Who plays matchmaker for herself-as well as others? Dolly Levi and suddenly nothing is the same. This became true as Camille Plautz, Dolly Levi, and Scott Smith, Horace Vandergelder, played the leading roles in Hello, Dolly. Jay Komorowski as Cor- nelius Hackle and Ron Windmiller as Barn- aby Tucker added to the cast as employees of Horace Vandergelder. Backstage situations doubled excitement when doors got stuck and walls moved mysteriously during performances. Comical ad-libs by actors also brought laughter from the audiences. Dancers took part under the direction of Mrs. Marion Hoyda. Much time and effort was spent practicing and making perfect. By May 8 unfinished things were ready and actors, actresses and dancers took their places on stage, ready to perform. Suddenly, as the lights dimmed a hush fell over the audience. The curtains rose, the orchestra played and Dolly came alive! DOLLY LEVY-COUNSELOR AT LAW. Up to her old tricks, Dolly convinces Horace that a wife is what he needs.

What ' s one of the biggest nights of the year? Prom, of course! Stars and a wishing- well decorated the lobby area. A flowered- covered bridge was the walkway over a glistening creek. Many couples waited in the lengthy line for pictures. Others danced to the music of the Bob Wilson Band or snacked on cookies and punch served by freshman girls. The court was introduced and Ed Ty- lenda sang the theme song, Stairway to Heaven. The crowd applauded with ap- proval as Jordan Vukus and Michele Sikich were crowned king and queen to reign over the festivities. After-Prom began with a steak dinner at 1 a.m. in the House of Lynwood. Fresh Air provided the fast dance music until 5 a.m. when the couples left to catch a few hours sleep. Smiles and fallen curls were seen on Sun- day morning. An unusually cold day pre - vented many couples from going to the beach. Some went to the zoo, others to Turkey Run. Monday morning came much too soon. Sleepy eyes and sunburned faces showed who had enjoyed the weekend activities. Prom 13
