Success for the Drama Department I( takes a long time to make up a cast of 50. “H’ard Blair, my ancestors was not worms! Not Here, Karen Kirineic gets her share of the torture. blobs of jelly neither!” “We used to be good Friends once. What hap- pened? Why have you moved so far from me?” Drummond replies, “All motion is relative.” After Drummond has cross-examined Mr. Brady. Matt finds comfort in his wife; “They’re laughing at me, mother.” “No they’re not, no they’re not.” The curtain arose on April 21-22 to a vibrant performance of “Inherit the Wind”. Ths success of the production can be claimed thru the efforts of Miss Ann Burgdorf, dramatics director, assisted by Miss Dorothy Christoff and student director, Sara Gilman. The plot revolved around Bert Cates, played by Dick Good a biology in- structor on trial for teaching the theory of evolution in the public schools of Tennessee. The colliding lawyers, Ma- thew Harrison Brady and Henry Drummond were played by Karl Linden and Phil Lengyel, respectively. “The Wizard of Oz” was also pre- sented with Cindy Blackmun portraying Dorothy and Pat Lavery as her dog Toto. The cowardly lion was enacted by Jeff Gubitz with Dick Good as the heartless Tinman and Mike Siebielec playing the part of Scarecrow. Linda Anderson portrayed the wicked witch of the North and P atti Finley was Glinda, the good witch. Miss Ann Burgdorf, director, and Miss Dorothy Christoff made the play a success. At a revival meeting, Bert Cates is condemned by Rev. Brown; “Let him feel the terror of the sword! Let his soul writhe in anguish and damnation.” “Cynical? That’s my fascination. I do hateful things for which people love me and lovable things for which they hate me, says Horn- beck.

A Greatly Transformed Commons Blossoming flowers, chirping birds, and sparkling ponds all contributed to the mystical magic of “Moonlight and Roses”, the first Junior-Senior Prom for Munster High School. Under the direction of Ron Gyure, junior class president, committees worked tediously to transform the school commons area into an old fashioned garden. Upon entering the door, couples found themselves amidst a garden of roses. The picturesque scenery along the walls was dimly lit, allowing for a romantic atmosphere under the glittering stars. “I could have danced all night” was the feeling of many as they waltzed around the refreshing pools, occasionally pausing by the glimmering water wheel or the dreamy wishing well where every wish came true. The Johnny Nowlan orchestra coin- cided with the decorations by adding soft music to the beauty. On sweetheart trees hung hearts with each couples’ names, which were taken as a keepsake to add to the cherished memories of the fantasy land of roses. Mike Stimak and Cincy Stone make wishes at prom’s wishing well. Photographs courtesy of Hi-Fi Photo- color Studio. At the magic hour of eleven o’clock, the Grand March took place. Pete Davis, Roberta Peterson, Ron Gyure, and Barb Jankura enjoyed the event.
