Presidential Pandemonium breaks loose as senator Bob Perkins announces to a group of youthful voters the election of the first teenage President of the United States. FACULTY AND STUDENT CO ORDINATORS — Front Roio: Bob Abrams, Karen Cure. Back Row: Don Martin, Margery Laycock, William Lord. HONORS IN FIVE ACT SPECTACULAR Junior Spectacular is dedicated to the proposition that act chairmen can exist on three hours of sleep a night, according to Junior Class President Mitch Daniels. All involved heartily agree, for this year ' s Spectacular included five acts instead of the original four. A search for a sponsor for an amateur summer theater was the theme of Cathy Steeg ' s and Linda Wilson ' s Scrim And Bear It. A beautiful Southern belle and a dastardly villain were portrayed in the old-fashioned melodrama, Jeopardies of Josephine, written by Marianne Bancroft and Julie Maxwell. Nancy Barnes, Karen Tucker and Debbie Warman employed spectacular lighting to create an eerie effect in the aquatic world of Life Is Just A Bowl Of Fish. Youths cast their votes for the first teen- age President of the United States in Presidential Pandemonium, an act written by Karen Leander and Anne Londe. A harrassed school marm led her pioneer students through Indiana ' s 150 years in the prize-winning act Sesquicentennial created by Katy Kivett, Anne Irwin and Debbie Wisely. This year the tenth annual Spectacular involved nearly 400 juniors in one way or another. I ' m afraid! cries Carla Agnew as she and Carolyn Cassada explore the aquatic world of Life Is Just A Bowl Of Fish. 13 I

CENTRALITES SHOW GOOD TASTE IN BOTH I Dan Kempton, dressed in a boy ' s typical uniform of sweater, slacks, and loafers, studies with John Ashton in the Chem lab. Pam Robert ' s f ' ashion-righl outfit and (lit ' sophistication of the campaign posters are both part of the contemporary scene during election lime ;ii North Central. H A Centralite is a person of many moods. When study palls, he turns to the solitary hum of strange melodies on his guitar or joins his friends in a lively gab session at a local drive-in. In class he listens with intense concentration, afraid to miss some im- portant point which might later appear on a test. Occasionally he thinks of nothing more than whom to invite to a dance. He works after school with pas- sionate devotion on Spec, the Prom, and Student Council, and then stays up until all hours doing homework. A Centralite is a person of many styles. In a year of fantastic fashions, however, the average boy matched the average girl in good taste and con- servatism. A Centralite is a mobile creature also. The parking lot housed an amazing variety of both self-owned and parent controlled cars. Those who dislike buses formed car pools. A Centralite is, therefore, an average young per- son—neither ultra-modern nor ultra-conservative. He is a typical high school student, busy, happy, excited about living, and caught in a world that puzzles him. The 1 ' rug, the jerk, and other wild dances provide a safety valve for blowing off steam after a heavy study week.
