Animated Student Productions Captivate Audience Disproving the age-old adage that money cannot buy happiness were the sophomore performers. Their skit, Money , stole the show receiving the award for best act and best choreography. Vibrating fingers, wide grins, and bended knees adorned the finale. The plight of a puppet is voiced by these victims; however, looks of distress changed when they were awarded best dance. .lI- I |l B S !i|j l| AS Above, Phi! Morgan magically masters his golden trumpet valves as he plays his way to a best intermission act award. What do ya get when ya break the law? — just ask any one of these experienced jailbirds, Ann Henricks, Elaine McDaniel, Nancy McFarland, and Jean Kitley. Adorned in stripes, combat boots, and balls and chains, they sing the saga of convicts in distress.

Romeo and Juliet Provide A Time for Us ' ' The 1970 Franklin Central prom theme A Time for Us was well chosen as it predicted the romantic situation of the majestic queen and her radiant court. The court members include (left to right) Ruth JeflTs, Mary Frances Stillabower. Roberta Carlson, Queen Mary Whitsit, Peggy Schmidt, Laura Macaluso, Patti Brandt, Nancy Boggs, and Sherri Walker. Lights are dim and low, everyone knows how to act, without knowing what to do. An aura of refined excitement permeates the air and leaves eyes shining. As youth, A Time for Us seemed romantically appropriate, as did a King J ere and Queen Mary. Dates kept whispering Just one more dance and we ' ll go , but music kept playing, persuading us to stay on into the night. Only when theformais crisp rustle had been quieted, and the tu.x zipped into its rented home, did the memory echo that it was A Time for Us. (Left) Prom Queen . . . Prom King . . . can be a dream-come-true for only two juniors. The feeling Of anxiety was soon lifted as Jere Cox and Mary Whitsit were crowned King and Queen. (Above) Rented ruffled shirts and long flowing gowns move to the rhythms of each tantalizing second of prom time.

of 1970 Blue and White Revue A time for discovering talent. a time for gathering together. a time for displaying originality. The Blue and White Revue arrives with an impact experienced by all. For three months students paint scenery, design costumes and originate dances while parents non-ceasingly ask. And when is that performance? But the exhausting hours of preparation, and tense moments when Mr. Ferris Just shakes his head pass quickly The curtains close A sigh of relief All the world ' s a stage.

Mr. Ferris spends hours rehearsing music, direct- ing students, and sometimes scolding those misfits. ABOVE: Lucky clovers were easily cited in the freshman skit, Holiday Magic. Prancing across the stage are shamrocks Marty Humphrey, Jackie Lowes, Susie Root, Danna Humphries, and Terry Miller. The clovers warn the audience not to overlook those four-leaf clovers. sln Hii ST IW T r H ra H Mtmm ' m I ' . 9 rj H flHB IMKf 1 B H HV ■UK — ti»« 1 AF JH H 1 Q jA JLi v ' M Bb Kl tit.
