Conrad Birdie comes to Northville High Bye Bye Birdie, this spring ' s musical, was directed by newcomer David Drobot. Although the production started late, the performance came together wonderfully in ' a healthy, normal, American way. ' Hutch Kerns played Conrad Birdie, a popular Elvis-Type 50 ' s singer who was drafted into the Army. As a promotion for him, his managers Albert, Russ Rothermel, and Rosie, Mina Rahimi, picked one lucky girl to receive the ' last kiss ' from Conrad. Karia Pearson played the chosen one — Kim MacAffee. Nancy Merrifield and Jim Chappell were her parents and Jason Merecki her brother. Kim ' s steady, Hugo Peabody, was portrayed by Ian Chowdhury. The above parts combined with thirty more ' fine, upstanding, healthy ' high school kids to ' put a happy face ' on all who saw the play. Once again Northville High School students showed that they have ' a lot of livin ' to do ' with a top quality performance. KarIa Pearson is all smiles as she thinks about her date with Conrad Birdie, while her brother Jason Merecki and her mother Nancy Merrifield look on. Mina Rahimi — Rosie — gets a little friendly advice from Albert ' s mother — Laura Hepler. Hutch Kerns — Birdie — receives instruc- tions from his manager Albert Peterson played by Russ Rothermel. 42

-ID Peppin ' Up NHS Once again this year the Pep Club spon- sored the Homecoming dance. Under the direction of Mike Crawford and Steve Cook the group organized the event following the fairy tale theme. The creative club also introduced a new activity for Homecoming spirit week — class competition night. At this first an- nual event held on the football field, the Pep Club took full responsibility for plan- ning each event. Gunny-sack races, 3- legged races, tug of war, and the chariot challenge proved to get all classes rowdied up. However, the audience let loose most astoundingly during musical chairs when the losers received whipped cream pies in their faces. As in the past the Pep Club provided a concession stand at football and basket- ball games. With such uniquely peppy students working together, the Northville High school Pep Club is bound to introduce even more creative festivities in years to come. PEP CLUB — FRONT ROW, Steve Cook, Mike Crawford, Shawnemarie Pickarski. 2nd ROW: Lisa Crawford, Karen Mirisola, Donna Dunnabeck, Kristin Mirisola, Mary Ptiillips- BACK ROW: Steve Lee, Sally Campbell, Eve Ranney, Kathryn Krueger, Shelley Skinner. Even In the Meads Mill cafeteria students have fun at the Homecoming dance.
