It’s Christmas Time « At the 1978 Christmas Ball Rhonda Conlon, Kelly Conlon, and her date Jeff Sabastion try to carry on an amusing conversation above the amplified music. Mike Connelly gets into the swing ot things at the Christmas Ball. Debbie Brown and Scott McCormick stop for a moment to rest after a great night of dancing. Memphis students sway to the music. A1 Winters and Barb Huber relax comfortably. Blue! Green! Yellow! Were the rythmic flashing lights that accented the 1978 Christmas Dance put on by the Student Congress on December 16. The dance was semi-formal, and began at 8 O’clock and ended at 1 1 O’clock. “Magnum” which consisted of four Armada High School students, was the band that entertained for the evening. They provided the spectacular lighting. The sponsors included Mr. Mrs. Rinke, Mr. Mrs. Pat- terson, and Mr. Mrs. Nowakowski. Our special thanks is given to them for contributing their time and effort to make the Christmas Dance. 9

HOW SENIORS SHOW TALENT Chuck Wahls. Phillis LeTarte. Kevin Billingsley. Beth Schott, and Steve her lines for her up-coming part. Cummings take a chance to watch the audience instead of the audience watching them. “How could I cause so much trouble— just because I wanted to go to the dance?” asks Hildegard Dolson. The answer was in “We Shook The Family Tree,” a play put on by the ’78 Seniors. In the lead role was Margie Lozen as Hildegard, a senior looking for a prom. John Jelinek played her father. As Mrs. Dolson was Penny Moran, a firm but understanding mother. Little sister Sally was Phillis LeTarte. Matt Dolan portrayed Hildegard’s big brother Bob, and Chuck Wahls was her younger brother Jimmy. Playing Paige was Dawn Connelly, the little girl who liked to play postman. Bob ' s heartthrob, Fllie May was played by Terri Tatton. Beth Schott, played Jill, Ellie May’s friend. Freddie Shermer, a boy that wears knickers, was played by Kevin Billingsley. Alan Meno was the dynamic Mr. Shermer, and Esther Anderson played Freddie’s mother. A bass in the bathtub, an electric wormer, beauty mud, a bur- gularized house, love letters mailed twice, and a missing pair of pants, all add up to “We Shook The Family Tree.” In charge of sound effects and lighting was Earl Baranowski. The play was directed by Ms. Zauner with the aid of student direc- tors Peggy Lozen and Renee Cunnings. During commercial rehearsal, Kevin Billingsley and John Jelinek fight over the use of the microphone. 8
