Knights' Theater features farce billed as 'A Thurber Carnival' Tipsy gentlemen shoppers, nag- ging wives, and elusive unicorns were all part of the routine when drama students presented the first Knights' Theatre production of the year, A Thurber Carnival. Composed of ten scenes, each taken from a short story by James Thurber, the play was presented in an assembly and an evening show October 30, under the direction of Mrs., Betty Hall Allred and technical advisor, Mr. James Morehead. Some of the more well-known seg- ments in the production included The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Unicorn in the Garden, and The Macbeth Murder Mystery. Because of the large number of characters appearing in the play, most students played several parts. The cast was composed of Kathy Tuel, Cindy Chesher, Cindy Donal- son, Terry Meek, Carolyn Raney, Mike Kyle, Sue Salmon. Kay Long, Carol Warren, Julie Jacobs, Lynn French, Candy Foster, Harriet Hall. Dancing between the scenes was choreographed by Beverly Farmer. Dancers, who also appeared in the play, were Bernard Jones, Pam Lem- mon, Wendy Runnels, Rex Humphrey, and Rick Bayless. Student director for the production was Kay Long. David Turnipseed acted as stage manager, Kathy Tuel served as costume designer.

Elections, spring events stir NW in final whirl of big 6Happenings' Spring elections generated greater interest than usual as students ral- lied to choose Student Council class leaders, majorettes and cheerleaders for 1971-72. Colorful campaigns were con- ducted by the two council prexy nominees, Rodd Nloesel, the winner, and Nlende Snodgress, second girl to run at Northwest in 15 years. Their campaigns inspired a larger turnout at the polls than anticipated after the apathy of school voters throughout the year. Friday night mixers after ball games drew large crowds, and social functions filled the spring months. When first semester grades came out, tradition was upheld when more girls than boys rated straight A's for the fourteenth straight semester. Dogpatch Week, the Prom, club picnics were followed by the final whirl of events.
