Steve Nutting said: ' I like making clay moustaches during art class to help add a little something to my face. ' Face It, School Isn ' t All That Bad! Face it, sometimes relaxing and loosen- ing up are the best cures for the school blues. Tears, frowns, and smiles have all played a part in every human ' s life. For instance, junior Scott Bellot commented, A face is not just an individual mask to identify with a person, but it is also a tool used to convey emotions and humor. Throughout the lengthy school days, students were caught showing some most unusual faces. One of these was Kurran Heston trying to dodge the camera be- hind her purse. Once in a while, faces give away feel- ings too easily. For instance, when gifts are opened at Christmas time, not every gift is what was expected. Unfortunately an on-the-spot face expression of disap- pointment or distaste might be painful to the giver. On the other hand, a look of true love in one ' s eyes could perhaps save a relationship starting downhill since a friend can read another friend ' s eyes and feel the sincerity. Most faces give people something to smile about as Mark Galentine exclaimed, When I see my girlfriend ' s face, it makes me feel good to know that she ' s here with me. Another aspect about facial expres- sions as one freshman said is that a face may sometimes tell a person ' s personal- ity. Faces ranging anywhere from anxi- ety to fear are shown during the many straining moments in a sport. Julie Schramm replied, My all-time favorite face is a look of relief from the coach after finishing a Cross Country course. Consequently, students every day just like to goof off and make silly and totally off the wall faces. Reasons for these ex- pressions are unknown and the only con- clusions that can be drawn are to irritate teachers or bug classmates. Although everyone certainly makes nu- merous funny faces to each other, fresh- man Debbie Hallam replied, A simple smile can do wonders for you and others and will make a difference the whole day through.

John Negri commented: ' The Variety Show was really exciting! I think there is nothing more fun than singing and dancing for an audience ' Variety Show Gets Rave Review! This year the Variety Show had many entertaining acts which the crowd, filled to capacity in the auditorium, really en- joyed. The swing choir performed first, singing and dancing to We ' re Doing a Show, Singing in the Rain, and Rhythm of Life. Senior Mary Fozo commented, We worked really hard for weeks before the show in order to get a new routine together. It was very exciting performing for the large audience. For the second act sophomore Beth Piatkowski, who was accompanied on the piano by Amy Thornton, sang What a Feeling and Rose. For a break from the music in the show, junior Joel Thomp- son did a skit pretending to hold a conver- sation with Abe Lincoln. The audience really liked his mock conversation as well as the next act when Marigrace Patton did an Irish dance. Marigrace said, I ' ve been dancing for eleven years now, and those big crowds don ' t affect me any longer. For the third act of the show the music began once again as senior Brian Barber sang Just the Way You Are. He was followed by a skit titled A Fairy Story. This skit was performed by Aaron Bob- son, Jenny Dahlins, Darin Dahms, Jenny Grimm, Laura Musser, and Joel Thomp- son. They acted out a skit concerning a terrible dragon. Next, Jerry Peddycord sang Annie ' s Song and played the guitar. Then Aaron Bobson, Jenny Grimm and Joel Thomp- son walked out on stage, plugging their noses and hitting their throats, sounding like genuine bagpipes. The audience roared and sophomore Dana Hostetler exclaimed, Their skit was very funny and original. Nobody expected anything like it. For the last act of the night, the well- known band Still Fall played many popu- lar songs which rocked the auditorium. Senior Chris Tordi commented, 1 thought the band was the best act of the show. The band consisted of Chris Hos- kins, Gary Jones, Nick Linarello, and Ray Lukowski. Some of the songs they played were Running with the Devil, Lay It Down, Hot Bloooded, and Loving Every Minute of It. The students in the audience stood up and danced to the mu- sic and everybody seemed to have a good time. 1 he swing sing and da all de -We Doing new costu Show.- Variety Show 25
