DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' Don't Stop Believin' was the dream that the Class of '83 had in mind for the 81-82 prom. Much time and hard work was needed to make this dream come true on May 8, 1982. We started preparing in the summer of '81 by renting the K of C Hall and arranging for the band Get Away. Many hours were devoted to raising money in order to put on a memora- ble prom. We started by selling London's Candy bars and collecting class dues our Sophomore year. In our Junior year, we collected class dues, sold candy, and money was donated by the '82 Seniors. Finally, through a benefit concert put on by the rock band. Free Fare, we collect- ed sufficient funds. Most people dream to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. That was the reason why rainbows were the perfect decor to fulfill our plans to make our dream come true. The hall was decorated in six hours of hard work and fun Everything from crepe paper to a 6-foot lighted rainbow was used. Thanks to the great ideas of Mr. Paul and Mrs. Breen, we even had a turning ball to add the finishing touch to the dance floor. All in all, we felt that the prom was a great success. We tried our best to tell everyone who attended Don't Stop Believin' because your dreams can come true. By Dennette Duff and Stacey Schaub Prom 13

 THE MUSIC MAN In conclusion, the two most important individuals participating in this production were choreographer Lynn Gratts and di- rector Loren C. Veigel. Without them, we wouldn't have survived' by Beth McNally Four score and seven years ago . . . Boh Ballinger, Tom Anderson, Larry Ballis, Ted McGraner practice their lines. The m2 cast of ''The Music Man . The curtain opens and suddenly you are introduced to the magic of River City, Iowa. How could this town of snooty people, as introduced in the production number Iowa Stubborn, be so ab- sorbed by a fast-talking, phoney sales- man named Harold Hill? Easy Harold, played by Jeff Marsh, convinces the townspeople that the children are delinquents, and the new billiard table will help to further the trouble in River City. The story progresses around the conflict of canny Professor Hill and Librarian (Ju- lie Ulm) as well as his conflict with Charlie Lowell (played by Jamie Swonger). The Music Man just didn’t turn into a big success. Approximately 240 Jackson students participated in this production. From the youngest Middle School boy or girl to the oldest teacher helping the cast, each and every individual worked to his her best capability. The people one sees on stage in a production are only half of the show. The music department extends many thanks to all the vocational departments that helped make this production happen. The Music Man brought many firsts to Jackson, and the student body should be proud of it. This musical was run for four days during two weekends and was also put on as a matinee for the sixth graders. It also received three ova- tions. I Play 15
