 My Lucky Star Shines on Homecoming ’84 tudents who attended Homecom- ing ’84 were glittering and flashing across the floor as they danced the night away. The dance, held in Bloom's cafeteria which was beautifully decorat- ed by the Student Council, featured music by the Shaun Christopher Band. As the night began, couples lined up to have their pictures taken so that the memory of this evening could be preserved. The dancing couples on the floor could not hide the fact that there was tension in the air as the members of the 1984 Homecoming Court gathered anxiously to find out who would wear the crown for the current year. The crowd became silent, awaiting the announce- ment of the Homecoming Queen. Then came a moment of disbelief, followed by sheer delight as Gina Falcioni rose to accept the honor of being chosen Bloom's Homecoming Queen of 1984. ABOVE.

Trip to the Orient Teahouse of the August Moon Shines lot of people think that high school plays are a waste of time, and this is often proven by the number of people in the audience. On November I, 2, and 3 Bloom’s drama department performed the play, The Teahouse of the August Moon by John Patrick, before an audience in the Workman Auditorium made up of a few faithful senior citizens, parents and relatives, and some students. The quality of appreciation made up for the lack of numbers at the ticket window. The cast and crew were the big winners because of their long work and patience. The play centers around Captain Fisby and Sakini, his interpreter, played by Paul Stovall and Troy Moore, re- spectively. They are trying to help an Okinawan village recover from the war, using a manual which does not apply as well in practice as it does in theory. The local geisha, Lotus Blossom, played by Yolanda Androzzo, and Captain Fisby's boss, Col. Purdy, played by Tom Burkholder, provided the ever-present conflicts between east and west cultures in the play. Other main characters in the play included Beth Hamlin as McClain and Kevin Campbell as Sgt. Gregovitch. The directors of the play were Mr. Reimler and Miss Newkirk, and the technical advisor was Ms. Okoniewski. The stage manager was John Nieberle.
