FALL PLAY CONCERT 'Arsenic and Old Lace' was another down-to-the-uire production which came off well.” Dave Hod el Two charming old ladies who “kindly” poison old men won the hearts of record crowds November 17, 18 and 19 when Direc- tor Richard Barnes, assisted by Jeanette Nelson, presented “Arsenic and Old Lace.” It was the best attended fall play ever at Lake- ridge, and it earned the most money of any fall play. The cast had many stars. Sheila Sulliger and Dorothy Rackley were entirely believable “dotty” old ladies, with Sheila’s facial expres- sions alone bringing many laughs. Pete Gallo’s wacky portrayal of Teddy Roosevelt, sinister Steve Reinschmidt, and the German professor Steve Harland-Einstein were other fine characterizations. Equally successful was the striking set, a Victorian living-dining room, which was designed by Dave Mangam of Portland, ably assisted by students Jamie McClung, Gene Roll, Todd Perkins, and Cathy Connor. The first fall concert by the Lakeridge Music Department on November 1 was very successful, widely attended by both parents and students. All the choirs and bands were received enthusiastically by the audience. Of special recognition was the Company who sang “Try a Little Tenderness,” “Sometimes,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Debbie Thornton lit up the show with her solo “You Light Up My Life.” Another outstanding soloist was Charles Burke. The Stage Band did an excellent job play- ing Alone Again Naturally” with solos by Jason Ford on the trumpet, David DeLong on the trombone, and Jim Hinson on the saxo- phone. 1 —Lisa Dahlen sings Amen while the Concert Choir accompanies. 2 — Mr. S teve Ticen sings and the Pacer Choir waits for their cue. 3 — Abby (Sheila Sulliger) entertains Teddy (Pete Gallo) and her guest the Reverend Doctor Harper (Brady Jensen). 10 FALL PLAY CONCERT

BACK-TO-SCHOOL There was a lot more spirit this year. ” Jeff Smith Students at Lakeridge received a big sur- prise this year as all underclassmen were placed in structured IS classrooms during their independent study periods. Juniors and sophomores were released after two weeks on the condition of parental permission, teacher approval, and a minimum grade point average of 2.0. The freshmen were not completely “abus- ed,” however; they received help and guidance from the Big-Brother Big-Sister Program. Their “friend” helped them find classes and gave them a tour of Lakeridge. They were also greeted by their Big Brother or their Big Sister on Orientation Day. That night the student government sponsored the Howdy Dance. Back-to-School Night’s main objective was to inform parents of the outline and require- ments for the school. Pacer parents went to ten-minute classes. The yearbook signing party found many frantic students anxiously awaiting their annuals. Students signed yearbooks and nos- talgically reminisced. The junior spook house brought over 500 children to see all the ghoulies. Spencer Hin- son. who helped organize the spook house, thought it was a “big success.” Several games, two movies — featuring “Laurel and Hardy” and “The Roadrunner” — and of course the famed Haunted House” (converted locker rooms) thrilled visitors. October 18 the senior class sponsored a famous persons Dress-Up Day. Several spirited Pacers participated in the activity. Steve Har- land, junior, came as Bele from the popular television series Star Trek, and Beth Oliphant, junior, looked amazingly like Shirley Temple. Lakeridge experienced a first this year: an electrical fire attacked the boiler room on September 17. The cause of the fire was not determined; damages exceeded $1200. The fire disrupted several classes. Students willing- ly met in the rotunda, auditorium, and other vacant rooms. 1 — Becky Hodges and Laura Marble try to find a friend in the 1977 yearbook at the signing party. 2 — Brian Taylor, Laurie Myers, Laura Cleland, and Eve Gu twald wait for hungry Pacerparents to gobble up ice cream at the AFS ice cream social. 3 — Lisa Gango peers over the counter in the student store while John Sanders and Dave Candland show varied expressions which came with the beginning of school. 12 BACK-TO-SCHOOL
