Move over Prince Charles and Lady Di, we Our Own Royal Couple “All please rise to greet the King and Queen Fool”. . .Science Club President Scott Webster’s voice brought the entire lunchroom to its feet on April 1st as he announced the escorted arrival of the first annual royal couple. Selected by the student body, King Fool Chris Holmes and Queen Fool Mary Ann McDermott were fitted with Royal Fool Collars, and then dined in splendor at a candlelight table in the midst of the cafeteria, with strolling musicians providing atmosphere. Waited on hand and foot by senior Science Club members, the royalty dined on a complete seven course meal, beginning with Jello and Wheat Thins and finishing off with a grand finale of banana splits and a special “Dance of the Fools”, much to the delight of the watching student body. “The most bizarre characteristic of this school?; some of the activities, like King and Queen Fool.” -Christina Jett-Soph 10 People

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
