Dancing to the tunes of the disk jock- ey are Mr and Mrs. Polidori.The chaperones took the oppurtunity to dance to the slow songs. Mission Club Finale During February, the mission club sponsored the annual Sweetheart Dance. One girl from each homeroom was nomi- nated as a candidate for Sweetheart Queen and was required to sell goodies for the missions. The girl who made the most in each grade became one of four finalists. The four finalists were: leanine Levy, janice Canavan, julie Majeske and Shannon Ponto. Of these four girls, one of them would be crowned Sweetheart Queen at the dance. On the night of the dance, the crowd danced to soft mu- sic in the dimly-lit gym, anx- iously awaiting the announce- ment of who would be crowned queen. One by one, the candidates were escorted to the heart- covered platform. Finally, the moment arrived; The 1986 Sweetheart Queen is senior, leanine Levy! boomed the an- nouncer. With flashbulbs popping in their faces, last year's queen, Lisa Hamway, gave up her crown and cape to a smiling leanine. She received the honors, but the real winner was the Mission Club. O by N. Horvath 18 Sweetheart Dance

Watch as Darlene Zweng transforms into the character Mrs. Harcourt.

America All ashore who's going ashore! Pull in the gangplank and start up the engines. Get ready to go full steam ahead on the funniest, craziest, wildest cruise of a lifetime! An immense luxury ocean liner, the S.S. America, was the setting for the action-packed spring musical-comedy, “Anything Goes. The story centered around Billy Crocker, played by )im Roggenbeck, who ran into a past love, Hope, played by Kirstin Lurtz, while seeing off his boss, E.J. Whitney (Jeff Jamison), on a cruise. Problems arose as Hope's mother, Mrs. Harcourt (Darlene Zweng), arranged a marriage between Hope and the stuffy Sir Evelyn (Mike Starosciak.) During the voyage, Billy came across a long-time friend, celebrity Reeno Swe ney (Chris Toth), and public enemy number 13, Moonface Martin (Chris McParlan). These two, along with Moonface's girlfriend, Bonnie (Becky Lennon), helped disguise Billy through hilarious situations so he could hide on board and win Hope's heart back. In the end, Sir Evelyn and Reeno fell in love, and Billy and Hope got back together. Much hard work and dedication went on behind the scenes to produce a play which received tremendous reviews. Kirstin Lurtz expressed her excitement over her first leading role: It's amazing how many new friends I made and the unity that formed between the leads in the show! Though the ship is docked, now, and the play is long over, the laughter and fun won't be soon forgotten by the audi- ences, crews and cast. It was an opportunity for new- exper- iences and gave all a chance to hang loose and let anything go! □ by B. Lennon 20 Spring Musical
