Although many Seniors worried that the Prom would be cancelled due to lack of funds, the juniors solved their financial difficulties by sponsoring two car washes. Couples arrived at the downtown Marott Hotel, Saturday evening, May 3, after dining at elegant restaurants. Pale blue and yellow, along with the sensational sound of the rock group Apocrypha, set the mood for an enjoyable evening. After the coronation of Joe Preda and Ellen Kennison as Prom King and Queen, several people moved to the dance floor to begin a night of fast and slow dancing. Early Sunday morning, tired Prom goers awakened to sunny weather and traveled to different state parks to indulge in chicken, ham sandwiches, cokes, and other beverages. Hiking, horseback riding, and basking in the sun filled everyone's afternoon. Cars were loaded for the return trip home, and the 1975 Prom became nothing more than Photographs and Memories. igliiklikikikikihikiiilikikil + it 5 F I S .. . .rr - ,- . 9? sr Qi? 2 ' 5 . 1 .W I .:g..-::f.j-gy K -mv'--. i -.. re .r i iii tiiiiit i 2 g i junior class President Erin Pierce announces the Prom King and Queen.

Six weeks of nightly rehearsals proved worth- while for the May 9 and 10 performances of Fiddler on the Roof. Cast, crew members, and pit orchestra delivered two spectacular performances, both receiving standing ova- tions, in spite of a few technical difficulties including a mishap with the grand curtain during the Friday night show. The breaking of century-old jewish traditions and the oppression of minorities were displayed in this musical through the character of Teyve, a poor dairyman, and his family in the fic- titious Russian village of Anatevka. Backed by a talented chorus, strong performances by the leads Tevye fBrad Grayl and Golde fLela Patel, their daughters Tzeitel fDebbi Smithj, Hodel fTerri Foltzl, and Chava fTracy Nelsonj and the girls' husbands Motel tMony Chasej, Percheck tlon Richeyl, and Fyedka lSteve Pruittl made Fiddler one of Speedway's finest musicals. Highlights of the show included a hidden Skip Schro- lucke elevating the ghost Fruma-Sarah Deb- bie Grahaml in the dream scene and the candlelight wedding of Motel and Tzeitel. This production was complemented by the dance routines of the entire chorus chore- ographed by SHS graduate Iill Schurr, hard- working crews, and the devoted efforts of music directors Mr. Al Spangler, and Mr. Bob Wise, and assisted by dramatics director Senior Cary McCormick. ::r::r:n::s:1r:s: iiiililililfliiqj Few people realize the number of students involved in the production of a rnusicall Bill Fox adjusts Kenny Marsh s beard.
