 Sunshine Express Students had a chance to take a break from the daily class rouitine during the convocations sponsored by the Student Council. The first convo was a group called “Sun- shine Express. “Sunshine Express ' a singing rock group, from Cincinnati per- formed for the student body on November 30. It was performance that many would remember for quite a while. The nine young men and women involved the audience and had them clapping and singing along. Opening their program with Play That Funky Music, they also sang a top 40 medley, hits from the early 70's and several songs from the 50's. For the Christmas convocation, the student council presented the movie, The Cross and the Switch- blade. After the movie, refresh- ments of cookies and punch made by the home ecomomics classes were served in the commons area.

Finian's Rainbow —The Spring Musical Several weeks of hard work and rehearsal went into this year's spring musical production of ''Fi- nian's Rainbow . The story concerns an Irishman, Finian McLonergan, who brings his daughter, Sharon to America in search of their fortunes. Finian be- lieves that if he plants a crock of gold near Ft. Knox, it will sprout gold and he will become a millionaire. Finian obtained his crock of gold by stealing it from the leprechauns. In turn, a leprechaun named Og comes to America in hopes of re- turning the crock to Ireland since all the leprechauns have lost their magical powers and are becoming human. Finian and Sharon and Og come to Rainbow Valley where they meet the citizens who are trying to save their land from Senator Bill- board Rawkins. Love blooms and the problems deepen until all is re- solved at the expense of the crock of gold and Finian's theory.
