The Wiz ' Eases On Down the Road! By KARLASHDGWICK Coming home with 18 awards from the State Thespian Convention and getting a nomination to perform at the International Thespian Convention made the final theater presentation in the old auditorium some- thing special. According to Director Craig Chip Munk, The kids and 1 tried to make this show a really, really special one, and I think we succeeded in doing so. Every night at the beginning of a sold out performance the East Noble thespians saluted the 40th anniversary by doing a tribute to all of the plays since 1941. Also, every niglit the cast of The Wiz did an outstanding job and was rewarded by stand- ing ovations. The sliowing on Thursday night was a very impressive one for Fort Wayne ' s Civic and Pit Theatres who visited. People also came from the State Convention to see it again. It really boiled down to us believing in ourselves, as the song says, to make it work, said John Rencher. The little rnunchkins in the land of Oz, ' Beth Robinson. Todd Frymier and Becky Bower, were very startled when they heard the great news about the killing of the wicked witch of the East. (.Above) While the Tinman (John Weeks), the Scarecrow (Brenden Leitch) and Dor- othy (Julie Burke) look on. the Lion (Scott Critchfield) kneels down and prays for courage before meeting the Wizard. .Senior Janice North displays her fantastic dancing ahiUties as the eye of the tornado that takes Dorothy to the land of Oz.

' Prom Night ' By KARLA SEDGWICK I think that the juniors miss half of the fun of the prom because they don ' t work as a group in planning and carrying out the presenting of the prom, express- ed sponsor Sheri Berhalter. Although just a few dedicated juniors helped plan and decorate the prom, it turned out to be one of the most successful in recent years. The theme Stars that Glisten made a great mood along with the gym decorated as a city. It was chosen by the Junior Class and sung by the Allen Brothers Band. (Below) Senior Dawn McGahen is escorted by senior Jim Bozynski through the Grand March. Working all Friday night and Saturday morning for the final preparations, seniors along with juniors finished just hours before the grand march of about 180 couples. Junior Class president Jim McKibben agreed with Mrs. Berhalter and added, I was very proud of being responsible for such a splendid prom, but I hope next year that the upcoming juniors will know how fun and important it is to work together on such an event. (Right) As senior Rhonda Heiison and junior Scott Gallimore parade happily under- neath the gazebo, they are watched by the usual crowds of people. Hard working junior Sheila Smith hangs up stars in the gym for the 1980-81 Junior- Senior Prom. Sheila was a very dedicated worker this vear.
