20 Seniors present mind provoking Sophocles play Little action and absence of scenery helped emphasize the speech and ideas of the Greek play, Antigone, presented on No- vember 15 and 16. Though written by Sophocles in 441 B.C., the play depicts the conflict between parents and their children today. Original music composed by Chris Medrea and played by Dave Lee, Bil Lytle and Mike Bol- lero added an extra touch of newness to this play. Kathy Allen worked so stren- vously that the night before the first showing, she fainted and fell off the platform. Fortunately, she recovered to be at the pre- mier showing. Cast included Kathy Allen, as Antigone; Deb Cohen, as Ismene; Mike Ritchie, as Creon; Jim Brotherson, as Haemon; Michael Freeman, as A Guard; Dan Bair, as Teiresias; Les Sackett, as Eurydice; Tim Calvert, as Young Boy; Jane Stephens, as Mes- senger. Others in the cast were Stephen Gillies, Pat Murphy, Riley Grieb, Lou Taylor, Sue Hill, Teresa Kintner, Pot Mart, Beth Morland, Cheryl Uselman, Libby Holtz, Steve Macumber, Jerry Smith and Clayton Young.

All systems go as Blazer bombs start season Through colorfully painted hoops, the Big Blue bounded onto the gridiron at Rice Field. And from the first kick-off to the final tackle, each second of football action kept Blazer fans on the edges of splintered, dirty bleachers. Neither inclement weather nor the racial tensions surrounding homecoming failed to perma- nently dampen Blazer spirit. Week after week Elkhart was rated 1 in the press polls. Foes and fans alike judged the Blazer team to be as good or bet- ter than the 1 ranked last year’s team. But then came the South Bend Washington game and the Bla- zer’s first defeat (13-8) in their last eighteen games. Upper Right—Through the opposing team's tun- nel, Blazers dash to their benches. Right—Faces of the fans reflect the enthusiasm and spirit the Blazers bring out. Far Right—Bursting through the hoop, cheer- leaders and team head for the stadium.
