Seniors eat Act, frolic The Way We Were was the Bicentennial theme ot the Senior Banquet. Appropriately held at the Heritage House, students were invited to dress in a costume suit- able to any of the last 200 years. The entertainment portion of the evening was arranged and directed by Scott Fisher, a 1975 Archer graduate. Events in our country's history were traced through humorous and serious pieces. One frequenter of such functions said that the Ban- quet was the best to come in years. Scheduled during a busy week when money seemed scarce, it still attracted a fine crowd nearly 1 20 persons. Gangster Ron Mills expects a good position In line. He and the others dig right in. Senior Tina Zala enacts a spoof on the Bicentennial Minutes. In a skit depicting life during the depres- sion, Ellen Snouffer, Mary Jo Federspiel, Scott Brewer, and Dan Deputy do a take- off on The Waltons. 26
