This annual dance was attended by approxi- mately one hundred three cou- ples. It was held the last day of school before Christmas break to celebrate the season. The theme was A Heavenly Win- ter ' s Eve. Couples dressed semi-formally for the occasion, and before the dance some went out to dinner. Popular restau- rants at which to eat were the Emporium. Tippecanoe Place, and the Ice House. After eating dinner, most cou- ples went to the mistletoe, where The Music Company played some popular dance songs from 9:00 to 12:00. I thought the band played really well! commented Joe Dot- The Rose Ballroom Was The Scene For This Year ' s istletoe son, a junior. In addition to dancing the night away, students could take a break to buy refreshments or to have their pictures taken. Several different packets were offered for couples who wished to cherish this memory forever on film. Afterwards Pizza Hut, located on McKinley Avenue, sponsored an after-dance party exclusive to Mishawaka High School stu- dents. Several couples opted to stop there for a while after the Ball. It was cool to have a res- taurant reserved just for us, re- lates Jeromy Wolford. The dance was very success- ful this year, and all in all, every- one enjoyed the evening. by Jill Taraskiewicz Amy Thornton. a sophomore at lUSB Gary Freeland. a junior, shows Ann Nordentoft, our exchange student from Denmari , one way we like to have fun in Mishawal a. 26 Mistletoe Student Life Patti Slates and Bob Rcppcrt rest awhile between dances and stare into

A two act musical, directed by Senior Amy Thornton, Finian s Rain- bow was a delightful production containing irony, satire, and hu- mor that is characteristic of a good showpiece. The actual pro- duction of this show, according to several members of the cast, involved a great deal of effort and hard work, in comparison to past MHS musicals. Troy Com- stock, this years ' senior Thespi- an president who played the lead of Woody, commented, Finian s Rainbow was a difficult musical. It was much harder than Oklahoma!, and several cast members had no previous stage experience. Sophomore Paul Kraegel who played one of the Gospelers in the Begat said, Finian ' s Rainbow was very complex. It didn ' t have a clear plot, and the characters were not as well defined by the writer as in some MHS produc- tions. As Freshman Susan Williams described, It was great! As seen by those who attended F.R., neither the com- plexity of the parts nor the diffi- culty of the script seemed to hamper the cast and crew in their excellent production. by Ron Jagger Upon arrival to America, Finian (Scott Suver) shows Sharon (Rosemary Ernst) the map that will lead him to the perfect place to bury his pot of gold.
