Dances and Musicals Add Spark to School Activities Katrina Andretta and Tom Altorfer ruled over their own ice castle as they were crowned king and queen of the winter formal. The others on the royal court were Lisa Christina, Karen Wimmer, Sandy Poole, Lori Batsell, Don Alberto, Dean Gomez, Zane Cooley and Robert Wilson. The formal took place under a silvery Christ- mas setting as the dance was held just two days before Christmas. Many couples had their pictures taken before the wispy ice castle. The dancers took to their feet to the music of the talented Back Street Band. The members of the vocal jazz group spon- sored the activity and the couples seemed to enjoy the decorations, refreshments, and atmosphere.

 Your attention if you will, I’m professor Harold Hill and I'm here to organize a River City Boys Band. With these words Harold Hill, played by Brian Henzel, wrapped the citizens of River City, Iowa, and the audience of Hen- ley High School around his little finger and led them through the songs, dances and action of The Music Man presented by the music and drama departments. He was able to convince Marian the Librarian, played by Tammy Bowden and Tina Mack, that there really was magic in what he did and said. Highlights of this excellent production included songs by two quartets. The male quartet consisted of two Henley alumni, Bruce Durant and Joe Walker, and two teachers, Blaine Mack and Steve Thickett. The name E-Wart took on new meaning as the mayor, Tracy Kiger, never seemed to get it just right. The “Pick-a-Little ladies were led by the charming mayor's wife, Pam Ross. While the other salesmen in the area were trying to prove that Harold Hill was a fake, Harold and his accomplice Marcellus, Lenny Moorman, sold the town members instruments, uniforms, and instruction books. The play ended with music by both the grade school and high school bands.
