties, and to make the wheels of the organization turn successfully as the year progressed. Above right: German Club members Kathy Reinking, senior, and Amy Brune, junior, try to sell club stationery to Kathy Schultz, sen- ior, as other students admire their new purchases. Above: Ann Burke, senior, tries to persuade Brad Schrock, senior, to come to the National Honor Society dance. Right: Students and adults alike enjoy playing bingo at the Band ' s May carnival.
