Ualegrams lead to “Time (n a Bottle” In a time when clothes and music are full of nostalgia, Time In a Bottle proved an appropriate theme for the Sophomore ' s Sweetheart Dance. Many of the outfits looked as if they belonged in either a spaceship or a Model-T. Apparel included both the mod, such as a fuchsia satin suit, and the time-worn, as in the case of a tiffany-styled gown. Dancers moved to the sound of Hard Cider, a young band which met with mere satisfaction from music loving listeners. Queen Jill Perry and her court, Seniors Missy Johnston and Kathy Trimarchi, Juniors Sharon Cauley and Sherri Wilson, Sophomores Eileen Daly and Cindy Walters, Freshman Missy Walters and Sandi Smerdzinski, reigned ever a shrunken floor. Only half the cafeteria was opened, to lend a more cozy atmosphere. Sophomores were relieved when the culmination of efforts, including the Valentine ' s Day Valegram sale, could be considered, a success.

Have you ever wondered how every three weeks copies of the Rank and File are mysteriously de¬ livered from out of nowhere into your hands? Every year a chronicle of the year ' s events materializes and makes its appearance for all to see, but where did these books come from? And how about all those drama and band freaks? How can they get up and perform on stage so naturally? The performances, the publica¬ tions; they seem a world apart. Yet they do have one factor in common, and that is dedicated students. The reason for their hard work? Perhaps they enjoy the feeling that comes from working with others toward a common goal; be it a successful concert, a good performance or just trying to make the next deadline. What ever motivates these people — the school should be thankful for their efforts. They are a fine con¬ tribution to the student body. 40
