Soc Hops Attract A Maze Of Dancers Shedding their inhibitions. Chris Pierce and Jane Strnad react naturally to the beat of the music. As Bobbie Hollander dances on. Debbie Seim flashes a surprised look at the photographer. With music provided by the Yunger Set. Julie Thomson and Chris Anderson show the newest dance steps at the Cheerleaders' Soc Hop. Cloaked in the stuffy blackness of the air, the figures wrenched and jerked grotesquely. Screeching waves of music radiated from the stage to the maze of forms peopling the floor. Penetrating the air and the walls, the sound of the band pounced on the atmosphere and held it in its grasp. The lights dropped leaves of cacophony on the night. Recessed in the dim, anonymous cement blocks, a motionless line of boys watched the dancers. They circled the gym like a myriad of spirits, closed to the spectacle by the barrier of their uncertainty. Finally, as the band turned to pack their in- struments, a slow movement started toward the door. The voices grew soft, then diminished.

One-Act Play Cast Captures Honors Rising from the murky depths of their graves, the characters of “Spoon River Anthol- ogy” came to life on stage to present their phi- losophies of life. Forest Lake Thespians re- created these characters of Edgar Lee Masters and presented the play in district competition. The troupe used the maximum number of people allowed to participate in a one-act play, but because the number of characters still exceeded the number of actors, many in the cast proved their versatility by playing two or more very different roles. Their efforts were well rewarded, however, with a first place berth in the sub-district con- test, and Best Actor and Best Actress awards for Clarence Johnson and Judi Dupre. Showing there’s more to putting on a play than just acting. Phil Collins works on one of the flats for the play. 14 One Act Play Cast: Left, Bill Larson. Front Row, Charlotte Rat- zlaff Second Row. Clarence Johnson. Judy Schroeder. Jackie Schmidt. Judi Dupre. Back Row, Phil Collins. Daria Thiltgen. Keith Havens.

On the winter afternoon of the Christmas concert, band Candy Larson and Sandy Sinn nervously enter the softly member George Mickelson, at left, and choir members lit gymnasium. Hidden in the fluffy spray of cold, white snow, a happy group of revelers fly in all directions as they tumble off their toboggan. Their leader, his feet still firmly in place, tries his best to hang on.
