 TRIBUTE TO THE GREATS February 3rd, 4th, and 5th brought in an annual event in a “Tribute to the Greats” at the legendary Central High Variety Show. Students performed well known classics of famous stars. Doug Stef fenson, adorned in a black tie and tails, performed his role as the master of cere- monies, cracking his script of off-beat jokes. The Acappella choir opened the show with a medley, “Gershwin and Porter on Love”. Band members par- ticipating in the trumpet, trombone, tuba, french horn, and percussion lines wore everything from cat tails to jean-jackets and sunglasses. The Central Singers kept the show moving with their assort- ment of well choreo- graphed song and dance routines. Solo acts included Jim Col- lins singing Lionel Richie’s Truly,” Memory” taken from the musical “Cats” and sung by Toi Anderson, as well as Chicago’s Hard to Say I’m Sorry” sung by Beth Nuetzmann. The Innocents, Central’s own rock band not dressed the part but created the re- action of a professional band. I was really Im- pressed by the Innocents, especially since it was their own material. While the band played I felt as if I was witnessing a begin- ning of a future super group.” stated Greg Rohlf. The orchestra’s part in the show was terriffic. Mr. Ab- planalp wrote and ar- ranged all of the orches- tra’s music to back up the solo acts. I believe the or- chestra made a big differ- ence In the show this year. Mr. A. was a great asset,” commented Junior, Yvonne Vikdal. So with one final salute to the greats the members of the 1983 Variety Show ad- ded their names to the list. WITH A GLOW IN HIS EYES.

We all relate certain songs, restau- rants, and world problems to our high school years. 1982-83 brought around the usual trends that will stand out in our minds as the years pass. Perhaps it’s “a little ditty ’bout Jack and Diane” that we’ll remember lls- ------------------------------- WHAT ARE MAJOR ISSUES? Arms Race Unemployment Economy THE WORLD - What's happening to It?
