Keep It Alive Spring made one feel like dancing, but dancing for at least eleven hours? Thirty-four people did just that at the March of Dimes’ dance-a-thon held last spring in the Com¬ mons Area. It was sponsored by the Key Club; and although club member Tom Wallace said the turnout was “somewhat disappointing,” Si, 982 was col¬ lected for MDA, enough to pur¬ chase four wheelchairs and send two kids to MDA camp. The Marchof Dimes Walk-a- thon was far from a leisurely Sunday stroll. The 659 people participating put one foot in front of the other and trudged for eighteen kilometers! But the sore feet went for a good cause. $19,120 was pledged for the w alk, and Pulaski County was recognized as having pledged the most money in the Radford region. The Walk-a- thon was also a club sponsored event, this time by the FBLA. “Award-winning was the word for the spring one act play “The Brick and The Rose.” Di¬ rected by Mr. Quesenberry and Ms. Ballinger, the play won re- gionals. Ms. Ballinger ex¬ pressed her pleasure wdth the play by saying, “It was even more than I expected.” Mr. Quesenberrj ' agreed and added, “The cast was very conscien¬ tious and compatible.” YAM was not May spelled backwards or a new punk rock group. It was actually Youth Art Month. During this time, the art students held a student art show in the IMC for the first time in the school’s history, and put up a bulletin board of the Mona Lisa in the Commons Area. Later in the month, Mona received a pair of silver punk glasses. The students also re¬ leased approximately 250 bal¬ loons as a contest to see which traveled the longest distance. Diane Glasgow won when her balloon landed twenty miles south of Petersburg.
