'Wild, Wild West' Spurs Talent Roundup The roughness and excitement of yesteryear were once again brought to life as the class of 70 presented The Wild, Wild West at the annual Village Varieties on March 6 and 7. Traveling West in search of adventure with eastern dudes Andrew (Scholberg) and James (Wall), Villagers gained a glimpse of frontier life through dancing acts, a piano duet, songs, and skits. In a suspenseful pantomime featuring Phil Carruthers as the villain, Karol Knutson as the heroine, and Scott Gydesen as the hero, the ever present dangers of the old West were further portrayed. Special guest appearances by the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Hoss and Little Joe, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid also added to the entertainment. Revealing a bit of the beauty of the Old West, Diane, Sue, and Becky make up the dance trio of Suzy's Floosies. Finding that the traditional rain dance fails, Indian maidens Bev Villella and Cherie Olinyk go mod. Appalled at James' answer of a beer is a beer, the cowboy trio attempts to set him straight.

Peaking from behind their brooms, the pom pon girls present another side of Frosty. Peering into the distance, nine little sophomores Frosties search for a mate to make it eight. Sno-Daze Warms Chilled Spirits Despite its late start in December, Pep Club rallied in the eleventh hour and once again came through to sponsor the second annual Sno-Daze at VHS during the week of January 26-31. In a week of intense rivalry between classes centering around the theme of Frosty, students competed for valuable points, all finally to be compiled to determine which grade's representatives would be crowned as Sno-Daze royalty. Among the new additions to Sno-Daze activities this year were the broomball tournament and the afternoon polka jamboree, which provided a few hours of relaxation from the competitive spirit evoked by the other events. Reigning as king and queen at the end of the eventfull week were sophomores Rick Lewko and Karie Thomas, while the class of 74 once again triumphed in the junior high as Steve Schmutzer and Kathy Osterberg were crowned prince and princess. Topping off the week's activities was the Sno Ball, at which couples danced to the music of The Medium. 16

The lowering of the brightly lighted sign and the opening strains of Cole Porter selections signal the start of the Pop Concert. Shocking the audience with their indecent exposure, John, Mark, and Steve revive memories of Skinny Dippers 1890. Folk singers Carol Sherman and Jeff Sowden philosophize on the topics of stamp-lickin', lunch toters, and hors d'oeuvres. It's time, it's time, it's time ... ! Yes, Pop Concert time had once again rolled around at VHS on the nights of April 30, May 1 and 2. In a program featuring pop tunes including Cole Porter numbers, selections from the hit musical SWEET CHARITY, and the award-winning Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, the band members displayed not only musical talents but their adeptness in many other fields. A return performance of the infamous An-dorian Philharmonic Wind Ensemble, original folk songs, and the world premier of Skinny Dippers 1890 were designed to tickle the audience's funny bone, while toe-tapping dance numbers and a free style acrobatic routine by State A.A.U. gymnastics champion Leslie Henry represented the more serious efforts of the group. As a result of the Pop Concert, the remaining financial needs for the band's summer trip to Atlantic City were met. Questioning band girls impatiently await
