4' 'J S.. Santa delivers A soft blanket of snow cascaded over Thornwood on December 10, to set the scene for the annual Girls' Club Father-Daughter Banquet. Daddy is my Santa Claus, the theme chosen by the Girls' Club members, provided an ideal opportu- nity for daughters to show their dads just how much they were ap- preciated. BKLB catering service furnished buffet style dinner to all banquet go- in the Snow ers. After an enjoyable meal, daugh- ters and their fathers danced to mu- sic tapes supplied just for the special occasion. As always, the Father-Daughter Banquet was successful in proving to the girls that their dads can be ideal escorts. With snow flakes toppling outside, the evening came to an end, leaving a special memory in the minds of all who attended. Z' f ,ii f Top Left: The Father-Daugher Banquet is a chance for Thornwood girls to share the evening with their fathers and to remember special moments in their lives. With the sweet sounds of music drifting through the air, Kimberly Parks and her father hold in a warm embrace as they sway to the slow melody. Above: The round tables set up in the cafete- ria gave the girls and their fathers time to sit and chat among themselves and with other friends. Eagerly waiting for the music to be- gin, Lynda McClain, Sharon Wagner, and their fathers admire the bids which were cre- ated by the Girls' Club members.

The ld West comes alive Cowboys, saloons, bad guys and good guys, the minister, and his wife - all characterize an old Western town known as Gulfer Gulch, the setting for Thornwood's fall play, The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch. The farcical tragedy told the story of a town bum who changed into a rhinestone cowboy. Through the mystery of his death and rebirth he gained power in the town. Because of his misuse of this power, the townpeople hated Sneaky Fitch, who was eventually killed by the se- ductive saloon girl, Maroon. Directed by Ms. Celeste Mazor and Mr. Richard Menozi, and assisted by student director Judy Sasuta, the cast of Sneaky Fitch had quite an endeavor in preparing for opening night in only three weeks. Handling the technical aspects of the show, Mr. Robert Nerius experi- mented with a unique approach in designing Thornwood's first see- through set. Mrs. Claire Boyce and Mr. Ken Reed took charge of the many additional details: conces- sions, publicity, ushers, the ad book, sound effects, and box office. After many enervating hours of preparation the crews and cast were finally ready to perform. On October 16, Thespian Troupe 795 and Komm Arts Klub presented Sneaky Fitch for their traditional Senior Citizen's performance. On the fol- lowing nights, October 17 and 18, the old West came alive. i I S over the town. throw the town ruler, Sneaky Fitch. celebration of Sneaky's death. the West, he is forced to leave or be killed Gina Geletaka.
