Dreaming The theme to this year's Homecoming was, To Wish is to Dream The dance was held on October 8th in the student cafeteria. All of the activities were sponsored and put together by Senate. Entertainment for the dance was provided by the musical group Gemini. It was hard rock and sorta hard to dance to, commented senior, Mikel McMullen, but everyone had a good time anywayf, Along with our dance, the annual football game was played against the Golden Demons. It was a clean shut out, stated Mike McMullen. It wasn't much like a game, it was more like a disaster on the field for Golden. The score was 51-0 on that exciting October night at Reed Street Stadium. The underclassmen Homecoming attendents were presented to the student body at the pep assembly. The announcement of king and queen was saved until the football game. King Doug Lawler, still in his football uniform, escorted qeen, Julie Chavez, to receive her crown and red velvet robe.

'N -w.....,, ' .1 is sy. ,,,, ff . llhtseftivssf-'iwrswif - By the looks on Ricky Gray's and Mike Amstein's faces there must be confus- sion in the air. Karn Painter and Debbie Shafer just can't believe what Ricky Gray is telling them. The entire cast awaits Mike Amstcin's confession. A.J. Charcst poses seductively. Don McPhee flirts, Gary Anderson kisses, Kim Steinkamp accepts, Gary Dawson leaves, and Katie True smiles. In Disguise This year's fall play, Charley1s Aunt , was another success for the ac- tors and actresses of Green Mountain High School. The play, written by Brandon Thomas, tells the story of Jack Chesney, in love with Kitty Verdun, and Charles, who is equally taken by Miss Spettigue. The two males invite the girls to their room to meet Charley's Aunt. She sends word that she will be delayed for a few days, so under the grip of panick, the boys force a fellow Oxford student into female attire. When the real aunt arrives, problems immediately arise! Mr. Bud Simmons, the drama teach- er at G.M.H.S. and director of the play, said he chose this particular script Be- cause it presents more of a challenge for the cast. It also has a balance of males and females so it gave everyone a chance when it came to tryouts. Char- 1ey's Aunt is also a good example of the English humor that we don't see much of. Mr. Simmons has been at this school for five years and has directed two, to six, plays each year. Tryouts for Charleyis Aunt were held the first day of school and 30 showed up. After the cast was chosen they rehearsed for ap- proximately 90 hours and put the show on Nov. 10, ll, and 12. This year's costumes came from the Oden Theatri- cal Company because of the time peri- od of the play. The cast, with the exception of one, was made up totally of seniors. Karen Painter C121 who played Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez, when asked what she en- joyed most about being in the show said, I liked getting to know more peo- ple and getting closer to the theater department. Another question asked was, 1'Do you and your character have anything in common? She replied, 'fYes. I think both Donna Lucia d'Alva- dorez and I are very outgoing. Ricky Gray C111 who played Sir Francis, said the reason he likes to perform is be- cause it gives him a sense of accom- plishment, it entertains others, and UI can escape into another kind of world that you don't see in everyday life. Mr. Simmons concluded: Students can do so much on their own. When they create something on stage, to me it's as important as what they read and learn in text books. Fall Play - 195
