Toss your troubles to the wind. Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Clark . . . The Spree of’73 As the Colon Concert Band played the traditional Pomp and Circumstance, the 1973 seniors marched into the gym to receive their long-awaited diplomas. While a few seniors held back the tears, Linda War-kentine and Randy Denney presented the seniors' farewell addresses. All the 1973 seniors were blue as they accepted their coveted diplomas, but some were even blue on the inside. Some men see things as they are and say, 'Why?'. I dream things that never were and say, 'Why not?'. (R. Kennedy) It is your world and your dream, Class of '73. Are you going to ask Why? or Why not?

After the disappearance of Norman Carter, the family decided to pool their many talents and create a variety show. Mom kept yelling MORE— more volume, more leaves, more action, more Saturday practices—while Dad kept trying to calm people's nerves and help them learn their songs and lines. After destroying one shop floor with gallons of paint, creating two worms from old boxes and bathing caps, assembling three Christmas trees in the dark, recruiting four new drivers for Mom's car, rescuing five people from the state troopers, decorating six bikini tops for the girls, convincing seven guys they wanted to be on stage, making eight trips to the dressing room for new props, gathering nine bushels of leaves in the cold, and singing ten choruses of I Can Sing a Rainbow, the family left delightful sounds and memories to echo in the gym. Red and yellow, pink and green, purple and orange, and blue... we can sing a rainbow for you. But we can sing the prettiest rainbow, for ours includes the color of love. Family members include first row: Tom Cossairt, Bob Linn, Billy Lederman, Robyn German, Dodi Dobson, Debbie Rench, Kathi Hershey, Sandy Bailey, Liz Rench, Brenda Schwartz, and Pete Fletcher. Second row: TTieresa Rench, Ruth Ann Smith, Billie Jean Ludlow, Fred Bennett, Diane Klein, Sue Walters, Rob Baad, Tom Frisbie, Debbie Vogler, Alice Colpetsir, Mike Hargreave, Director Jan Rhoade, Technical Adviser Rob Hellenga (absent), and many beautiful people who were behind the scenes.
