Theme Songs Enhance Performances What does a rose, a gypsy, and a patent leather sneaker have in com- mon? As theme songs for the year the swing choir entertained with The Rose, I Can See It All, and The Old Soft Shoe, throughout their performances. The swing choir, made up of 25 members, grew in size and also in capabilities. Not only participating in Christmas and Spring programs, the swing choir joined six other choirs at the Northrop Swing Choir Spectacu- lar finding themselves critiqued by Walter Lamble from Glenview, Illi- nois, and in the evening performing in front of 535 people. The swing choir practiced at 7:00 in the morning Monday through Thursday each week. Practice was a time for learning songs, dancing, and growing closer to other mem- bers. Not only did they have a rose, a gypsy, and a patent leather sneaker in common, but they also had com- raderie.

■ tATUKElNc iiicney...nc fun Today a person can hardly afford to live. Inflation has decreased the buying power of all Americans. Webster defines inflation as an increase in the amount of money in circulation, resulting in a rela- tively sharp and sudden fall in its value coupled with a rise in prices. All kinds of prices are rising rapidly such as gas prices which continue to rise ap- proaching $2.00 per gallon. We have been warned to slow down on the highways, drive conservatively and use car pools, yet Americans continue to drive single cars. Rising gas prices didn ' t stop people from travelling some distance for enter- tainment. Teenagers really couldn ' t do anything without spending the bucks. Going to movies, pizza parlors, rollerskating rinks, basketball games, football games, bowl- ing alleys and the arcades were the princi- ple forms of entertainment for teenagers. David Dingledork ' s plight typified the economic situation for teenagers in 1981 . Dingledork was an active member of his marching band at Dudley High School. Winning the band fund raising sale by sell- ing the most Cracker Jack, Dingledork ac- quired a $100.00 prize. Finally he had enough money to ask Suzie Stuckup for a date — something he dreamed about all year. The big night arrived and David was ready. He wore his brand new $30.00 Cal- vin Kleins and new $30.00 Izod sweater which left $40.00 for one single night of paradise. Suzie decided that a quiet din- ner for two at Mountain Jacks and then a quiet, romantic movie would be just splendid. David figured two movie tickets at $3.75 a piece would be $7.50, and two Mountain Jack dinners would cost be- tween $20.00 and $25.00 which he could easily cover. No . . . No! First he had to fill his gas tank up which cost $1 5.00 and left only $25.00 for the evening. How could he tell Suzie that he couldn ' t take her to a movie and dinner both? What a dilemma! Amazingly Miss Stuckup took the news very well telling Dingledor k that spending money wasn ' t the only way to have a good time, and she ' d rather see a movie than eat out anytime. The days of the night on the town had passed. People had to make choices about what form of entertainment to choose. BASKIN-ROBBINS IHNiilllliMi W ICE CREAM liNM 28 Feature
