Do you remember Shadeland Road during Car Craft Nation- als? What a sight! Smoking tires and sharp cars were every- where. How about the State Fair? Motorcycles, tractor pull, and stockcars spit mud all over. Horses, pigs, and chickens whin- nied, grunted, and cackled. The lights, the colors, and the noises were whipped into cotton candy as children of all ages spent a day at the Fair. New movies were wild. RAIDER OF THE LOST ARK, SUPERMAN II, and HEAVY METAL dazzled audiences with special effects and animation. Did you check-out Monday Madness at the Pendleton Pike Drive-In? A dollar-a-carload meant a big crowd. Summer concerts lit the calendars as Pat Benatar, Tom Petty, and Van Halen took the stage during the hot, summer nights. Rock fans awaited tensely as the Rolling Stones an- nounced their American Tour, hoping to see the group billed as The Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band! Swimming, frisbee, and volleyball were the most popular sports for Marshall students as Hoosiers gathered under the sun for the WNAP Raft Race and the Madison Regatta. As the climate closed on the heat and lush green fades to red and gold. In cooler days we pulled the parties indoors to await next summer. We told tales of adventures we shared, as today turned into yesterday joining the sweet ranks of the good old days. — Dav MogoUon Catching up on the soaps traveling to the coasts . summer fun!

Escaping the constantly changing weather of Indiana, seniors Scott Cox and Milce Crouch improve their tans in sunnv L.A. Two Bakers, Andy and Pete, get their licks during a family barbeque. The sizzling, sultry sands of sunny Cali- fornia lured vacationers to the West Coast. Hip hooray, school ' s out Patriots play all about iOummer. Man, that sounds great! Winter ' s icy breath seemed so far in the past. The anticipation of that very first swim was obsessing. The sun shone in clear blue skies down on a crystal, shimmering pool. You just glowed as you took the first, crisp plunge slicing thru the cool water like a knife. Yeah . . . Race month started it off so well, too. Hey, let ' s go out to the track! And the whole parking lot at Marshall erupted into the procession. Parties and good times abounded as the formula ones roared around the oval course. Who really won? ' That question was finally answered when Bobby Unser was declared the winner of the 65th race after a controversial lap penalty in which he lost the title, briefly, to grand prix driv- er, Mario Andretti. Summer. No more waking up early in the morning. We slept late and watched all the soap operas. What happened on General Hospital from day to day was on most everyone ' s mind. The Afternoon Delights had a hit song about the show which told the wild tale of Luke and Laura. 4 Summer

West Side moves east; love story still popular R umbles and teenagers in love were the plot elements in last spring ' s musical, West Side Story . Set in the hot New York summer days of 1957. this production was a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet. Although love was emphasized throughout the play, it was also filled with action-packed rumbles between two rival gangs, the Sharks and the Jets. The main purpose for the rumbles was to gain turf. The gang leaders. Riff, portrayed perfectly by Randy Smith, and Bernardo, portrayed superbly by Steve Yates, were two of the four main characters. Curtis Lake and Cathey Hays were Tony and Maria. Although Tony and Maria were deeply in love, they could never be together because of society ' s cruelty. The dramatics director was Jerry Hurst, and Cynthia Featheringill-Smith was the choral director. Paul Justice and the stage crew provided sets, sound and lights. The cast, which put long, hard hours of rehearsal, did a fine job in portraying the characters. The orchestra members, led by Raymond Brandes, also contributed a tremendous amount to the success of this fine production. His honor J.D. Hartshorn presides over the trial of Action, played by Rob Young, during Officer Krupke , one of the more humorous numbers in last year ' s hit musical, West Side Story . .Anita (Felecia Roseburg) satirically relates how she loathes Puerto Rico in her solo I Like To Be In America . Filled with grief and sorrow, Maria watches her knight in shining armor being carried away. Makeup and preparation begin well before the curtain rises. Here, J.D. Hart- shorn applies his base make-up and other facial elements. Most students who are veterans of the dramatic productions are allowed to apply their own make-up. 6 Musical
