The cafeteria was decorated in red, blue, and gold. The photographer's backdrop was also made to reflect the theme, At the Movies, with silver film strips in two corners. I The way people dressed wasn't the only change noticeable. Many couples showed up at the dance just as it was starting at 8 p.m. because their parents dropped them off. I wanted to go, and I can't drive, so I didn't mind having my parents take me, said freshman Brent Roth. The Homecoming elections were also changed. The fall sports teams nominated ten seniors and five uniors Doug Lnace and Stephani Hill enjoy a dance together after the Queen's Dance. Chace is wearing his own tuxedo for this occa- sion.

Senior Michelle Noyallis said, This way of voting was picked so no one could say the elections werenlt honest. Restaurants on the Plaza or at Crown Center seemed to be the most popular. The Skies, the l AlCmCd21 Roof, and the Bristol were the favorites, although a few preferred a night away from their classmates. Junior Doug Chace said, I thought about going some place else, but I decided to go somewhere not as crowded. Stephanie and I saw a few people we knew, but generally it was quiet. After the dance, many couples went to parties, others just went home. Senior attendant Jill Henderson said, We went to Mandy Baughmanls house to watch mov- ies because there was nothing else to CJ Kristine Green I! f,4y .or waxes P 2155:-' '- 5'5QE?'4'EIir.-Z5-5l?2?Ef5Ii?f.1:2521:-' . 17 153531:-:I7':2E1i.41-P-ff' ' 'A ' .efrf I 7 - - 51:5zfzfz1132172231111z13221:24:ff2zrrmfnfg:ag:gegsfczfzzgsfsifiz1aff-2z51:52rfrffiZ 4:gfg5g-5 - .

Two The theatre was flooded with light. The audience sat, talking quietly amongst themselves as they waited for the musical to begin. Flnally, the lights dimmed, the curtains were opened, and the stage came alive. The fall musical chosen, West Side Story, has often been referred to as a modern day Ro- meo and Juliet. Tony, played by sen- ior Jim Black, is a former leader of the Jets. He falls in love with Maria, portrayed by junior Missy Roberts. She is the little sister of Bernardo, played by junior Dan Sullivan, the leader of the Sharks, a rival gang of the Jets. Being from two totally differ- ent cultures causes the struggle of love ' over honor in this musical. Jim and Diana Pfaff, from Miss Diana's school of Dance, were brought in to assist with the musical. Mr. Pfaff set up the fight scenes while Mrs. Pfaff choreographed the dances. Without their help the show wouldn't have been as flashy, said senior Jason ' T 1 i totally different cultures clash Rekittke, who played Riff, leader of the Jets. It took approximately twelve weeks to prepare for the musical which was performed November 20 - 22. The tenth and eleventh weeks were practiced without the help of Mrs. Kelly McNabb, director, due to outside I 0 Mi- circumstances. They are the two most essential weeks. That's when you put everything together, J' said senior Amy Gilmore, student director, who took over in her absence. The practice obviously paid off. The former record for one night's performance, 600, was broken Friday night with 620 people in attendance. The curtains were drawn and the lights came on. It had taken a great deal of the cast and crew's time, and it was all over.
