Activity Day School days get to be a bit monotonous after a while. Once every three weeks, stu- dents have the opportunity to break up their everyday schedule with an activity pe- riod fit in between second and third hours. Chess, Coin Collecting, Dance and Data Processing are only a few of the many classes available. Ask Phil Maicher, pictured left, how exciting Chess is to play; that is, when you ' re winning. Phil Maicher enjoys a winning game of chess. Taught by Ms. Calanis and Mrs. Hardaloupas, Creek dancing was very popular. Many students, including Larry Le- and Jeff Swike, were among the data wandowski, Steve Gratto, Tim Dobis processing class. The beginning bridge class, taught by Mr. Yeoman, enjoys a game of cards. 27

A Night to Remember December 1 was an enjoy- able evening for many stu- dents. This year ' s Turn-about was sponsored by the Merrill- ville High School FTA mem- bers. The theme of the dance was Winter Wonderland. A fantasy it was for many while embraced in someone ' s arms, dancing to a mellow sound provided by the music group, Fluid Motion. Turn-about night is also an opportunity to reverse the old tradition guy asks girl. A girl has a chance to ask out the guy she has been admiring, possibly even secretly. After a fun-filled night of laughter and dancing, all retire to a peaceful dinner at a restau- rant with a light and cozy atmosphere. juniors John Truchan and Kathy dances to pose for our photographer.

Lights, Camera, Action This year the 1980 Revue, entitled That ' s Entertain- ment, was the main attrac- tion at the Reinhart Audito- rium on the 22nd and 23rd evenings of February. Starring in the Revue were the Mup- pets. The voices of the mup- pet people were narrated by the Thespians under the di- rection of Mr. Morrow. Mi- chaelene Hamang played the voice of Miss Piggy, John Brady was the voice of Kermit the Frog, the voice of Animal was Bryan Reinhart, and Dave Gruber played the voice of Rowlf. Without hard work and de- termination, the Revue could not have been a success. In the first few weeks of January, fifty-five acts prepared for auditioning, which took two nights. Only the top nineteen acts were chosen. The Revue was like a variety type show with skits, singing, and dancing.
