EVENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS 3 fp! x it C: 43 lvl To keep the spirit going, Cheerleaders came up with creative ideas to get people involved at pep assemblies. Here two masked students are the lucky candidatesg At a pep rally, the cheerleaders expertly demonstrate their latest pyramid. T i IIIIWIINIE Illf 'UI SIDIIIT in 'S he year of '85-'86 saw an increase of spirit at Salpointe Catholic. Though always known for its ex- ceptional spirit inside the school, new op- portunities were found to make Sal- pointe's spirit known outside the school as well. For example, several courageous Sal- pointe students joined in the school's first Academic Decathlon team. Said one team member, We were all very ex- cited, because we knew we were starting a new Salpointe tradition. Some stu- dents even followed others and formed new organizations, such as SADD- Stu- dents Against Drunk Driving. David Na- gore, '86, felt that it brought a new awareness to the Salpointe community. Before, I'd never seriously thought about the hazards of drinking and driving. Oth- ers came together to support specific causes, as when raffle tickets were sold to benefit the Suicide Hotline, and at Christ- mas, when the separate homerooms came together to donate food and gifts to families in need. Enthusiasm ran so high that some homerooms held contests to see who could provide the best Christmas ever. Spirit was also evident in the whole- hearted participation of the suudents in Key Club functions such as the Blood Drive and Pennies for People, in which about a thousand dollars were sent to the hungry in Africa. Even the Band contri- buted- several of its members won awards for their musical ability. De- spite all the added energy put into com- munity spirit, none was taken from the in- school activities- in fact, if anything, it was improved. The life, energy, and en- thusiasm were all brought together and shown at the pep assemblies. Ted White, '86, and Pam Parmoon, '86, became the Homecoming King and Queen at one of the more spirited assemblies. Mike James, '86, and Theresa Mansour, '86, received the title of King and Queen of the St. Paddy's Day Court. Kim Dytko, '87, thought the idea of the new court was exciting, but if they intend to continue it I think they should make sure the King and Queen have reg- ular terms, like the Homecoming Court.'l The Poms, with their new and exciting routines, helped to make assemblies even more lively, as did the cheerleaders, who performed new cheers and pyramids. Even spirit week was a tremendous suc- cess when compared to the last few years. Many people dressed in Hawaiian clothes, wild hats, togas, or plaid to show their spirit. Exclaimed Michelle Fimbres, '86, Spirit Week was a big success! It definitely brought out the spirit in everyone and in the school. The school year of '85-'86 was a most memorable and enjoyable year for every- one- thanks to the spirit of the entire student body, both in the school and in the community. The generosity in fun- draisers and drives never seemed to stop. The pep assemblies never seemed to lose their spirit. And the students never seemed to loose their enthusiasm. DA WN K WADER

EVENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS I an Patti Zlaket, '87, gives a convincing perfor- mance as the cool and mysterious Miss Casewell. IDIIAII A t llZQl!Q195pxtIUIDIDIEID fall play delivers chills hodunit? That was the question in everyone's mind at the Poorman's Theater's fall production of the longest running play ever, The Mousetrap. This Agatha Christie thriller was both humorous and suspenseful, demanding the audience's attention throughout the performance. One aspect that was notably unique was the absence of main characters. The cast consisted of eight people, each with equal parts. The characters were Mollie and Giles Ralston, played by Suzi lmes, '87, and Mike Tearne '86, as the couple who ran Monkswell Manor Guest House, their five guests, played by lan Beutler, '88, Alysia Gray, '88, Dave Schnur, '87, Greg Ferro, '87, and Patti Zlaket, '87, and the detective, played by Jimmie Gyuro, '88, The audience turnout for The Mousetrap was exceptional. According to stage manager Kyle Wade, '86, Usually the fall plays don't have as good a turnout as the spring plays, but this year that wasn't true. lt started a really good season, said Zlaket. The mystery's surprise and uncertainty kept the viewers alert. I could tell that each audience got really involved with the plot. commented sound director Karen Gruber, '88. There was a remarkable closeness between the cast, crew, and the director, Mr. John Dadante. Mr, D, as he is affectionately known, demanded perfection and would not accept second best, according to Gray. He affected my life, commented Zlaket. John Dadante also made it all a learning experience. Said lmes, For someone who had never been in a play before, he was very understanding, and he taught me a lot. All who watched were amazed at the cooperation and the smoothness of the play. The cast seemed to be like a big family, everyone worked great together, noted Lisa Foran, '88, I thought the play was very well put together. lt had a certain quality about it that was enjoyable, said Rachel Quebedeaux, '88. lt was, as she said, an eyecatching production.
