The crowd was taken back to the Rockin Fifties in the show ' s grand finale. Here, Damon Knight, Toni Dorado, and Cassie Rigney show off their 3-D glasses. New Ideas Spark Cabaret Popcorn, peanuts, and cotton candy? Not quite, but free refreshments, such as popcorn and cola, were standards at Cabaret Night, brought to the tables by the show ' s performers themselves. Serving tables, of course, was not the primary concern of the waiters at the choral societies ' annual fundraiser. After spending the 5 hours preceding the show setting up tables, chairs, and microphones, the nervous performers feared the worst. But as Alice Hall put it, The audience helped out so much: they were so supportive, and because of that you could come out proud of what you had done, even if you could have done better. But all in all, the cast and crew had a lot to be proud of. Many, many hours were dedicated to the success of the two nights by everyone connected. Special arrangements had to be made for almost everything used from the table tops and napkins to the home- made recipe for rootbeer. The Chamber Singers held special rehearsals with a professional choreographer for their finale. Even more rehearsals were plan- ned with the combo — a group of several band members combined for the first time ever with choral society in order to jazz up the show. In the end, through all the frazzled nerves and long hours, the two nights of performance turned out to be a smashing success, much to the relief of the new director, Mrs. Sheila Locke. The enthusiastic audience, coupled with the clever acts, made the night en- joyable for all. i , Z1 t k J , mk i 1 .f j y Ah, the troubles of married life . . . with two wives — Alice Hall and Helen Sanematsu — invading his space, Mark Yohonn has plenty to complain about in the song I Wish I Were Single Again.

Adding their own special touch to the hit song Ebony and Ivory are Chamber Singers Damon Knight and Randy Kardos. At their feet is $500 worth of sound equipment, called PMC mikes. A pair of them was purchased by the Choral Society this year. Joe Hansberry, also known at GQ Joe, perform- ed the rapping song The Breaks. This unique act was one of the biggest crowd pleasers of the night. Rock me all night lo-o-ong! croon the Chamber Singer girls in the final number of their Pop Show. The song, a fifties medley, was one of the crowd ' s favorite numbers at Cabaret Night. 4 student life

Hustle Made It Happen Everyone gave it their all no matter what was going on, com- mented Charlie Webb when he was asked why North won the IVY League title for the third straight year. Like Webb, many of the players felt that the reason for the team ' s winning season was dedication and hard work. Even though the Huskies started the season a little slowly, they soon found their form, and at one point had a ten game winning streak. During this streak the Huskies successfully defeated Banning, Moreno Valley, Ramona, and Poly to take first place at the 12th annual Riverside Baseball Classic for the fifth time. Not only did the team have out- standing accomplishments, but the individuals did also. Lance Sylvester, Charlie Webb, Jim Clark, David Rolland, Keith Kloke, and Andy Martinez made all IVY honors, and one of them, pitcher Charlie Webb, was picked as MVP of the league for the se- cond straight year. Coach Stalder also had an outstanding accomp- lishment, he passed a milestone by winning his 200th victory. Because of many outstanding players, the coach, and teamwork, the Huskies won the IVY league with a record of 20 wins and five WR Fuz i Webb throws the pay off pitch. The pitch was suc- cessful for the third strike and the third out. The Huskies went on to beat Poly 1-0. 6 sports
