The family consists of Count (Bryon Buck) and his wife Letha (Heidi Fischer) and their beautiful daughter Dirga (Julie Smith). Thinking that Buddy Ford (Robert Lad- son) is a member of the famous Ford family, Letha tries to get him interested in Dirga, while keeping the rest of his friends lost. And so starts the adventure of “Boys and Gouls”. “They were a wonderful cast and working with them was a lot of fun. They seemed to take their parts very seriously which helped to smooth out the normally rough parts of producing a play,” said Mrs. Barr, director. In the musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, the plot once again included the hopeful prospect of marriage, but this time it had seven brides and seven grooms. Adam (John King) must find a bride to take care of him and his six brothers, so he sets off into town to find a bride. He then meets Milly (Heidi Fischer) and mar- ries her. Upon returning to his cabin, Mil- ly finds out that Adam does not live alone. To help take care of the brothers, Milly helps to set up six girls with Adam’s brothers. What ensues is madcapped chase and a curious wedding. “We had a large number of girls that turned out for try-outs, so we just split the girls up into two groups, one perform- ing Friday night and one performing Sat- urday night”, said Mr. Pace, director.

The band ‘Illegal Procedure.' Juniors Amy Lewis and Roger Webb gaze deeply into each others eyes as other couples sway to the music around them. rom theme forgotten Couples filed into the Holiday Inn in Warsaw to find themselves surrounded by peach and silver streamers and bal- loons. The floor sparkled with sprinklings of glitter. The band, Illegal Procedure, played from 8:00 to 11:00 pm. Lisa Huffman said, “The band was great, but they should have played the theme.” The theme “ Will You Still Love Me?” by Chicago was not played. This caused dis- sension among some prom-goers. Despite the fact that the theme did not get played, many people enjoyed the prom. “The prom was very elegant and nice. I was very impressed. I had a great time, but I’m kind of sad since it is my last one,” commented Stacy Loer. Appetizers were served downstairs near the pool. Mr. Miller said, “The food was nice. The valet parking added to the elegant atmosphere. The dance floor was rather small and that was a drawback because the main reason people go to the prom is to dance.” New English teacher Miss Merrit re- ceived responsibility of organizing the prom. This became her major duty as a junior class sponsor. Along with her com- mittees she put together a prom that Darci Jordan and the majority of other students and teachers described as “ great!” -| Q Ready For The World JlO Student Life
