The football game was saturated with rain, but the fans sat through the downpour. Hall was defeated by Geneseo on a muddy battlefield 14-0. The Homecoming dance, Never Can Say Good-by , was held in the gym and started with music by Aura . The lights, decorations and the music pro- vided for an exciting night of dancing and listening. It all ended with the final slow dance of the evening, but we will never be able to say good-by to the spirit, magic and memories of Carousel '77. 1.

“Arsenic” proves a success for Drama Club There seemed to be a low hum as the voices of the cast and the audience blended together for the final few moments before the performance. The lights flickered out, and silence becalmed the house. It was the opening of Arsenic and Old Lace , this year's fall play. The first night provided a test of nerves as butterflies filled the stomachs of the actors. After the play the cast spent the remaining few hours of the night and the rest of the next day concentrating on perfection of their characters, under the direction of Miss Kotte and Miss Strouse. Tension was building as the play entered its third and final nignt. All went well as the but- terflies again made their jumbling appearance. The stage hit a climax on that night with the final curtain call and screams from the cast. Makeup commingle with tears as the cast slowly departed the memory filled auditorium. As the lights drew to a close, the eternal portal was sealed shut on another successful play. 1. Staring at Jonathon's picture, Abby Brewster, Penny Holdcraft, and Martha Brewster, Celeste Kusek, compare Jonathon's second face change. 2.
