Two days prior to the event, students could be seen coordinating pivot turns, finalizing alterations on clothing and diligently constructing a runway which was thoroughly decorated with tissue flowers and streamers. On Friday evening, parents, siblings and friends relaxed and enjoyed viewing the Home-Ec. Department’s fruits of labor. Under the insistant white glare of the spotlight, models gracefully displayed their accomplishments. Each garment was described through the narrations of Beth Hartzell and Jennifer Reuling.

The Electric Sunshine Man Fid Murphy, Kelly Dunn, Dawn Franks, Kelly Hamilton and Angie Pearl giggle during a scene. Keri Kenney, Kelly Flanagan and Kelly Dunn meet the new challenges of choreography. Dreams in Action He was a genius, a pioneer and held a reputation as a “young wonder.” He dedicated his life to testing, improving and inventing useful products. The popular press hailed him as a “magician” and “wizard”. He learned eagerly by asking questions and discovering things. In short, Thomas Alva Edison was a dreamer who brought his dreams to life. He and his achievements were also the theme of the junior high musical production “The Electric Sunshine Man.” Under the expert direction of Mrs. Barb McSpadden, musical dreams and dramatic horizons were opened for the first time to seventh and eighth graders. Weeks were spent rehearsing chorus line routines, memorizing lines and of course perfecting the astounding vocal talent which was so evident in the final production. Assisting Barb McSpadden were Miss Doreen Lee-choreography and Mr. J. P. Harmom-Set Design. These three devoted teachers spent exhaustive hours encouraging, cultivating and coaching an eager and enthusiastic troupe of young vocalists. The final production was a smashing hit for the junior high and their attending audience. Matthew Crawford hams it up as Thomas Edison. People 9
