Heart to Heart The Sweetheart Ball was held February 14, 1987. The Spirit Club organized and sponsored this dance which was held in the commons at the high school. Because the dance was girls choice, the guys were asked about a month in ad- vance. Many of you will re- member lunchtime on Janu- ary 27. Because of the differ- ent time schedule, the two lunches were combined. With the help of Angela Meyer ' s friends, she asked Bob Wilkes to the dance in front of all those who were eating in the cafeteria. It gave those who heard the invitation some- thing to laugh about. The theme for the dance was Can ' t Help Falling In Love by Corey Hart. Inter- mission entertainment was performed by Alana Roundy. She sang the song which she previously sung for the Miss Madison program last year, I ' ve Got A Crush On You. The dance went from 9:00 p.m. until midnight. Pink and silver decorations adorned the commons. Pictures consisted of colorful helium balloons surrounding the couple. Ad- mission to the dance was $7 and the cost for pictures was $7.50.

Piece of Sky Don Partridge and Benny Bidwell tried to help Otto. Don Partridge got advice from Shawna Wilkins. 28 Student Life Play Cathy Leatham spoke to her sons. After five weeks of intense practice, the Madison Avenue Players put on the play, Pip- pin. It was the story of the son of Charlemagne and his search for complete fulfill- ment. Time after time Pippin was left feeling empty and va- cant. After falling into de- spair, he was challenged to play out his grand finale. Pip- pin refused the facade world and discovered his real self and the real light within. Don Partridge played the part of Pippin. David Waddell played his father, the King. David Tlney played Satan. Sara Frost played Pippin ' s girlfriend, and Benny Bidwell played her son. Shawna Wil- kins played Pippin ' s grandma. Cathy Leatham played Fastrada and Jeremy Hackworth was Lewis. It was a good play and the message about suicide was a positive one, said Greg Wightman. I enjoyed the songs, the actors, and the lighting, said Robin Erikson.
