AUDIENCE SINGS AS CHRISTMAS CONCERT FORMAT IS CHANGED With bells- ringing in the yuletide season, the Mercy Music Depart- ment presented its annual Christmas Concert. This year the concert was held in the gym because the number of students involved was too large for the performance to be held in the theater. Under the direction of Mr. John Mooter, the band provided timely music while Mrs. Susan Quirk conducted the Glee Club and Senior Chorus in their seasonal hymns. The theme of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was enacted when the audience was asked to participate in singing several carols -- a new touch for this year's concert. The December 16th and 17th performances provided all participants with a sense of warmth and joy of Christmas.

28 LISA'S SURPRISED SCREAMS HELD OFF PREDICTED SNOW The Luck of the Class of '77 won out when the heavy snow did not hamper the Christmas Bali evening. Instead it came on scheduled school days! The cold weather on the evening of December 26th was unnoticed by the high spirited seniors. Even the absence of the parking attendant at luxurious Beverly Hills in Kentucky did not bother these excited seniors and their dates. Hampton Court was the band chosen to play 302 Scagg's romantic hit, We're All Alone .which was the theme for the night. A very surprised Lisa Gies was crowned queen after her election for this by the entire senior class. The honored members of her court were Senior Co-Chairmen Debby Droege and Maribeth Rudemiller, Sports Star Lisa Moore, CSMC President Pam Louder- back and Home-making major Camilla Schath. RIGHT: The gorgeous dance floor at Beverly Hills seems to be an unusual place for Jim Russo to try out his iatcst Italian jokes on his unappreciativc date, Chris James.
