They all were a part of the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance held on March 13. This year’s dance, sponsored by the sophomore class, featured a disc jockey for the couples’ enter¬ tainment. The Multi-Purpose Room looked like a scene from a barn dance decorated to emphasize the country theme. Tracie Griffith commented, “The best part was being there with my date, Brian Black, and I liked the music.” The highlight of the dance was the good old-fashioned wedding ceremony” performed by a good old fashioned preacher.” Ruth Barnhill said, Getting mar¬ ried is a good idea, it adds life to the dance.” During the ceremony the ladies and gentlemen were hitched”. Per¬ forming the ceremony this year was the honorable Reverend” Don Holt. At the end of the ceremony, couples were warned that their vows had expired!

his Girl is no Joke FUNNY GIRL hits the stage with Broadway glitz and glamour ights, make-up, chorus girls, orchestra music. Broadway? Almost. Actu¬ ally, it was the Lowell High produc¬ tion of the hit musical Funny Girl. The musical takes place during the concluding year s of the Roar¬ ing Twenties.” The heroine of the show, Fanny Brice (Chris Zugel) has to overcome many problems to be¬ come a star. Her best friend, Eddie Ryan (Tim Goldman), and her Mama (Andrea Mortimer) help Fanny be¬ come a Broadway star. With an aura of romance, Fanny falls deeply in love with the dashing and hand¬ some Nick Arnstien (Craig Robin¬ son). Fanny eventually marries her true love. Mrs. Ciochina, who directed the spring musical, commented, “The shows went great! There were a few bugs opening night, but it seemed to pull together. The individual charac¬ ters were outstanding.” The Pit Band, directed by Mr. Don Holt, provided the music for this min¬ iature Broadway production. Even after the lights dimmed and the cast bowed, the excitement from the 1987 spring musical pro¬ duction of Funny Girl lived on in the hearts of all who saw it. Tammy Kinsey
