Seance conjures deceased wives in ‘Blithe Spirit’ This year’s all-schoo! play opened in the midst of unknown mysticism and high spirits. BLITHE SPIRIT was presented early in February. The first few weeks of rehearsals were characterized by frequent ‘‘between the lines’’ interpreting, cokes from Sandy’s, and late journeys to Bonnie Doon’s to see the “‘lady in the box’. During the last few weeks, the atmosphere changed to one of serious memorization of lines and intense characterization. BLITHE SPIRIT is a farcical look at what happens when the deceased wife of Charles Condomine, John Marsh, returns to haunt him. It unfolds as Madame Arcati, Peggy Blair, conducts a seance to make con- tact with the ‘‘other side,’ in spite of the skeptical attitudes of Charles’ wife Ruth, Chris Carney, Dr. Bradman, Jim Nichols, and Mrs. Bradman, Carolyn Currey. The remainder of the play concerns the trials and tribulations of Charles as he attempts to convince Ruth that Elvira, Becky Semenak, has indeed re- turned. The plot takes on new complexity when Ruth is killed in a car booby-trapped by Elvira. Fi- nally, both of Charles’ wives return to haunt him, and how the spirits fly . . . to say nothing of vases, paintings, and furniture! MADAM ARCATI, Peggy Blair, expresses pride and pleasure at having summoned the late Elvira Condomine. IN AN ATTEMPT to excorcise the ghosts of both Charles Condomine’s wives, Madame Arcati goes into a trance. ay v3 lp. Ce

Mistletoe, Vespers highlight activities of winter months Winter was accepted at Mishawaka High School, as elsewhere, with different reactions from everybody. From some there was only apathy. Others reacted with emotions ranging from complete hate to a love expressed on the ski slopes or on the Mishawaka sledding hills. Winter brought the annual Misteletoe Ball with its beautiful formals, distinguished tuxedoes, and expen- sive dinners. Winter also brought the yearly Vespers program after a week of stretched vocal cords and arms tired from being held in one position in a tableau. Christmas brought joy to many after a trip to the neighborhood Santa Claus, and to others after an evening spent in worship, celebrating Christmas in their own way. Winter, however, was not received with joy by all. Those who were faced with a two-mile hike every morning and afternoon to and from school despised the slippery sidewalks and knee-high snow drifts. Winter brought stalled cars, clumsy boots, and frost- bitten noses seemingly only to those who hate snow. Winter brought all these things, and was received with joy by some, with sorrow by others. For some it was a time of awakening, for others a time of hiber- nating, waiting for spring and their awakening. SENIOR DON EISWALD shows his enjoyment for the winter season by skiing on the slopes of Swiss Valley in Michigan. ACAPELLA CHOIR: first row: K. Cunningham, J. Eller, S. Torian, D. Van Rie, S.
