Queen Anita Hall takes a sip of soup during her evening of royalty at the Dec. 5 Madrigal Dinner. The days of King Arthur and his court were brought to life at the traditional holiday dinner presented by the Madrigals, At the 22nd Annual Madrigal Dinner on Dec. 5 the members of the Madrigal choir and their performing guests took their audience back in time to the days of King Arthur. In those days noble men and their fair maidens would come together to eat Boar ' s Head and sing songs. A change from the past where the traditional dinner had been held in the Hall of Fame, this year the event was moved to Room 98, the Studio Theatre. The dinner was quite a success with over 130 people coming to watch this festive affair. This record-breaking audiance was entertained by the Madrigals, Windsors, and the Trebletones and the guests were catered a roast beef dinner from Laughners. To make the dinner complete there was the crowning of the Madrigal King and Queen, which this year was Anita Hall and Greg LedfOTd. Four former Madrigals and the parents of present Madrigals, Mr. and Mrs. Shrum and Mrs. and Mrs. Hogan, entertained the group. Solos were also sung by Madrigals Heather Clark, Karie Hon, Greg Ledford, Kevin Patterson, Eric Adams, Sheila Duffer and Daisy Nauroth. Being Queen of the Madrigal Dinner is always going to be a special moment to look back on, and having my best friend as King made it even more enjoyable, Anita said. King Greg said, I was very surprised getting King of the Madrigal Dinner. The food was great and the entertainment was tops in my book. Anita was a great reigning queen. Some of the songs enjoyed were Here We Come A Wassaihng, We Saw Three Ships, Carolling, Carolling, and other traditional Christmas Carols. The combination of all these factors made the evening a very memorable one for both the audience and the performers. What would the Christmas holidays be like without this lovely musical event?

Rainbow Club takes over Christmas Dance from Cheerleaders and has big success with record attendance Walking down the hall to the foyer, music drifted outward and a sense of excitement filled the air. Excitement of the Christmas season was felt by all those who attended the Christmas Dance. In past years the varsity cheerleaders sponsored the dance, but according to Ms. Cindy Taylor, There are too many sports events scheduled this year for us(the varsity cheerleaders) to have the dance. I was quite relieved when Mrs. Ludwig and the Rainbow Club offered to sponsor it. Music was provided by WEDM, and pictures were taken by Tower Studio. Festive decorations included the traditional tree, a new addition of lights strung across the foyer, foil and paper snow- flakes. The beautiful tree lights added sparkle to the dressy outfits of the dancers. Junior David Sweet, activity co- ordinator of the Rainbow Club, said, I was afraid of what people would think of the decorations. I ' m just glad people liked them. King of the dance was senior Keith Williams, and senior Tammy Huffman knew the excitement of the setting when she was announced Christmas Queen. Members of the court also included seniors Scott Dcnzio, Lisa Preston; juniors Steve BalUes, Kathy Anderson, Rick Bacon, and Tony Owens; sophomores Ronnie Huffman, Kim Weaver, Craig Bymaster, and Jessica Punches. Tammy said, At first I was surprised, ecstatic, and then sad.. .because I ' m moving. It made me realize how many friends I have.
