I 1 I looked at all my classmates who had been nominated and thought of how de¬ serving each one was of being queen. Then, all of a sudden. Dr. Strickland was standing in front of me — handing me roses and a crown. How did I feel? Breathless, excited, and happy — but, most of all, I felt a sense of real humility that I had been given this honor. Beth Parker Debba Davis Nancy Noble Vickie Carey Peggy Ellis Emma Mills 27

Down in the Valley ' a one-act folk op¬ era by Kurt Weil, and Sour Angelica ' a one-act opera by Puccini, were staged through the combined efforts of the music and theater departments. ' ' Down in the Val¬ ley ' ' featured sophomore Nadine Cheek in the lead female role and Maconite John Cot¬ ton in the lead male role. Also starring were voice professor Norman McLean and ad¬ ministrative officers Ian Hubbard and Don Stanton. Joan Pafford and the square danc¬ ing class performed the barn dance. This was the second time Suor Angel¬ ica ' ' was produced at Wesleyan. Once again, Carol Thurman was magnificent in her role as Angelica, as was alumna Susan Word as the heartless princess. For a little behind- the-scenes information: the Tourieres ' fruit was real, as anyone who tried to conceal crunches of apples, or find trash cans for grape seeds, or a way to wash off the sticky oranges will testify. 5 29
