Niteclub Sells Out Again by: Christine V. Carlson The 9th annual Nightclub Tonight was another hugh success for the Performing Arts Area of PHS. The yearly fund raiser, held March 7 in the cafeteria, offered the audience a Mexican dinner, catered by the New Mecca, provided a live show put on by students, and wrapped up the night with dancing to a D.J.'s tunes. 375 people paid S8 to be seated in the cafeteria for this sold out event. Dinner was served by students, acting as waiters and waitresses for the evening. By 8:30 the show began. Richard Watkins, the Master of Ceremonies, intro- duced the acts and entertained the audience with his jokes. The acts featured students either singing, dancing, or doing comedy skits, A chaser band entertained between acts. After the show, D.J. Miguel Soto played records for the dancing pleasure of those remaining, until midnight. Mr. Orrin Cross and Mrs. Sharon Van Nest put together this special night. Students were selected to keep the show going. Stage Manager Paul Nelson kept the technical part of the show moving, while Evette Castillo served as maitre d' to the guests. This year we had a D.J. rather than a live band, which seemed to work very well, considering the number of people dancing, commented Mr. Cross, after the night was over.
