On Saturday evening, 15 October, the Pep Club sponsored the annual Homecoming Dance. In the week preceding the dance, candidates for the attendants and royalty were se- lected and voted on in secret ballot by the entire student body. The 1983 Queen was Mary Jo Henn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Henn. Michael Spieker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Spieker, was the 1983 King. Decorations for the dance were multi-colored pastel streamers, ac- cented with silver and white, and re- flected in the facest of a revolving crystal” ball. Music for the occa- sion was provided by Sounds of Your Kind of Music. The 1983 Homecoming theme was “Forever Starts Tonight,” from the hit song “Total Eclipse of the Heart.

The Pirates revived a 50 year old play, “A Ready Made Family,” by Jay Tobias for the 1983 season. The perfor- mances in the fast-paced, if somewhat predictable, farce delighted both the youthful matinee and the more mature evening audiences. In summary, Agnes Martyn, a widow, met an old sweet- heart, Henry Turner, a widower, and they became en- gaged. Neither told the other of their “dependents” at home. The families, having heard of the big surprise, planned to upset the martimonial applecart by acting their worst before the prospective bride and groom. The result was fits, baby talk, a “barbarous brat,” a klepto- maniac, and a hypocondriac. Thrown in were one neu- rotic aunt, a “talking” portrait and two hysterical black domestics. After merry mayhem broke loose, Agnes and Henry emerged victorious and the families accept- ed the situation, happily. Sterling performances were turned in by the entire cast. Best Actress and Best Actor Awards were presented to Jackie Daly and Ken Leifeld, respectively. The play was directed by Miss Petrina A. Miller LIND'S HOME FURNISHINGS GRAHAM MOTORS.
