THE SANTA CLAUS PARTY ONCE AGAIN, SANTA MANAGES TO VISIT NORTH SHORE This year ' s Santa Claus Party followed the pattern of those of years past. Each grade paired with one other to present a dance in Santa ' s honor. The faculty as well proved light on their feet in their dance. Seniors as usual played an important part in this year ' s program. Richard Marx was the master of ceremonies, Pam Scott fjead ' Twas the Night Before Christmas, and it was rumored that the most important part of all was played by andther senior class member (right, D.H.? And we don ' t mean Lawrence.) The day ' s activities were not only at the boys ' gym. After all the dances, the seniors and the kindergarteners went to the senior homeroom for their own party. They were lucky enough to be joined by Santa, who seemed happy enough when he arrived. However, after sitting by the window, with the sun shining brightly in his face, with his beard itching and his layered suit just a bit uncomfortable, Santa ' s patience must have been taxed just a bit. Yet he never let on. Instead, he graciously answered all the children ' s questions ( Yes, you can have a third box of ' Cracker jacks ' , and No, you cannot yank my beard off, and No, I don ' t attend this school ), and made the day a memorable one for all.

by Roger Shipley The concept of the Diller St. Theater arose out of a number of areas of thought, but its major goal has al- ways been clear: to provide quality entertainment for the North Shore community. Along with bringing quality entertainment, Diller St. hopes to provide a center for local performing arts groups and to provide that service to the community. Diller St. can also offer the opportunity for North Shore students to work in a professional theater situation in every area from publicity to backstage work. This is an opportunity not generally available to high school age students. Diller St. also offers the opportunity for all students to meet and talk with performers in various areas of the performing arts. As Diller St. grows, the opportunities for North Shore students will grow along with it. Whether the interest is that of observer or that of the participant eager for ex- perience in the performing arts, Diller St. can provide an outlet. Serving on the theater ' s advisory board are: Suzanne McCormick, president of the Chicago Film Festival, Bruce )archow, Second City cast member and graduate of North Shore Country Day, Kalman Novak, Director of the Music Center of the North Shore, Richard Cold- en, trustee of Winnetka and president of LPM Parts and Services of Illinois, Mim Golden, member of the Wom- en ' s Board of the Winnetka Community House, Richard Marx, president of Dick Marx and Associates, producers of TV and radio commercials, and representing the school are Headmaster Richard P. Hall, Richard Cooper, member of the Board of Directors, Susan Stone, school parent, Vincent Allison, Director of Music, and Lew Da- vis, faculty member. Roger Shipley is the program direc- tor for the Diller St. Theatre. The Diller St. Theater is named for a turn-of-the-century throughfare which once crossed the school campus, passing in front of the school auditorium. Evidence of the long gone street is found in the old brick paving at the campus entrance, where a stretch of some fifty yards remains. 20
