Acting class, gymnasts give popular shows Both the actors and gymnasts put on great shows to full houses. Reborn after a two-year absence, the gymnastics club staged “Point of You, an original production, while advanced acting students put on Picnic. Ms. Patterson's advanced acting class prepared the version of Picnic, a 40's love story, as a culminating activity. Junior Vicki Ballin was student director. The show was a huge success, as theater lovers jammed the Student Auditorium for the Feb. 1 performance. Lead roles were played by juniors Andy Brizzolara. Rebecca O'Bleness, and Amy Morton; however, the entire class played some kind of role. Student enthusiasm resulted in a new Girls' Gymnastics Club. Responding to numerous requests, Ms. Voss agreed to sponsor the group. Over 70 girls tried out. 65 were chosen for membership. For most of the girls, the club was an alternative to the gymnastics team. Commented junior Karen Gleicher, I wanted practice and to improve my skills, but not the pressure of competition. Yet I wanted a chance to show what I've learned. Rehearsing for the gym club show, juniors Maria Resch and Michelle Glass use the bal- ance beam to create a mirror image. In one ol the show’s stoppers gym clubbers stretch for joy in their ball routine. 23 POTPOURRI

Senate raises funds for charity; classes produce funds for Focus A big part of the school scene is fund-raising of all kinds for all kinds of purposes. Chief among the money raisers is Student Senate, which expected to collect $3,000 during its annual spring charity drive. The money was slated for distribution to the American Cancer Society and the Highland Park-Highwood Community Chest. Senate came up with some new wrinkles for its drive, including a faculty variety show, a car wash, and the popular film, Young Frankenstein.” The senior class made over $1,000 from Stunts for yearbook and the class gift. The juniors made over $520 to help pay for Prom and other class projects. Sophs raised over $300 with flower, pen, and bake sales, most of which was donated to Focus. The frosh also worked for Focus by selling candy canes and bakery goods. The chief cornucopia for organizations was the concessions stand at football games.

A unique fund raiser was the soph’s Valentine's Day carnation sale. FUND RAISER 25
