SWEETHEART

Page 26 text:

Cupid's arrow struck the hearts of couples as they entered the gym for an evening of fun and dancing at the annual Sweetheart Dance. As the eve reached its climax, all minds focused on the pink and red royal throne from which the next Sweetheart king and queen would reign. Tension mounted during introductions of the royal court. Cries like good luck Snore and let's go Polish Cannon were heard as class peers cheered on their regal favorite. Applause smothered the room as Jeff Elia and Diane Jack- son were crowned nobility for the night. A slow playing song closed the dance with the words I won't forget tonight reflecting the thoughts of those who would remember this night for years to come. CHRISTMAS Friends, family, and students are brought togeth- er as the world universally celebrates Christmas. Spirit filled halls brought cheerful smiles to many while warmly expressed thoughts told all the yule tide season was near. The school began to buzz with rushed tests to beat the vacation; students and teachers scurried about delivering last minute presents and cards. Dumploads of snow motivated snowball fights and immobile cars. Singers, dancers, and Mrs. Santa Claus were all part of the Student Council's annual Christmas talent show. As time moved in a quickened pace, the clocks ticked away this joyous season. The sparkling light and pleasant glow of the Christ- mas tree was suddenly ended as the decorations were put away for another year. Christmas was filled with warmth and good cheer as many at school remembered another joyful year. 1.

Twelve Anerv lurors. by Reginald Rose, in- volves the preceedings of twelve jurors deciding the fate of a young man accused of killing his father. As the production opens, it becomes ap- parent that the members of the jury' are confi- dent that it will be an open and shut case. An- gered and shocked by one defiant juror, played by Kim Kleemyer, sides are quickly chosen among those voting guilty or not guilty. The action revolves around Kleemyer and an- other juror, Dianne Unkrich, who compete for the support of their peers while deciding on a verdict. The jurors appear depressed while they change their minds back and forth from guilty to innocent as Kleemyer and Unkrich present their cases. Unkrich pleads for support, but to no avail; she decides to give in as the play closes. The drama touched on a number of issues de- bated in today's society. Because of this serious tone, performers had to study their scripts thor- oughly to obtain depth in meaning and under- standing of character. 1. To the horror of other jury members, Dianne Unkrich, juror 3, demonstrates the correct switchblade procedure to use with Kim Kleemeyer (it 8) as her victim. 2. Stephanie Wells gives her opinion of the case to fellow jurors before discussion begins. X I'm going to kill you! bellows juror 4, Bill Craber, as he and Bob Curney, juror 12, attempt to reconstruct the mur- der. 4. Try-outs are a tedious part of a production, and the con- centration and weariness show on everyone's face. 5. Juror 8, Kim Kleemeyer, makes another point in her favor as she discloses a new piece of evidence. 6. This window, which created a problem is set design, also created a focal point onstage for several decision-torn jurors. Director Dennis M. Doyle Assistant to the Director Nancy A.
