I Thompson Diane Rodkey and Larry Gudbauglz enler the building ai University of Por!- laurl where the junior-,verlior banquet was held. Ray Dimirm. his wife Nelma, DD Mitchell and Doug Hrzrvey leave the builrling after the multi-media presen- tation. Monday, April 5 . . . Thanks for the money for a formal Another crisis! Tomorrow's the last day to buy tickets and we need a more. equal balance between the number of seniors and the juniors and grads who will attend. You see, seniors don't have to pay. So, if we don't get enough non-seniors attending, we'll lose money. It's not that we're out for profit. This isn't a money-making benefit. But we would like to 'break even or at least stay out of the hole . . . Friday, April 9 . . . Tomorrow's the big night! According to the special presentation chairmen fDoug Steward, Steve MacLurg, and Randy Armstrong! we're all set to go . . . Sunday, April 11 . . . Last night was our banquet. It was so neat! But Iiwouldn't have appreciated it half as much if I hadn't been involved behind the scenes. Speaking of involvement behind the scenes, because of my involvement, I was one of the few people who knew that the entertainment didn't come off exactly as planned. For some reason, the Peters Sis- ters didn't show up. QI can't understand why. They are both pretty dependable! But the Lord really undertook. Only a -1' x ' 1: Carl Thompson very few people knew that they were scheduled to perform, so their absence didn't hurt us. Yet, it's too bad they didn't make it. Everyone would have loved 'em. I wish you could have heard the Sonday Singers. Brian Gerards, a former MSB music teacher who is now Hinson's music director, organized the group. At least half of them were former Multnomah students. Gordon Goertzen and Irvin Wood put on a two-man patriotic skit. What a riot! Our multi-media presentation was super. It really looked professional. Following the slide show, we had one more surprise. You should have seen the seniors when they saw their baby pictures hanging up! Well, I better close for now. It might be a while before you hear from me again. With the banquet over, I won't know what to write about! Love, Your daughter Carl D7 M53 1 , ' v 7 Q lv I T . , 1 . 5 - :?'? , 5 7 .,h:il'i.P E: .,,,l,,: 4' .

Sunday, February 22 . . . I wish you could have heard the I Love America concert. It was terrific! The only thing is, I'm afraid that everyone is getting their fill of bicentennial patriotism. Our plans sounded so fresh and original-last summer . . , Saturday, February 28 . . . We just got another bombshell dropped on our banquet plans, and boy is it a biggee. The Peters sisters who were going to perform both had to back out. Gary's somehow gotten stuck with working out other arrangements. KI don't envy him.J A while back, just one of them had to back out. It's kind of a long, complicated story, but it boils down to this-we've got to come up with some entertainment pronto . . . Thursday, March 4 . . . God is good! I can't take time to ex- plain it all right now, but the Lord worked things out so that both of the Peters sisters can perform after all. Just one of them will play and the other sing, or else both of them will sing. I think it has something to do with the fact that one of them will be eight months pregnant by banquet time . . . Rob Cultrm and jan Pexznecker talk with a friend at the banquet. Tuesday, March 9 . . . It seems we're again the victims of unforeseen circumstances. Our publicity chairman, Randy Brown, gets to go to Europe with the team. Of course we're real- ly happy for him, but I can see that our publicity won't be as extensive as we had planned. Speaking of Randy, Randy Armstrong is in charge of our dinner program . . . Tuesday, March 30 . . . What a week! My roommate and Joe Bush are the people in charge of banquet tickets. fNo-I didn't get her into that. She did that one all by herself.J My poor roomie. She's been going to bed even later than me. And this morning when I woke up, she was still sitting at her desk. She hadn't gone to bed! I asked her how it was going, and she just mumbled something about not having the gift of organization . . . Friday, April 2 . . . Wow! It's neat to see what people are going to the banquet together. I think there's less pressure than there was last year. I'm glad that lots of the guys feel comfortable bringing a sister to the banquet . . . P.S.-You might pray that I come up with money for a formal in time for the banquet next week . . . Ten' McKenna, Pam Pitts listen to a singing group from Hinton Memorial Baptist Church. Cliff Horr sing: Morning and Evening , a folk song he wrote about quiet time with God.
