Romantic scenes, humor, colorful costumes, leaps and whirls, all parts of Successful entertaining Broadway it wasn't, but then everything has its beginning. Musicals have elements which make them good shows. The first of the three elements is the story itself. The story, which is the most important, must be interesting and dramatic and usually amusing, Then the music is added for romantic color and humor, through the lyrics or words of a song. For example, one of the songs done in South Pacific was, Wash that Man Right Out of Your Hair. Have you ever seen anyone wash a man out of their hair? The last ele- ment which helps make a musical is the dancing, it provides variety, with colorful costumes and leaps, whirls and general movement. Sometimes the dance itself entertains the audience.

From arcades to auctions, club activity funds were raised by deuoted members who bore the title The money makers Fund Raising is a very important part of all clubs and organizations. For many groups, fund raising is their only source of revenue. The most important part of these projects is to find something that students will buy, One of the best ideas of the year was brought up by the Highsteppers. They let the student body choose thirteen male students they would like to see in a calendar. This item was especially liked by the girls. Ml thought the calendar was a great idea, and I thought the student body was good in their choicesf' commented Highstepper Dawn Clark. The Student Council sold multi-colored suckers for a quarter. This money helped pay for the foyer furniture and remainder of the bill for painting the water tower. German Club enjoyed one of its most suc- cessful years in fund raising. Their Novemberfest booth brought in over S200 in profit. German Club member Vikki Dorris said, f'This was the club's best year ever. Another idea came from VHOE, who sold live carnations for Valentines Day. This year saw many new and interesting fund raising ideas. The money raised helped improve the school and allowed groups and clubs to broaden their learning experiences. Senior Chris Douglas displays his auctioning talents while raising money for his business class.
