We're ff to See WZ To everything there is a season. As the last summer sun set beyond the horizon, and the leaves dressed themselves in gold and orangish red, the thing that was for Autumn was the fall musical, The Wiz. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, There is no time like the old. But the Tech music depart- ment found itself straying away from tradition. This year's musical, The Wiz, adapted from Braum's classic The Wizard of Oz was performed in the fall. Traditionally the musical had been given in the spring. The directors felt that having the musical in the fall would in- sure a large tryout and enough committed cast to perform The Wiz. The casting of the play also took on a unique twist. The Scarecrow and the Tin Man were played by females. When l found out l had gotten the part of Scarecrow, l was ecstatic. Playing him was a real challenge, commented junior Lorei McGee. D'Ondra Col- eman who played the Tin Man added, The hardest thing for me to do was hiding my feminine characteristics, especially my voice. Three performances were given: one to the student body as a matinee, and a Friday and Saturday performance before a general audience. From the moment the spot lights hit the stage until the last curtain call, the cast was transformed from mere high school students to citizens of the Land of Oz. Au- dience member, Jackie Easley commented, l felt the acting was very professional and l lov- ed the colorful costumes. Mr. Paul Prather, one of the direc- tors remarked that The Wiz was a 'fun' musical for the kids to do. Allison Brinkley who played the part of Dorothy said. The most thrilling moment for me was during my last song, Home. Listening to the words as l sang them gave me the energy to do my best. After the production was over and the cast members went back to everyday life, they were left with a feeling of contentment and a little sadness. Maybe feeling as Dorothy did during her song, Home - living in this brand new world might be a fantasy, but its taught me to love and that's real to me. Each cast member felt a little bit closer to the others. l'm evil with everyone today is what Tracy Cameron is feeling as she prepares to hang Edwin MacDonald after he brings her bad news. Members of the Wiz cast have their own Amen corner during the spirited song, Y'All Got lt? performed by Steven O'NeaI. ,L,',.,,v.4i-, 1- .M V, V. -1. .. .ti ,, - ,T ., L! -, b 14 Fall Musical

Thank You For FRIE Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall. All you've got to do is call. And l'll be there, yes, l will 'cause you've got a friend. This Carol King song, perform- ed by James Taylor, could have been written about the new at- titude Techites had toward one another. No longer was it necessary for most Techites to belong to each other in a romantic way. Many found that a friendship could withstand more than a romantic relation- ship and was less demanding. Also, unlike a romantic rela- tionship, friendships included anywhere from two to several people, and friendships involv- ed the same or opposite sex. Friendships were chosen over a romantic relationship for various reasons. For some, a friendship provided support, other friendships provided companionship, and still others were simply for group iden- tification. Regardless of the reason, and despite some of the hardships friendships en- During a home football game, senior Michael Curtis and juniors Gilbert Reid and Kevin Knowles, freshman Jerome Valentine and sophomore Kenneth Davis find that because so many of their friends came to the game there is standing room only. Flutists Amy Grimsley and Angela Smith experience the sharing that comes with friendship as they perform at a home basketball game. countered, friendships were vital to Techites. Not only on Tech's campus was friendship the new craze, but also throughout the country. Friendship was even a universal theme for songs and television shows. Stevie Wonder's song, l Just Called to Say I Love You, illustrated that friendships do not have the demands and strains that rela- tionships have. Some of the most popular shows on televi- sion, Miami Vice, Cheers, and The Golden Girls had friend- ship as the underlying theme. New interest in friendships did not completely do away with serious relationshipsg however, many realized that friendship was an important part of a relationship .....4.,...Y..4.......A.... ....... ..--....... ..- .. ,m:gmee--.-..--2?- -rm4fe-:ifT:t-ex- --1rfL-fTf:n- f-M A - - 1-:T----w --1--.: --,.. 1- - - - ----nf -- - - - - Friendship Feature 13
