Talent enchants evening Excitement and disbelief were two emotions that must have been going through Dar- lene Washington's mind after she was announced May Queen at Parents Night. I was really happy they waited until after the entertain- ment to announce who was queen, because the show real' ly made me relaxed, com- mented Darlene, May Queen. Laura Pannitto was named Maid-oi-Honor. Enchanting Moments was chaired by Allison Nidetz, Lyd- ia Ward, and Laura Gyllstrom. As a new form of entertain- ment, Girls' Club put on a tal- ent show. Parents Night was really fun, because the enter- tainment was good. I thought it was just going to be announc- ing the queen, stated Lori Wroblewski, May Queen court member. Try-outs, held prior to Par- ent's Night, were open to all students interested. We had a tremendous response from the student body, and we will probably continue with the tal- ent show from now on, com- mented Mrs. Edythe Strater, Girls' Club sponsor. Moments were enchanting for the more than 100 parents and daughters who attended the event. Above: Posing as Alice in Wonder- land, Tom Smucki does his humorous interpretation for the talent show.

For the first time NHS mem- bers sold candy and with the money earned they put on a Thanksgiving dinner for 30 senior citizens, who enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and dessert. The time we spent with the senior citizens really meant a lot to them, and it made the NHS members feel pretty good too. Mrs. Black- stone and the members worked hard to make it a bet- ter Thanksgiving for a lot of people, stated Michelle Pur- cell. All NHS students went carol- ing to bring a little Christmas cheer to senior citizens in local nursing homes. T SCOT conducted a Christ- mas good basket drive that benefited needy families in the area forty full baskets were col- lected this year along with 5250. Brian Marsicano, scoi president, stated, The baskel drive was a huge success. Par- ticipation increased over last year, and there were even people who went door-to-door collecting food and money dol nations. Getting involved with holif day activities broke the monof tony of the ordinary school day. l t
