Frisbee throwing. The other one was a hypnotist. Dan and Sue Ku- chcinski are a couple, and have been the World Horseshoe Pitching Champions for three times. They did various tricks and stunts with Sue's ability and talent as an acrobat, and Dan's skill of pitching horseshoes. They have travelled throughout the United States and Canada and also appeared in Japan. They were on many national television shows, too. The Campus Life Club sponsored a multi-media presentation called the “Champions on December 6. In this convo the students learned to strive to meet their goals in life. This phi- losophy was presented in an enjoy- able way through popular music, slides, and films that they could re- late to. George Hunzicker a graduate of the University of Michigan, was the National Championship of Asso- ciated Athletes. From 1967 through 1972 he was classified All-American six times, and in 1971 he placed sec- ond in the World Trampoline Championship in Bern, Switzerland. The Sunshine Express is a Christian group which usually plays at con- ventions but the sound was very good in our gym. Their purpose is to show non-Christians that Christians can put out some good music, and also to display their God given tal- ent. The whole student body gath- ered in the gym for these exciting events. They got rowdy and enjoyed these convos very much. Above Left—Mark Sorensen and Sherry Brawnu jive to the music.

Guys Dolls MacBeth Company Drama Club along with Thespian Troup 638 presented the musical “Guys and Dolls on April 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. in the high school's commons. Guys and Dolls” not only belongs with that aristocratic society of mu- sicals that have had a run of over one thousand performances, but it is also one of the very best ever pro- duced. It opened November 20, 1950 on Broadway and closed November 24, 1963 for a run of 1,200 perfor- mances. It became the first Broad- way show to be sold to Hollywood for more than $1,000,000.00. “Guys and Dolls” is centered around a little-known Ruyon story, the “Idyll of Sarah Brown , but it was enriched by a horde of Ruyon's typical Broadway characters. Na- than Detroit, Sky Masterson, Big jule, Benny Southstreet, Niceley-Ni- celey Johnson, Harry the Horse and Angie the Ox. All of them are gaAi- blers, and the action concerns them, their girls and their troubles. The chief trouble being the difficulty of deciding between the rolling of the dice and the beating of the heart. There are two love stories, each equally wacky. The first involves the mercurial Nathan Detroit a small but hot-shot proprietor of “The Old- est Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York,” which is, incidentally, the title of one of the most hilarious hit songs in the show. Detroit is definitely, if irregularly, devoted to Miss Adelaide, a night club canary. They have been en- gaged for fourteen years, but their nuptials have been continually post- poned because of Nathan’s sudden need to dash off to Saratoga race track, superintend a particulary fe- verish crap game, and disappears in other mysterious ways. The other romance concerns Sky Masterson, a big time, free living free loving, plunger in others words a hawk as he explains in the nactur- nal “My Time of Day and Sarah Brown the head of the gallant but rundown Save A Soul Mission. Top: Christine Rhoades as Sarah Brown tries to persuade Miss Adelaide portrayed by Pam Zimmerman to join the Save-A-Soul Mission. Cast members for the Spring musical include: Keri Slaby.
