T lfc A Some rehearsals started as early as 6:30 in the morning. It really started getting hectic during rehearsals. But that ' s the fun of it. I love that part, said Jenny Osmond, who emceed the show with Jim Wark. It was their job to introduce per- formers like Tom Burns and Ben Strauss, who did a magic act described by one viewer as, just excellent. Then there was Rubber Ducky, an act in which twenty girls danced around the stage with flippers on. And they claim, You haven ' t lived until you ' ve walked in flippers. Producing a show of such grandeur and variety is not an easy job. Jim Wark sums it up best by saying, Show biz is a lot like life. It ' s the little people that make it go. I ' ll never forget the little people. 1 1 r r vaSp 1 ■ V i| II . Nfc

It takes as much courage to step out on the stage and perform as it does to play middle linebacker, commented Mr. Spencer, P.A.V.A.S. advisor. The Talent Show performers displayed this courage, along with enthusiasm, personality, and of course, loads of talent. Katie Garber, who co-directed the show with Scott Dow, explains, Scott and I had a good variety of acts. We decided exactly how we wanted it and just went from there. For one person involved, the whole show was an exper- ience, while for another, simply, I had a great time! Erin O ' Shea, who, for one act, had her whole self smeared with lipstick, vows, 1 loved doing the show but I ' ll never forget trying to get that stuff off! fcS P % fc

J.C.L. is a place where everyone is welcome Clif Averill J.C.L. is described by one member as a good group where anyone can join, everyone is equal, and everyone helps with everything. Their year- round activities help to provide the money to send them to conventions, where, in Rochester, New York, their latest scrapbook took fourth tionally. This year they held the Battle of the Classes Dance and paid twenty- five cents a head to the class who, number-wise, dominated the event. They also sponsored the Catapult Con- test and walked away with first place in accuracy, distance, and authentic- ity. That day was freezing cold. But some lady wanted to take a picture of us all in front of our catapult. So we all had to take off our coats and stand there with our J.C.L. T-shirts on. Our teeth were chattering — we were wicked cold! One untimely project was the pick- ing of lycopodium (Latin for Princess Pine), used to make Christmas wreaths to sell. We had our first major snow- storm of the season that day. So in- stead of picking the lycopodium up off the ground, we had to dig it out! In K-17, you can see the room deco- rated with awards. These don ' t just ap- pear; they are earned and well-de- served. Their efforts do pay off - this room full of trophies is visual proof. FIRST ROW L TO R: J. Cannemela, C. Megliola, G. Fusco, R.
