In the District meet, Kent Dirschell and Dave Tuttle were Regional qualifiers. Dave continued winning in regional competition and went on to the state finals where he finished in the top eight.

Jody Schultz, Jim Fry, and Beth Geishert were three of the 12 committee chairpersons who represented state committees. Joe Wright and Lewis Temples were elected Lt.

The News Focus class worked very hard to help 45 families have a Merry Christmas this year. Students solicited funds in the school hallways and from mer- chants. They also sponsored a turkey raffle and a pizza raffle to make money for the project. A great deal of support for Pro- ject Christmas comes from the community, not only through donations, but also through many hours of volunteer work. Com- munity Night brings people of all ages together to put the finishing touches on everything so that deliveries can be made. Project Christmas has become a year-round effort providing help for those who are less fortu- nate. It has become such a vast undertaking that the United Fund provides an annual subsidy to aid the organization in its endeavors. 83 Hilarity and Homicide Are Subjects of Fall Play The classic American comedy about murder and mayhem, Arsenic and Old Lace, was the dramatic presentation of the Quincy Society for the Performing Arts which premiered in December.

The cast included Kim Brickey, Gerald Englehardt, Lenny Wal- lace, Sam Bonham, Kurt Schultz, Cindy Baker, Cindy Taylor, Dean Briggs, Jeff Williams, Steven Rollins, Marty Fahlen, Jim Rollins, Darryl Lovell, Jeff Wells, and Chris Wolfe. 84 Melodrama Features Mustache-T wirling Villain Egad, ihe Woman in White, the spring play, is a melodrama in which love and poetic justice triumph. The production encoun- tered the usual difficulties plus the necessity of recasting two roles with only three weeks of rehearsal time left. Jerry Englehardt and Mike Kling successfully took over the parts so the show could open on time. Also, Jeff Williams suffered an injury to his leg, thus hampering his usual backstage work, but Chris Wolfe and Jeff Wells moved in to help Jeff with the technical situation. The cast: Lenny Wallace, Linda Beckwith, Jeff Wells, Kim Brickey, Marlene Middel, Mike Kling, Beth Geishert, Vicki Beck- with, Gerald Englehardt, and Cindi Baranouski. The play was directed by Mr. Walczak who was assisted by Karen Fryer. 85 Slush and Mud Doesn’t Dampen Tip-Up Fun On February 7, 11 junior and senior girls, all Quincy High School students, competed for the title of 1976 Chain of Lakes Tip-Up Queen.

It began with the traditional parade and ended with the drawing of raffle tickets on Sunday afternoon. Tip-Up Island was classified as a disaster area due to slush and mud caused by the January thaw which came in February. Less than ideal conditions did not deter the huge crowd of spectators and participants though. 87 Oriole Week Swings With the 1950’s (1) Miss Oriole candidates Linda Aiken, Terry Loveberry, Debbie McVicker, Teresa Rubley, and Jody Sours in a marshmallow eat- ing contest during the Oriole Week pep assembly.
