YOU KMOW THEY RE GOMMA LOVE YA! Mannequins sponsor Edward Allen stops to pose by the pond. Rehearsals every Thursday after school were one thing, but perform- ing in front of an audience was differ¬ ent. Dirk. an active mannequin, en- joyed talking about the group. Mr. Allen is a great sponsor. He teaches us everything we need to know, so that we re not nervous before the Show.” Dirk s only drawback was the continuity. ' When youre walking, youre so stiff. The only way you can let loose and be yourself is when you dance.” When asked about his opin- ion of the most talented mannequin, Dirk didn ' t even hesitate: Raquel Conn is probably the best female. Her movements are real defined, and she always knows how to carry herself.” SO If YOU SMILE FOR THE CAMERA (top) Tanya Mascarich, Corwyn Thomas, Cari Milleander, Ehka Stacey, Dirk Milwee, (bottom) Troswa Booker, Melanie Henderson, and Ursula Black.

Let s do the TIME WARP AGAIM! Country and westem singer Ronnie Milsap may think that they ' re lost in the fifties tonight, but the Renais- sance Club members are more likely to be interested in lutes, lances, and lordships. They may even belong to the Society for the Preservation of Creative Anachronism. Interested in Renaissance folklore, lifestyles, music and entertainment, the club has a large following among faculty and students. Several bus trips have been made in recent years to the fest at Plantersville, Texas, near Hous- ton. Closer to horne, another festival, held near Waxahachie (outside Dal- las), is hosted in April and May. Some decathlon teams visited the site after competition was over in April. Although one faculty trip was com- pletely inundated by rain, an anony- mous spokesman for the anonymous group claims that they had a great time trying to find the place, But ali activities were cancelled, so we went to Dallas and ate a bunch — oh, and we found a neat bookstore. Had the group ventured inside the festival grounds, they would have heard cries of Soak a bloke or drench a wench — for only two pence.” Indeed! They did not need to pay to participate in a child s game of dump- ing a bucket of water on another s head. They said they were already washed up. MONEY DOESNT OROW ON TREES. This artisan, a member of the traveling troubadors who demonstrate their crafts at some fifteen Renaissance festivals around the country, Show his audience that minting coins is a tedious process. First, a slug of malleable metal is heated. The metal must be white hof before it is placed in the press. Once the vice is tumed, pressure is applied and impressions are made on both sides of the coin. This money would really burn a hole in your pocket — unless it is cooled in water for about 15 minutes. LORDS AND LADIES OF THE TABLE ROUND. Some of this year s Renaissance Club pose in the student quadrang le. They are Paula Vasquez, Mary Montgomery. Dzung Huynh, Jeremy Jinks, and Sonja Lattier.
