Puttin' on the Ritz at the Plaza reamy and danceable describes the 1985 Junior-Senior From which took place on April 19 at the exclusive University Plaza. Dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns, everyone fit the theme, Puttin On the Ritz A Formal Affair. Juniors and seniors danced the night away while the band, Boy Next Door, created an atmosphere of magic and romance. This dreamy atmosphere had Laura Marsh under its spell. TProm was definitely my most memorable moment from senior year. Laura went on to say, TWhen I look back on high school, I'll always remember Senior Prom and Scott, who made the night so special. To pull Prom off without a hitch was the juniors' job; one which they did well. Said Elizabeth Woolsey, TWe worked long, hard hours finding the right place and earning the money, but the end result was well worth all the time.

Although Jim had experience directing, it was not with such a large group. TI thought it wouid be a real problem directing my friends, but they helped a lot. i had a great cast, commented Jim. Jim's previous acting experience consisted of minor roles throughout high school, and the lead in Godspell his sophomore year. Jim played the part of Jesus. Jim's directing experience consisted only of Reader's Theatre. However, this Reader's Theatre group captured lst in the district and 5th in the state with his cutting from Flowers for Algernon. All this experience paid off Jim's senior year when he was presented the Player of the Year award by the lntemational Thespian Society. Jim enjoyed directing and felt he gained more experience being in the director's chair instead of being the actor. TDirecting the play was great. I hope I'll be able to do more directing in the future. 1i The federal agents have arrived. The tough guys are played by Neil Tenbrook, Dave Ponder, and Pat Quinn. 2i itLook everyone!
