Q Mrs. Holloway, what comes next? ... Where are we practicing today? ... The wheels fell off the piano again. After over four months and many hours of practice, practice, practice, the night of Dec. 17 is finally now . This is the real thing, there is a gym full of real people out there eating and are they eating. A hundred and some people, Mrs. Holloway said. Three rows of tables ought to be enough. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to ask those of you who have finished to please move to the bleachers so those that are still in line can have a place to sit. We'll try to find some chairs for you. Somebody run to Tote-A-Way and buy spaghetti, bread and everything else we're out of, and hurry, there's 200 more people out there. Mrs. Holloway, when are we going to start? As soon as everyone eats, don't break your candy canes. Such were the thoughts and sounds of the Red Oak Concert Choir's first musical, Godspell. Presented as a Christmas program, the production featured solos, dance routines, special effects and even a spaghetti dinner and good entertainment that over 400 people came to see and' enjoy. The production was directed by Judy Holloway, assisted by Karen Vavra, drill team director, who worked out most of the choreography and taught it to the group. Choir members helped with advertising, decorations and planning. Their parents and the National Honor Society cooked and served a delicious dinner to the guests. Much work and time went into Godspell and it all paid off when it was finally over. Y'all were so good! Thanks, Don't leave 'till the gym is clean. We finally get to eat. Mrs. Holloway, when do we start working on UIL contest music? Godspell 13

Breaker 19-you got a cop on me You're out on a deserted highway at midnight and your car stalls. What do you do? You're driving down the road and you see an accident occur with no phone nearby and victims needing immediate medical attention. What do you do? You have football tickets to the Cowboy game which begins in 20 minutes. You want to see the kickoff, but you have already received two tickets this year for speeding. What do you do? Use your citizen band radio. Maybe these are some of the reasons CB's became a craze in Red Oak, as well as across the rest of the country, this year. They are useful for business and helpful for truckers who found them more of a necessity than a convenience when the speed limit was lowered to 55 mph. Songs have been written about them and the Georgia White Knight. Often shy Red Oak students take on a second personality as they eagerly answer to Shotgun, Sodbuster, Booger Baby, Panama Red, Mulligrub or Camaro Kid as they flash their handle across the air waves. With the increased number of CB's, complaints have been registered with the FCC as they disturb television reception, stereos and radios and have even interferred with instrument land- ings by airplanes. Another fad--is it passing or here to stay? 14 cb's
