Couples Enchanted At Pop Ball Activities It was once again that special time of the year, transform- ing the everyday routine of life into a night that would be remembered forever. Stu- dent Council members met after school until late the night of Friday, February 7 to begin putting together decorations that were built weeks before. After hours of planning, organizing and preparing, the cafeteria and auditorium were ready. The room normally crowded with students eating lunches was at this point a grand ball- room. The auditorium stage, Enjoying the presentation, sen- iors Michelle Stuart, Tracy Casste- vens and Melodee Walker stand on stage together, 18fStudent Life covered with sand, a water- fall and a treasure chest gave the perfect impression of the night's theme: Enchantment Under the Sea. It was a real experience putting everyth- ing together , said junior Student Council member Scarlett Florez. It was all worth it when it was over, though. The 1986 Popular- ity Ball was considered by those who attended to be a definite success. Standing next to the stage, Pop Ball couples wait to have their pic- tures made. tv' I X ,pam xr X ey

l up , 1 I! UI aff nh audience responds to Comedy Production The 36-member cast of The Man Who Came to Din- ner by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman received a well-deserved long round of applause following per- formances in November. The Cast, ranging from stu- dents to administrators and seniors to freshmen was one of great variation and one of the largest that has been put together in recent years. The man who came to din- ner, or radio personality Sheridan Whiteside was complimented greatly by his player, Greg Goldston. While visiting the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Stanley, played by junior Mike McFarland and sophomore Sara Williams, Whiteside falls on ice on their porch and is forced to remain in a wheel- chair in their home for sev- eral weeks. Mr. Stanley greatly protests Whiteside's stay, but realizes later that his word means nothing to Whiteside and his secretary Maggie Cutler, played by senior Nicki Rubio. Among Whiteside's many visitors are four penguins, actress Lor- raine Sheldon, actor Beverly Carlton, Banjo, and a coffin sent from Saudi Arabia. Mrs. Diane Leeman, Thes- pian sponsor and play direc- tor felt it a success: I was really pleased with the out- come of the play even though we lost nine cast members to the no-pass, no- play law . The Drama De- partment replaced these lost members and proceeded to produce a successful perfor- mance. After falling on ice on the front porch, Sheridan Whiteside, played by junior Greg Goldston is carried by Bert jefferson, played by junior Steve Reeves and Dr. Bradley, played by sophomore Richard Hol- ton back into the Stanley house.
