It was about five minutes un- til twelve noon, and Senior Class President Bob Ramsak was setting up tables at the south end of the cafeteria. As the six lucky candidates took their places at the table, the crowd gathered around, anticipating the commencement of the Mr. Senior contest. Before long, each contestant had money in their designated jar, placed there by the excited spectators, who wanted to see their choice get the pie in the face. The contest Shifting Times HOMECOMING. Helping set-up for the 1983 Homecoming Dance, is fresliman Laura Baio and sophomore Kim Marcusic. Tlie theme of the dance loas Up Where We Be- long . WHITE CHRISTMAS? Being outdoor-, iL ' ilhout a coat was cotnmonplace around the holiday season, as John Raguz illustrates. The Mercury cruised into the 6() ' s ni late Decem- ber. went down to the wire as Sae Chun Choe and Rick Quade both had equally large sums of money to their credit. A hush fell over the room as Bob pre- pared to let the lucky winner have it . . . A quick glance at the clock on the wall would register 7:30 A.M., and the Home Economics class hurried to prepare the doughnuts, hot chocolate, and coffee, for the morning rush. Students were greeted on Mon- day and Wednesday mornings by morning munchies as part of the home economics class ' curriculum. As the bell rang, students glanced at the clock and realized that it was not 3:05, but 2:50, and that it was not the class bell, but the fire alarm bell. It was the third time that week that the alarm had gone off; could this finally be the real thing, or had Johnny cried wolf one more time? Student Life Divider 11

Time consumption? Do you really want to talk about time consumption? In the Drama Club production of Pippin last spring, the phrase time consumption could be an understate- ment. This play took up the time, energy, and the nerves of cast members, stage crew, orchestra, and the director; This show was one of the highlights of my senior year, stated senior Corrie Harding. Try-outs were held in early Febru- ary. Shortly after, the orchestra re- ceived their music, and the stage crew received scripts so that they could get to work on the scenery. The cast began working on mem- orizing lines. This process was not any thing new to the veteran actors of the cast, but to the newer actors, some in their first major role, this memoriza- tion proved to be difficult. Meanwhile, some of the orchestra members were pulling their hair out over the music that was given to them. The music was difficult, and many seventh period band days were spent in the practice rooms learning it. One problem that arose was finding a piano player. Then, one was found: Charles Eversole. The only problem was that Charles held the lead role of Pippin in the production, and so director David Gannon was forced to hire an outside pianist. Meanwhile, the stage crew was bit- ing nails over the scenery. Many props and backgrounds went into Pippin , but once again, the crew handled the situation well, and got everything well organized. Finally, everything seemed to be in order. The many hours that went into the production paid off. The pep-talks, retakes and headaches pulled together in a funny, entertaining, and a profes- sional looking show. Time consumption? It really didn ' t matter, because the cast, crew, and or- chestra were in their element. BATTLE PRAYER. Richard Johnson and Charles Eversole pray for a successful slaughter.
