ta acccceect without really trying Giving it their all Bob Jones and Jeff Casey perform the number The Company Way”. MAIL ROOM In a scene, the cast is throwing a par- ty after work. Doing a duet. James McNeely and The musical, ‘‘How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying,” was playfully described by its cast as a mad scramble to the very end.” Yet, as most things go, the scramble resolved itself long enough to put on a worthwhile performance. “The set wasn't completed until just before the show,” said Jim McNeely. “Everything went wront that could have. But, despite it all, it came out alright.” Vandalism, which resulted in destroying a portion of the set and the quitting of some of the crew, caused many problems behind the scenes. Many of the cast members did the scene changes themselves. Some skillful adlibbing was needed in some parts of the performance when a few of the props fell down. When a desk fell, both Jim McNeely and Jeff Spencer strategically interjected in their dialogue, “Those darn scrub women!” (The accused scrub women were part of the show.) Alicia Wise who played the sultry vamp didn’t have too much trouble with her costume. She said, “I loved wearing the towel!” Jess Casey who played two parts, had some fast costume changes backstage.

For four hours, lec- tures, films, displays and events concerning the African culture were made available. Art projects by Linda Erlacher’s Westside Junior High students in- volving African masks were also on display. Another aspect of Africa is its brightly col- ored and intricately designed fabrics. Dr. mary Oyer gave a lecture on the different fabrics and other materials Africans use to adorn themselves. Ms. Peg Presser and her PEP students from Pierre Moran Junior High demonstrated projects they worked on involving African music, climate, region, and art. Probably the most popular of the presenta- tions was the contem- porary Kenyan dancing. Sally Andiek, a student at Goshen College and a Kenyan, demonstrated dances in the gymnasium. Students discovered that the African culture might have more in- fluence on them than they were aware. Said one student, “Some of the dances really weren’t that much different from the ones we do on Saturday night. On African Culture Day. Sally Ondiek fakes a little time to show some students how to do a Kenyan dance. examined, Showing students that African dances are not that easy is Sal- ly Ondiek. a student at Goshen College.
