Winter and Spring themes create Snow, pine cones, and greenery were used to create a wintry atmosphere for the Christmas Dance. The dance was held on December 11, and as usual was sponsored by GAA. The theme “Misty Colored Miracles” was enhanced by an old-fashioned sleigh surrounded by snow. Each table was decorated with pine cones and greenery on angel hair, with a candle in the center. The band, “Faith”, provided the music. Stopping by from the North Pole, Santa Claus made a short visit to pass Out some candy. Diane Callahan, a junior, was crowned queen at the annual Hi-Y Dance held on April 2. She was escorted by Doug Brown. The court consisted of Kay Rei- ckers, escorted by Chuck Conrad; Mich- elle Cartwright, escorted by Mark Nor- man; Julia Stuckwisch, escorted by Mike Persinger; and Laurie Hess escorted by Jeff Younger. To be eligible for the queen or court the girls had to attend the dance with a senior Hi-Y member. Couples enjoyed the music provided by “Hot Ice”. Keeping the Easter season in mind, each table had a centerpiece of imitation grass and assorted candy eggs. TOP: Sitting out a dance at the Hi-Y Dance are Penny Gilbert and Jeff Robison.

The musical was presented on March 17 and 18 under the direction of Miss Jan Schleter, first-year choral di- rector. The student assistant was Anna Marie Dickison.

The plot was based on the marriages of the three el- dest daughters of the family who broke Jewish tradition to make their matches in their own fashion and with their own choices. The climax of the story was the finale when the people were driven out of their village because of the Russian Revolution.
