Noise Resonates Gym One of the new, bright stars on the Cleveland rock and roll scene, American Noise, rolled into the Sullivan Gym on January 10. The group's first album, featuring such songs as Anyone With a Heart (Can Tell Ya) ' and Take It All” had been acclaimed as one of the best albums of 1980 by many radio stations throughout the country. Based on this information and the hope of the student body for a major concert, student council decided to sponsor the event. Secretary Chris Golonka along with social functions commissioners Doug Staresinic and Bill Horning spent many long hours arranging and preparing for the show. The concert, which was publicized by radio station WMMS, began at 8:00 p.m. after a lengthy warm up performance by The Catch. American Noise then played their hearts out before the excitedly expectant audience and thrilled them with their high powered brand of rock n' roll. When the final notes of the last encore, “Baba O'Reilly' faded away, the group had contented everyone and were appreciated with a standing ovation. George Sip) of American Noise appears to be beating his head against the microphone. In reality. he was just intensely performing 2 2 January

I I I I I I Students Defy Scrooge December, the Christmas season. During the month students were able to both give and receive. The Canned Food Drive dominated their thoughts as they gave in record amounts, feeding over 200 families. The joy of giving and the general good feeling was more than enough payment for the nearly 100 students who conducted the drive. Entertainment was also provided in conjunction with the drive in the form of the annual faculty-senior basketball game, won by the seniors in overtime. Perhaps the best present received by the school was the beautiful singing of Australian folksinger Seona McDowell who thrilled the audience for two shows. The sports teams were also entertaining as they continued winning. Especially exciting was the basketball team's victory over perennial state power Barberton. Juniors and seniors really got into giving as over 75 of them gave their precious blood on the twelfth. So although the student body gave their time, money, and blood in preparation for the holidays, they in turn received joy, entertainment, and excitement. December 2 1
