FUNDS AND SPIRITS RAISED BY ' 88- ' 89 CHARITY WEEK f ■mmHH ' ' r 11 W |, m MB 1 j MM I HL The 1988-89 Charity Week commenced on March thirteenth and closed on March seventeenth. Loara stu- dents displayed much enthusi- asm and pride by participating in all activities. From the volleyball tournament to buy-a-buddy, all the activities were a hit. Many students showed their true sides by dressing up throughout the week. Two of the favorites were Nerd Day and Kids ' Day. Another activity that brought much money was class competi- tions. Mr. Megill ' s class captured first place while Mr. Nicholson and Mrs. Wilkoff received honor- able mentions. A special thanks goes to the ASB Cabinet, especially to Ruth Cayford and Mr. Halpin, who or- ganized Charity week. The Char- ity drive was a fun-packed, thrill- ing adventure through the activi- ties of our own school. 125

LOARA DURING PRODUCES STARS ANNUAL MUSICAL! Loara ' s 1989 musical pro- duction Viva Las Vegas was a story of students banding together to achieve a common goal. It seemed that Loara ' s princi- pal, Dr. Jerry Glenn, had recently won the Calitornia State Lottery to the tune of $40 million. He re- tired to the fun and sun of the Mexican Carribean. However, this win bankrupted the entire Anaheim Union High School Dis- trict, and particularly Loara High School. Act One took place at a district school board meeting where Loara students picketed and pro- tested the closure of the school. The Board was firm in its stand to close Loara, when someone ran in to announce a talent show in Las Vegas, with a first prize of $40 million. The Loara Perform- ing Arts Department decided to go to Las Vegas to win the con- test and save Loara. Acts two and three had the students in Las Vegas seeing a lounge show and a casino in ac- tion to get ideas for their talent show presentation. Act four was the talent compe- tition at Caesar ' s Palace. Loara presented music representing the Southern California lifestyle - a medley from the musical Les Miserables, a surfing medley, and a selection of tunes from our own Disneyland. Although the competition was close. Loara won the $40 million and saved the District and Loara from Bankruptcy. The show closed with the entire cast sing- ing Viva Las Vegas. 127
