Christmas Ball Stirs Old Memories At the end of a grueling week of semester exams, MHS students un- wound to the beat of the Cambridge Five. The mid-semester dance, spon- sored by the Student Council, is a yearly event at MHS. During the last week of Christmas vacation, MHS students looked for- ward to the Mistletoe Ball, the an- nual Christmas event of the Horizon Club. Old-fashioned evergreen trees- decorated with miniature musical in- struments, cream-colored balls sus- pended from the ceiling, and hurri- cane lamps centering the tables, car- ried out the theme of Memories of Christmases Past. Midnight snacks and exclusive restaurants lured couples from the Indiana Club at midnight. This event gave MHS'ers the op- portunity to meet other area high school students. K .,,.. . 5 N 4 Murals of horse-drawn sleighs and steam locomotives depict scenes of Christmas long ago and the Mistletoe Ball held in the Indiana Club. , , .... Combining new steps with the old of the frug and the skate, MHS students dance to the rock sound of the Cambridge Five. Helping out at the concession stand, freshman Jackie Watts serves Pepsi to thirsty MHS students at the mid-semester dance.

Filled with bitterness and jealous love, Harry Beaton Uohn Gautiery rapes Jean McLaren during her wedding celebration. The townspeople, overwhelmed with fear, look on. MH9'ers Greet 'Brigadoon' With Three Standing Ovations A bit of heather and a Scottish brogue added that special touch to Mishawaka High School's first all- school musical, Brigadoon. Eighty- three energetic students, clad in bright gowns or plaid kilts, con- tributed their talents to make the show a colorful and lively perform- ance. After weeks of rehearsing, the chorus, orchestra members, dancers, and actors adapted to the atmos- phere of an eighteenth century Scot- tish village. At the end of the two months, Mr. John Gibson, Mr. Ed- ward Fleming, and Mr. John Long had coordinated the different di- visions of the cast. Behind the scenes, committee workers combined their efforts to supply all the needed scenery and props. The chairmen recruited groups of MHS'ers to scavenge the area for Scottish costumes and flow- er baskets. The stage crew spent a hectic week building vendor's boothes and papier mache rocks. The final product of these ex- hausting but fun activities was a pro- fessional performance of the love story, Brigadoon. The enchanted village of Briga- doon appeared once every hundred years in the forests of Scotland. lt was here that the American Tommy Albright CGreg Zehringj fell in love with Fiona McLaren fCassie String- erj, a native of Brigadoon. One of the major conflicts in- volved Harry Beaton CJohn Gautierj, a bitter young man who endangered the lives of the villagers by trying to escape the curse of the mysterious place. The consequences of his death enabled the miracle to continue. Mr. Louis Brockie, bag piper, leads the funeral march of Harry Beaton.
