Mood is stormy, but sweet Looks like we ' re in for a blustery weekend, folks. There’s a ninety percent chance of rain, and out in the boonies of Valparaiso, you can bet on some wet weather. With a look at the charts, I can assure you it’s going to be a cold, stormy, evening — definitely not a night to go out. But go out they did! In spite of the driving rain, many fans sacrificed a fun-filled evening with Donny and Marie in order to attend a muddy Homecoming game on October 7. Spectators sought the shelter of umbrellas and slickers as they enthusiastically cheered the Vikes on to a 28-0 victory over LaPorte. Halftime festivities were highlighted by the crowning of queen Marissa Ellis. Couples substituted suits and formals for raincoats and galoshes as they prepared for Pep Club ' s annual Homecoming Dance the following night. Hard-working club members were able to transform the South Balcony into Candyland. The scene came complete with The Good Ship Lollipop, Hershey’s Kisses, and candy canes. From 8:00 to 11:00 the group Bushwack supplied danceable music for Homecoming sweethearts. According to tradition, many couples topped off the evening by dining out at various area restaurants, such as The Spa, Red Lantern, Golden Nuggett, and others. 1.

Cast sets scene for Anne Frank For the first time in five years, director Alice Noble elected to perform a serious drama at VHS because she felt that more students possessed greater acting ability than usual. The Drama Club presented “The Diary of Anne Frank” on November 18 and 19 after weeks of rehearsal. The cast underwent intensive preparations in order to present the story of a Jewish family in hiding during WW II. They viewed slides of concentration camps, movies, and talked to a rabbi to better understand the fear and anxiety of the Frank fa mily. Members of the cast practiced sensitivity exercizes, such as imagining the loss of one ' s parents. The purpose of this was to create a sense of family togetherness among cast members. The added preparations resulted in excellent character development and unity. I was very pleased with their performance, Mrs. Alice Noble remarked.
