School activities Students enjoy dances with good friends During the course of the school year, many groups and organizations sponsored dances. Whether or not they were out on the dance floor, many students enjoyed attending these dances. I usually attend dances whenever there is one because a lot of my friends are there and I usually have a lot of fun, said Sophomore Kari Potterf. Most dances were sponsored by a class or one of the organizations at school. Students were usually charged anywhere from $1.00 to $3.00, depending on the oc- casion. Music for the dances was provided either by a Dj, or sometimes there was live music. Junior Shawn Prosser said, I'd rather listen to live music, because when you listen to a DJ, all he does is play records or tapes and that bores me. I like listening to them sing. Many students preferred listening to up-to-date music with a faster beat that was easy to dance to, while others enjoyed dancing to the music of the slow tunes. Many students liked to attend dances with a date. Others liked to get together and go with their friends. I like to go to dances with my friends, said Sophomore Aaron Tilton, because I have more fun. Sophomore Steve Schievelbein and Junior Bob Ebel sit out a dance. Matt Joy and L onie Bahr dance a slow one with their partners. Sophomores Lisa Gellett and Sean Stevens dance at Christmas Prom.

Drama Department Plays, One Acts cast for presentation A variety of plays were presented last year. Students worked for weeks on the productions they would be performing. The casts performed Scrooge and Night of January 16th . Also, the casts put on a series of one act plays to entertain the audience they attracted. —I i The students presented a musical version of Scrooge . Old Ebenezer Scrooge was portrayed by Jeff Beckner. The ghosts, who literally returned to haunt him, were played by Mitzi Deckinger, Steve Walker, and Scott McGinnis. They had a difficult time, though, changing Ebenezer. He was reformed, of course, by Tiny Tim, whose father Bob Cratchit (Stefan Hussenoeder), was Scrooge's clerk. Mrs. Cratchit was played by Michelle Gilliland. A comedy-drama, Night of January 16th , dealt with a famous murder trial. The play followed the American court system accurately. The cast was led by Stefan Hussenoeder and Mary Kunce. They were both attorneys. A variety of witnesses presented their own case to the jury for deliberation. To add an unbiased judgement, a jury of 12 people were selected from the audience to try the case and give an honest, unplanned verdict. During the night of one acts, students casted seven different comedies. The one-acts were presented as a dessert theatre with dessert served during the intermission. Kelly Palmer plays a lady of the mop during the night of one acts. Stefan Hussenoeder submits some evidence to Loyal Parsons while Jeff Merz observes. A crowd gathers to listen tojamme Loss speak during the presentation of Scrooge. 14 Plays
