Ascending Stars Air bands, dancers, singers and Maurice Johnson-what could this be? The talent show, of course. The show, co-ordinated by Mrs. Sar- acino, featured a variety of acts. Two air bands performed, one poked fun at Boy George: the other imitated Judas Priest. The most humor- ous act had to be the Glimmer Twins, a parody of disco-dancing in the seventies complete with gold chains and polyester suits. The In- mates returned with a hot set of U2 songs. Maurice Johnson provided the humor and kept the audience in line by reminding them that he knew where they lived. Piano soloist.

Halloween Spirits Ghosts and goblins? Well, maybe not, but a bear on a unicycle flashed around campus and even a tricycling Charl ie Brown was spied. Halloween itself held the costume judging contest. The winner ' s circle included Monique Moxey as a nerd and a mutated Mr. Owen who appeared to have spent too much time near Jeff Folsum. Last, but not least were the men of the sea; Steve Mamber ' s pirate. Randy Barnes ' Captain Crunch, and Old Spice man, Joe Weigand. The annual pumpkin judging was divided into two categories, the pure pumpkin and the pumpkin plus. The pure pumpkin category was for all standard carvings and was won by a grimacing pumpkin from Mrs. Climes ' class. Pumpkin plus was the category for those who wished to add props or decorations to their pumpkin. This category was taken by Mrs. White ' s class with their version of Mr. T. Mr T knocks out the others in the homeroom pumpkin carving contest. Women wait for Joe Weigand to come home from the seas. To bee or not to bee Anyone need a hand? asks Brenda De- barko. Hey. Linus! Throw me the ball! 24 Halloween

ASB Ball Rocks All Night Long The Regency Ballroom of the Hyatt Islandia was the site of the traditional ASB Ball. The students danced to the sounds of The Mon- sters and Music As You Like It. The theme of the dance was All Night Long by Lionel Ri- chie. The decor was simple and sophisticated with white tableclothes, flaming hors d ' oeurves, and bright lights. Tables were set around the dance floor for tired dancers to rest their feet and sip fruit punch. Stuffed mush- rooms and a variety of desserts were a few of the hors d ' oeurves that were served. Elegant dresses and tuxedos filled the crowded dance floor until twelve o ' clock when all went home full of memories made that night. Mmmmm, those look good! , comment M. Meyers and Mike Fitzsimmons. Lisa Hunt and her sharp dressed man, Steve Asselin R. Miller and K. Melcher dance to the sounds of Music As You Like It. 26 ASB Ball
