Banquet Recreates Old English Era , , irls dressed in long dresses, clasped tight- ' ly at the waist with high bodices and boys wore bloomers with satin capes. Doesn't sound like GBS stu- dents walking down the hall, but actually it was the Master Singers disguised for their performance of the Elizabe- than Banquet. According to Dr. William Schnell, head of the Elizabe- than Banquet, it went very well. It was very successful. We had a lot of humor in it, which made it more fun for the students and for those watching. The Elizabethan Banquet was the creating of an atmo- sphere in an Old English set- ting during the holiday sea- son, said Schnell. About 80 people participat- ed in it. It's the largest num- ber of people we've had, he added. It's twice as many Doug Miller, Julie Krueger, and Jer- emy Page enjoy their Wassail as Baby tries something more nour- ishing. people as usual. According to Schnell, every Elizabethan Banquet is differ- ent. It's built around the tal- ent of the participants. If a student who's missing has a main part, it causes the din- ner to take a different charac- ter, just because he's miss- ing. Instead of serving each per- son separately, guests were served in a buffet style. The caterers did a good job, Schnell said. The money gained through ticket sale took care of the ex- penses. The venture raised about S100 and it went to the Master Singers' fund. , Even though Master Sing- ers went back to the Elizabe- than era, and it seemed as though they were going back in time, they were actually looking in the past to strive forward in the future. The Master Singer Bellringers greet the lord and lady of the manor with a holiday tune. Elizabethan Banquet! 35

A Step Back In Time Brings 50's To GBS When constructing a puz- zle, a piece will sometimes 'fall into place, making the picture more clear. The piece to this years 50's day was envolve- ment and as the day went on the picture of 50's day became clearer and clearer. One of the main highlights was the 50's day assembly. The assembly was based on American Bandstand. Mike DiBenedetto acted as Dick Clark and the audience acted as judges for the contestants who danced the jitterbug. Songs from Grease were the main melodies sung during the contest and the rest of the assembly. The winners of the contest were Charlette Laystrom and John Shiappacasse. Runners- up were Marty Morgan and Chris Andrews. I think this was the best Junior Patti johnson sings Hopelessly Devoted To You at the 50's day assembly. Dean Menegas, joe Daab, Steve Levitan, and Ed Dingman sing a number from Grease . 36!50 s Day 50's day in two years, said Mr. David Smith, head of this year's 50's day. There was a lot of participation from kids. 50's day was like two years ago where any student could be on that stage. Girls wore skirts with felt poodles on them and bobby socks and boys wore sweaters and beanies. The costumes were original, said Karen Greenberg, sophomore. I en- joyed dressing up. The par- ticipation wasn't as strong as last year, but overall it was pretty good. To top it all off, there was a 50's day sock-hop. Students danced to the music of they 50's. By the end of the day, the puzzle was completed, the picture was very clear that GBS enjoyed living in the 50's for a day.
