“Nobody Likes Mordacious” Second Play Of Season “Nobody Likes Mordacious” was the second successful play of the fall season put on by the JHS thespians on November 15 and 16. Appealing to audiences young and old, “Mordacious” was the first performance under the direction of first year instructor at JHS, Mr. Richard McCoy.

As a part of the trip on the island, Orafu and Swizzle encountered a Huge and Hairy Thing (played by David McGuire) and wicked pirates. Once on the island, they encountered magical traps and a genie. And you may ask: Who is Mordacious? Why doesn’t anyone like Mordacious? Well, Mordacious is the evil ma-gician witch who caused Orafu all her problems. Mordacious scenes include Amy Hardwick and Catherine Bur-nette under attack from Huge and Hair Thing (David McGuire). The cast of Mordacious includes Matt Sherrow, Deedee Daniel, Catherine Burnette, Mark Burnette, Bob Grenda, Amy Hardwich, Brad Karr, David McGuire, Gordie Herald, David Phelps, Scott Birdseli, and Cathy Baugh.

Spangenberg, Crowe Are Royal Christmas Couple Seniors Sonya Spangenberg and Rob Crowe were selected by vote of the student body to be the queen and king of the 1985 Christmas dance. The other members of the court, also elected by the student body in voting during the lunch hour, included: Jamie Berkley, Erin Hudgens, Randy Hinds, Pam Roustio, Wes Richardson, Theresa Welch, Randall McGee, and Joan Mitchell. Returning to do the honors of crowning the new king and queen were last year’s reigning couple, Amy Hess and Gary Hadden. Despite the late hour of the coronation and his busy schedule during the Christmas season, Santa Claus made an appearance to announce the court and to distribute candy to the large crowd of dancers and on-lookers in attendance. Making an appearance at the dance were Andy Kaufmann, Mr. Curtis, Jamie Berkley, and Randall McGee as they take a breather from the dancing. The couples twist and shout at right. Gary Hadden and Amy Hess returned to crown the new queen of the Christmas dance. Santa Claus, who sounded much like Mr. Kennedy, reaches for candy as Patricia McPherson sings. 30 Christmas
