EY!! 395.7-,5Y,,, Moreau's 1983 Fall Drama production was Harvey, a comedy by Mary Chase. Set in the 194O's, Harvey is centered around Elwood lf Dowd, a man with a 6 foot plus invisible rabbit, Harvey, as a friend. Elwood lives with his sister, Veta Louise Simmons, and he daughter, Myrtle Mae Simmons, both of whom would like to send him to the sanitarium to end their embarassment. Veta goes over the Chumley's Rest, the local sanitarium, to have Elwood committed. There is a misunderstanding, however, and Vet ends up committed instead. Everything gets more confusing from that point, but ends happily, with Elwood, Veta, Myrtle, and Harve all going home to live peacefully, maybe. Directed by Mrs. Catle Laufer and student director Mia Shandera, Harvey production began in October, and, after much har work by both cast and crew, Harvey opened for the first of its five performances on December 2. There were only a few minc problems, such as the opening night run-on appearance by That Black Cat, demanding recognition for his first year at Moreau After each performance, most of Harvey's cast and crew would go out together to relax and unwind. They would gather for parties a homes of cast members, or go to public places such as Farrell's, making heads turn while still wearing stage make-up. Enthusiasm for Harvey prompted Mrs. Laufer to form a Drama Club for those wanting to learn more about and get involved i various aspects of theatre.

11 During a Moreau half-time show, Greg Biela and Mike McCrossen play a solo. 21 Showing-off her clarinet playing is Helen Sheridan. 31 Despite being plagued by the heat, Dori Tehada still manages to play and march easily. 41 The brass line takes-off with Beth Johnson at the rear. 51 The awesome Mariner drum line takes-off on some notes, 61 Being a hot drum line requires lots of practice. 71 The Mariner color guard perfects some of its moves. 81 During a two-day band camp, Joanne Vanden Broek and Heidi Adrian learn some new moves. 91 The Mari- ner band at practice shortly before performing at Cal State Hayward. 101 Lisa May, Keith Van Wetter and Paige D' Angelo await the beginning of the St. Anne's Parade in Union City. lGlenn1 if if Band Goes Through Changes This year has been a very difficult year for the Mariner Band and ' Color Guard, partly because of the change in directors and the loss of many principal players. ln the wake of Gary Gilroy, the former director who helped develop the band and guard into a respectable musical group over the past four years, newcomer Donald Moore tried to hold the band in its tradi- tional placing in the top four bands in the state, but was finally re- placed by the more successful Daniel McCrossen, a graduate I of the class of 1983, who was the director for the last two weeks be- fore the band's final competition the Music Bowl. Under the miracle-working of Daniel McCrossen, drum major Margaret Stevens, drum in- structor Scott Johnson and col- or guard instructor John Mor- oney, the band and guard were given solid leadership and instruc- tion and managed to place eighth out of 23 at the Clovis Band com- petitions. Playing at a rainy and muddy Music Bowl at Logan High School in Union City, the band made finals finishing ahead of sev- eral bands that were formerly placing ahead of the Mariners at the beginning of the season. AI- though credit is due to the instruc- tors, much of the credit is due to the members of the band and guard, who despite all odds man- aged to overcome the overwhelm- ing obstacles that faced them at the beginning of the season. Other leaders include drum line leader Mike Pangelinan, color guard captain Annette Mergel and Assistant director Patrick Mester. lGlenn1
