CARNIVAL atmosphere invites Summer Fun The 1983 prom, despite the rumor of a money problem, was a success. Mr. Tamecki stated, ”1 don’t know how the rumor got started because we had enough money and lots of workers.” What they needed was more time. It seems like it comes around so quickly,” said Adviser Tamecki. The theme of the prom was Summer Fun.” With the carousel at one side and a beach scene on the other, the carni- val atmosphere was produced by the 35 juniors who prompted the evening’s success through decorations. The ex- citement grew as Roger Lauver and Lorie Long were crowned king and queen for the evening. When ILOOp.m. rolled around, every- one went home to change for the post- prom, which was in the style of a sock hop. The movie Fast Break” was shown in the auditorium, while the band Chance played in the field house for those still wishing to dance. The prom was so well attended, and the cafe was filled with happy people! It was great! I loved it, and the decora- tions were SUPER!” exclaimed Jo Eck- rod, who not only attended the event but also had helped with the decora- tions. I loved it.” (Top) After their crowning, King Roger Lauver and Queen Lorie Long happily reign over the festivities of the prom.

Students perform under BIG TOP Once again, under the direction of Ellen Saxton, Shikellamy took to the stage with the spring musical, Bar- num.” The events of the show were built One Brick at a Time to make the show a success. Construction of the Big Top was due to hours of time given by Mr. Dan Saxton and generous parent volunteers. Perhaps the biggest assignment was given to P. T. Barnum himself, por- trayed by senior John Rorke. His most difficult task was to master walking a tightrope suspended nine feet in the air. This eventually proved to be the most tension-filled moment for every- one during the performances. Another important part of the musi- cal was the clown troupe. Many of these young actors worked long, hard hours to master the art of juggling. There was also a group of midway clowns who entertained the audience before the show started. Some mem- bers of the cast even attended gym- nastic classes to acquire the skills needed for the tumbling acts. Graduates return HOME The orchestra, directed by Shikel- lamy graduate Miss Billie Jo Baylor, was seated in costume in the back of the BIG TOP. On hand to help in various capacities, graduate Brian Fatool put the cast through vigorous warm-up ex- ercises.
