Fall Production: The Curious Savage John Patrick in his forward to The Curious Savage says tliat a play comes to life only when the reader or actor is in sympathy with the playwright ' s intentions. The wrong interpretation of a play distorts its meaning. Over emphasis where none was intended destroys the delicate balance of values and the play then becomes either point- less or in bad taste. The actors portraying the residents of ' The Cloisters, Tara Bidwell, Cam Huffman, Beth Hartong, Jim Horner, Pia Sondergaard, and Debbie Foster, played each charac- ter with warmth and dignity so tliat the audience was able to experience each cliaracter ' s individual apprehensions and ultimate joy. So beautifully was this done that the viewer was soon unable to discern whether in reality the whole outside world wasn ' t crazy and only here in this haven did mean- ing exist. The Link with the outside world, so successfully portrayed by Debra Bozarth, Steve Flohr, and Dan Gid- dens, helped to establish even more vividly the contrast of charaaers while serving as a bridge for understanding were the doctor and nurse-Gary Dillard and Karen Pansier. In truth each did successfully carry out Patrick ' s inten- tions to provide an evening of thought -provoking drama which left many with the feeling that hfe with its com- plexities can be coped with. Mrs. Paddy (Debbie Foster) isn ' t about to say anything to Titus (Dan Giddens) or Dr. Emmett (Gary Dillard) -except the things she hates, of course!

Juniors Use Fountain For Prom Center Although we didn ' t have a lot of time for decorating the gym this year, the class worked together as a whole team and came up with a winning masterpiece for the seniors to behold. One distressing fact was that we were nearly finished with our prom decorations when all of a sudden the rain started pouring one evening, and the next day the gym floor had already begun to absorb water and bubble. We had to change our plans! Panic was not the answer. Using our heads, we came up with an idea which added to our theme even more than our original plans. Avacado and goldenrod streamers formed an aisle that lead all entrants across a flagstone bridge and into the ballroom that might have been one of the ancient past. Prior to the prom, juniors and seniors enjoyed a dinner menu of juice, steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, sal- ad, rolls, butter, sherbert, and iced tea or coffee. Qipping the streamers firmly to the wire is Peggy Stowe. fciwaa ' « ' Look at the busy girls folding napkins for the banquet dinner. Roberta Winters, Jane Winterrowd, and Patsy Gray certainly are concentrating. The center of attraction on the gym floor sunounded four shale paths leading to a three tier fountain. Kathy Sausaman and Darl Hall place the final touches to the center. Carol Graft and Glen- da Chain hand avoca- do and goldenrod streamers atong the cafeteria walls.
