THE HOLY FOOLS PERFORM DURING HOMECOMING Capping off an excellent Homecoming weekend was the Sunday morning Holy Fools Homecoming service in Annie Merner Chapel. The theme of the service was I AM A PROMISE. The Fools per- formed skits such as Nora ' s Story, a take-off on Noah and the Ark, and signed the song For Those Tears I Died. The audience joined the group in the singing of I am a Promise. The service ended with the dotting of the congregation with a dot of clown-white on their foreheads. The service was, indeed, enchanting. Following the service, there was a reunion of current and former Holy Fools mem- bers in McClelland Dining Hall. It was a peaceful end to a beautiful weekend of activities. Teres Brawner, Steve Brune, and Melodie Sparks helped out Head Fool, Nate Bas- sett, in a skit, top.

A Turn Of The Century Party Jane Third hosted its annual lawn party this fall. The hosts and guests, dressed in turn of the century costumes, danced and played games. Those who donned the at- tire and manners divided their time among waltzes and games of badmitton, croquet, bocci ball, and checkers. President and Mrs. Stephens made their appearance in costume.

From October 28 to 30, MacMurray Col- lege was honored with a fine presentation of Frederico Garcia Lorca ' s The House of Bernarda Alba. The play took place early in the twentieth century in a Spain that was immersed in a tangling web of cus- tom, tradition, and religious primitivism. Bernarda Alba, chose to follow these out- moded traditions and forced her five daughters to do the same. After the death of her husband, Bernarda Alba and her daughters, following the traditions, were to mourn for five years. Adela, the youn- gest daughter, rebelled against the pres- sures of customs and subsequently killed herself.
