Fashions on Parade Is Qtyle Theme Priscilla Royer modeled an A-line skirt for school wear. A white blouse brought out the unique contrast. During the style show, everyone enjoyed refreshments and commented on the delightful and creative fashions. Fashions on Parade was the theme of the Home Economics Department ' s spring style show, held in the cafeteria. As the approximately 200 persons arrived, they were served punch and cookies. Using the bright background of starred paper from the prom, the girls walked between the tables model- ing their garments. Approximately 130 girls from eighth grade through the senior class participated. Anne Ride sewed her own yellow sheath dress for gradua- tion. Accessories of a white purse, heels, and orchid gave a spring touch to the atmosphere. ■: ir j Jr ? ■ 22

An Evening of One Acts Ma-Melba Parrett, Caroline-Susanne Guttrich, Arthus-Keith Graham, Pa-John Schultz. Not pictured: Stage Manager- John Ferrier, Beulah-Cindy Shaffer. ' Impromptu ' Man, since the beginning of time, has sought to de- fine life. Tad Mosel in his play IMPROMPTU seeks to find some answers to the question: what is life? by putting four characters on the stage and asking them to merely improvise a play. Perhaps the au- dience came to some of the same conclusions which the actors shared. Mrs. Crawford-Becky Grossman; Miss Rowena-Tara Bid- well; Helen Crews — Lola Keffaber; Haney-Mike Clarkson; Alma Jean-Mary Swank; Cutie — Judy Meyer; Ralph-Dennis Mobley. The Happy Journey THE HAPPY JOURNEY, a story of a family ' s journey from Newark to Camden, New Jersey during the days of the 19.30 ' s, presents a delight- ful and realistic look at everyday life. As he does in OUR TOWN, Thornton Wilder again em- ploys the stage manager who takes the place of several characters and who looks on the action with an observant eye; as is also typical of his works. Wilder asks the audience to use their imaginations as he instructs the characters to pantomime much of the action. Emest-Tom DeArmond: Winnif red-Debbie Bozarth: Laura-Teresa Meek; Tony-Cam Huffman. The Midnight Caller ' Life in a boarding house in Texas seemed to be very stale, uneventful, uninteresting for a re- tired school teacher and two young clerical workers until two unusual boarders joined their company. For the one brought with her a ghost from her past — a ghost still very real who became a nightly midnight caller. A story of both humor- ous and tense human relationships, this play gives one insight into the complexities of life.
