Eddie Vandergn'ft 7X: Susan Cm? ime out Between planning their summers and preparing for graduationy teachers and students took time out to enjoy the last days of spring. Springtime offered plenty of things to do other than school- work. For the previous months, members of the Drama Club rehearsed for three one act plays. itltls Cold in Them There Hills , llSorry WrOng NumberH, and tiThe Lotteryll, were performed at the school auditorium in early May. Mrs. Gail Ross took an early break from school to give birth to Damen Gehrig Ross, leav- ing fifth period to go directly to the hospital. In early April and again in May, juniors hoped for good scores as they took SATls. Teachers also spent the first Saturday in May administer- ing the tests. A new event called Spring Festival replaced the traditional Fall Festival. Clubs and or- ganizations planned activities to challenge and entertain stu- dents. Scott Renk showed his ta- lent for finding things by con- quering the scavager hunt. The newspaper staff rented a dunking machine and offered anyone who had 25 cents the opportunity to submerge a newspaper staff member. During the Festival, the HHysten'cals played original and pop music. Dan Robinson wore a white T-shirt with HHystericalsl' scrawled across it. Wendy Warren and Melanie Turner had made it and others like it that morning Culture bombarded the school as the art and band classes displayed their talents. Members of the art classes each chose at least three pieces of work to exhibit. Chuck Stanley, a senior sold all but one piece. As spectators wandered among the artwork, the music from the Concert and Symphonic Bands drifted in. The Symphonic Band played uSuite for Band V l1986l written by Melvin Bently, a local substitute teacher. Celebrating the end of the year, the National Honor Society held a picnic pool party at Debbie Bonds house where they gave appreciation gifts to their sponsors, Mrs. Emily Pack and Mrs, Sue Harris. Students used springtime as another outlet for their activi- ties. Juliana Hauser Dunking the dork Karen Ptaschek falls into the water after the contestant hit the knob! The newspaper staff used the dunking machine for the booth at Spring Fes- tival. DaVid Michle 6 TheChaparral Singers along with the Choral en- tertained the school with a three dimensional program. While the Choral sang a medley of songs with an American Theme, the Chaparrals danced to or acted out the songs. Throughout the program, singers would come down to the microphone placed at the front of the stage and quote famous Ameri- cans. Herels how some students viewed the show: Heather Henry, a member of the Chaparrals, commented, uEveryone was nervous about getting up in front of their peers; but I think after the first number, we enjoyed itlll til thought it was all right, you could tell they had practiced a lot for it; but the theme was, well, dif- ferentfl said Karen Simpson. ttFor a small group of people, they made a beautiful sound, enthused Cliff Morgan. uVery enjoyable? replied Melanie Turner. ilYou could tell theyld put forth a lot of effort to make it a success. Beth Steorts felt, itlt was good, but they needed to have more enthusiasm. til though it was good because it was different from the average choir concertf' state Amy Oehlschlaeger. ill felt it was very entertaining, commented Sandy Proax. m Tom Moore Stars and stripes After the visiting committee suggested the school have more assemblies, the choir held a concert for the student body Amy Dowling, David Gelmini, Kirsten Graham, Heather Henry.

balloons. The exhibition hall of the ' Roanoke Civic Center slowly filled with pink, blue, and silver balloons as the Junior Class worked diligently to prepare for the big night ahead. Happy Time Balloons, a divi- sion of Giggle Gramms, helped the decorators by providing the balloons, numbering over two. thousand. Columns of balloons, separated , by long strands of tinsel, hung at the entranceway. The arch which stretched over the stairs consisted of helium balloons so the arch would remain suspended on its own. Strands of balloons stretch- ing across the ceiling were strung on clear fishing wire. This thin, transparent wire became tangled very easily. One group of juniors spent half an hour attempting to untangle a particularly bad snarl. Each of the 80 centerpieces consisted of pink and blue bal- loons and one silver heart of a c worming the exhibition hall for Prom could only be done with He! 1!!

The Stairway to Heaven, or- dered from a prom decorating catalog, arrived only .two days before Prom and cagsed much anguish for the Juniors as they attempted to construct it. This kit contained 75 pieces of flimsy cardboard which seemed practi- cally impossible to assemble. Prom chair-person, Torryea Brewer, discovered the fountain which graced the entraceway a mere two days before Prom. Made of five separate pieces, the fountain had to be assembled and then filled with the right amount of water. Jennifer Allen Stringin ,em up Long stran s of silver tinsel are strung by Deb ie Bono.
