Video Ph en om on en The use of home entertainment systems was becoming more and more popular this year. Many students could be found listening to stereo headphones which played both radio and cassette tapes. These headphones were not always found in school. People wore them to pass time at work, while shopping, and studying at home as well as in school. The popularity of these was still growing. Home video recorders were also growing in popularity over the past year. Much of this resulted from the rising costs of attending movies. Many people of all ages enjoyed these home video recorders because of the various tapes that could be purchased or rented. Another form of home entertainment that became most popular was the Atari video game. These took the place of bowling alley games and the popularity of pin-ball machines quickly declined. There were many different cartridges available to be purchased that allowed a person to play various games at different skill levels. Home entertainment has grown during this past year and will probably continue to grow in the years to come. This Page: Top Left: Buck Rogers, one of many pinball games found in this area.

Hello Dolly! Cun lav CAST Hi ya Toots! “Put on your Sunday CAST clothes” so we can take you “Dancing” through “Hello Dolly.” That’s Dolly Levi ......Kim Bednarcyzk right, just “Call on” us “Before the Horace Vandergelder . Rick LaReau parade passes by” because it will Irene Molloy ... Sarah Cederberg “Only take a moment.” You’ll see Cornelius Hackl ...Joe Brueske why “It takes a woman” to do the Minnie Fay ........Sue Lhotka “Motherhood March.” But if you’re Barnaby Tucker ....Chris Metz not ready for fun, we’ll say “So long, Ermangarde .... Sandy Jacobsson Dearie” before you waste our time. Ambrose Kemper .... Ken Cheney This year’s musical was “Hello Ernestina Money . Stephanie Weiss Dolly,” which consisted of a cast of Rudolph ....................Mark Koch 29. Altogether there were approximately 150 students involved with Cathy Anderson Donn Berke the play, through the crews, and of Lisa Bromen Brian Boggs course the cast. When asked what he Carol Genetti Paul Bonin thought of being in the musical, Rick Shelley Houston Jim Ewing (Horace) LaReau said, “Being in the Molly McGonigal Brent Fourre musical this year was probably the Holly Nyberg Pete Lund best way to finish P.C., it’s what I’ll Kathy Seydow Doug Martinson remember most.” Gina Wilson Mark Nygard There were many obstacles to overcome in order to perform “Hello Stunt Waiters ........Pete Dahl Dolly.” First of all there was one less Pete L’Allier week to prepare than usual. Next, Mark Springer there was a heavier dependance on choreography and technical scenes. Of course, there was also the health factor. For example, Kim (Dolly) Bednarcyzk lost her voice and had to perform with a microphone for the 5th grade performance. Other cast members also caught flus and colds. The directors, Mr. Anthony, Mr. Nordberg and Julie Hanken all put in hard work and lots of extra hours to get the job done. When asked about his feelings on the outcome of the play, Mr. Terry Nordberg said, “As in other shows, there were certain ‘concerns’ to handle along the way, but by curtain time I felt the play reflected the very best the crews, orchestra, and cast had to offer.” Then Mr. Ed Anthony was asked what he was going to do once the musical was over, he said, “I will reintroduce myself to my family, get some sleep, and start work on the holiday concerts.” TOP: Dolly explains to the cast that she is a versatile woman.
