,swf The Lovers, Trai Dreamers, and e The Rainbow Connection was a cho- sen group of students who traveled to various convalescent homes in the Los Angeles area performing for residents. The show was a combination of cheery music, and lively dance routine, per- formed with electricity and profession- alism. They worked long hours perfecting their performance, and it definitely showed. During assembly periods on Wednesdays, whether sun or sleet or hail, the Rainbow clan departed wear- ing T-shirts with their names on the front, each a different shade of the rain- bow. Similar to the merging of thier shirts, the voices of the Rainbow Connection create a beautiful picture that bright- ened the days of convalescent residents. ev ! ,A W .
