1 (ason Smith tells us what it's like Puttin' on the Ritz. 2 All students, past and present, can reminisce as Amy Shatzer tells about the joys and sorrows of having a locker with your very own key. 3 Debbie Speed continues her brother's tradition by supplying the beat for the Swing Show. 4 After many hours of practicing Lonely Dancer , Julie Hansen's fingers move almost automatically over the keyboard. 2 That's When The Music Takes Me showed on the nights of November 4th and 5th; but between the first day of school and those nights, the many members of the music department worked long hours to make the show the success it was. On September 29th, 36 acts tried out, out of which 13 made the show. Several students went shopping with Mrs. Nichols and Miss Hulse to decide the patterns and colors of the Swing Choir outfits. The Swing Show colors were purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Miss Hulse, Mrs. Nichols, and Mr. Johnson, the assistant director, wore aqua. Mr. Johnson, a student teacher from Wartburg, helped immensely in teaching the Swing Choir, among other things, their choreography. During one practice everyone had a bad scare when Bonita Speed fell and slightly sprained her ankle. Kris Schulte and Susan Brockman, the show's M.C.'s, worked hard to give their lines the right connotations. 10 Swing Show
