WE'VE GOT TONIGHT The following is a true story. It re- counts dialogue between three bal- loons. Yes. balloons. The Yearbook Psychic Phenomena Investigative Re- porting Team captured on tape this amazing sequence on February 4th, at Spree, using their multi-minion dollar snooping equipment. The characters in this up until now unknown phenom- ena — talking balloons. — are Bob. Bill, and Bernice Balloon. The miracu- lous conversation begins ... Bob: What do you think? Bill: Here we are at Central's girl ask boy dance, and Bernice didn't even ask anybody! Bernice: you guys know how hard it is for me to find a dress that fits. Bob: Well, somebody did. More tickets were sold to the dance. “We've Got Tonight , than in years past. Bernice: Doesn't the gym look posi- tively magical? Bill: Indeed it does. Decorated in hues of transcluent and powder blue and white; the already ele- gant gym has been transformed into a haven for the young lovers of CHS. Bernice: Who:‘s the guy with the crown? Bill: Gary Couch — Spree King for 1984. Nice tux. Huh? Bob: You bet! Bill: Hold on, what's this chick doing? Bernice: Looks like we're taking off. Bob: You don't think we're going to party, do you? Bernice: No. These are good lads. Brtl: Party!!! Bob: I'm with him!! That is when we lost contact. You may pass this off as another Russian talking elephant hoax, but we've got all this on tape in Blackhawk Year- book data center in D.C. Almost ev- eryone agreed it was an unbeliev- ably fun night. Not only that, but we also showed a couple of balloons a real good time. ScocfaY r ro c « Ptnto: K ScoSxer , y schooi-

THE SPOTLIGHT The long lines of people were all seat- ed. only a few empty seats re- mained. the clock showed it was post time for the show to begin and then, the house lights went dim and the spotlight went on, beginning this years fast paced edition of the annu- al Central High Variety Show. To begin the show, held on February 9, 10. and 11 the spotlight was on Masters of Ceremony Andy Hampe and Mike Shetler, The witty pair of seniors entertained the audience be- tween performances with a self-writ- ten script. They gave some unique uses of the megaphone Mr. Bullhorn. You can use it at your favorite res- taurant's drive through to ask. “Where's the beef?', or in the Central Cafeteria to ask. “Where's the pro- cessed soybean pattie? ' For the first act. the spotlight shifted to members of the Show Choir, danc- ing in the aisles. They performed this year's theme song, ’“Get Up. You guys, that was the best audience, they are screaming! Show Choir member Jill Fitzpatrick expressed to fellow members. From then on, the show was in full swing. The spot light lit up the bands Max Stout, and Steel Shot, who couldn't perform on Saturday be- cause two of the members attended another school. Show Choir and a Cappella's sequined sweatshirts gave a bright, flashy addition to their singing. The tuba line gave its rendition of the popular Working in a Coal Mine by Devo. Jay Justin led the dancing and singing of the recent Curly Shuffle , and the orchestra pretended to shoot Tom Kamp, Jennifer Duitsman, and Sarah Murphy after their humorous kazoo playing. Midway through the show, when the spotlight went on the Fkxxlords. the audience greeted them with loud cheers and applause. The audience listened and watched the quick- moving acrobatic new craze, rap- ping and breaking, the most electrify- ing act according to many students. Ending on the same high note they began on. a Cappella. Show Choir, and Jazz Band performed the last act. The audience got up for the last time and the spotlight was shut down.
