Tricycle races feature of turkey trot This year ' s Turkey Trot provided both something old and something new for the enjoyment of the student body. The traditional sack and three-legged races ended with winners receiving turkeys, chickens, and ducks as usual, and the tug- of-war teams from each class battled for extra points for their own class. Fun continued as the annual 50 and 100 yard dashes took place, as well as the half mile and mile races. Many students teamed up for the wheelbarrow races, as well. New to the Turkey Trot this year were the tricycle races. Both students and faculty members peddled their way down the track to cross the finish line. At the end of the days festivities, the freshman class came out with the most points. They received a giant turkey leg as their reward. Members of the sophomore tug-of-war team, jill Gallet and Cindy Paster¬ nak, try hard enough to pull the junior team over the line. junior Teresa Velasquez jumps ahead of the rest of her opponents to take the lead in the sack race. Mr. Randy Hot Rod Fenters shows the other faculty members how it ' s done as he peddles across the finish line in the tricycle race. 27

Students view many types of assemblies The special assemblies this year were of many types. Some assemblies were in the auditorium so that the au¬ dience could both see and hear the performers better. Ad¬ mission was charged so that only interested students would attend. Programs in the auditorium included black poetry, English songs, and bagpipe music. The Kellogg Singers and jazz band from Battle Creek, Michigan entertained the mu¬ sic department in the auditorium. For one assembly, the en¬ tire student body went into the fieldhouse and sat in a cer¬ tain section with a teacher assigned to each section. There was much less noise this way, and everyone enjoyed the music of Under New Management . )im Kapitan accepts his football award at one of the special athletic assem¬ blies that took place in the fieldhouse. As the student body sat and listened, “Under New Management enter¬ tained them with songs of the 50 ' s, 60 ' s, and 70 ' s. Sitting in assigned sections made it easier for the entire student body to hear an assembly because of less audience noise.

' Funny Girl ' attracts record audiences SHAVE - -HAIRCUT 10 fl After Fanny ' s first Ziegfeld success, Tom Keeney (Mark Hennessee) ex¬ plains to Emma (Cookie Credille) how he originally fired Fanny. The Lake Central Theatre Guild closed their eighth season with the highly successful spring musical Funny Girl under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lowe. Holding the lead role as Fanny Brice, Senior Becky Lan¬ caster headed one of the largest casts that had ever been involved in an LCTG production . The play was centered around a Ziegfeld Follies star, Fanny Brice, and her rise to stardom and happiness. The story of her hilarious mishaps , downfalls, and incorrigable encounter with love was accen¬ tuated by the unrelenting courage and strength that drove her on after each setback. Each night, a full house of anticipating spectators ap¬ plauded the successful efforts of the outstanding cast, while mixed laughter and tears complimented the actors and said more than any words could convey. Fanny ' s plans to leave the show and follow ' her new found love to New York are met with disapproval and disgust. Interested co-workers listen intently to settle their aroused curiosity of Fanny ' s marriage to Nick Arnstein and life as a married lady. 28
