Chicken of the Sea, John Stuart as Neptune is waited on by his mermaids, Rhonda Bur- din, Pat Clancy and Holly Haines. Meekly awaiting the call for a slave, Gay Matthews looks at the guests. Behind her the other slaves hide. Trying to please Mr. Crotty, slave Andy Schuschereba offers a tray of deviled eggs. Food with LATIN BANQUET Although the slaves may be sometimes embarrassed, it’s all in fun. Each year the Latin Club sponsors a Latin Banquet. This year’s theme was “Neptune’s Palace”. Nep- tune is God of the sea in Roman Mythology. To fit this theme there was a “fishy” cake and the decorations all per- tained to sea life. The theme varies from year to year but tradition holds fast. Members will wear togas as a sign that they are superior to the slaves in their simple tunics. This year’s slaves anxiously await the time they can be the masters of the next group of slaves.

Foreign Flare ORIENTAL BANQUET They eat oriental style. The Fresh- men all study oriental culture so what better way is there to study than to do? That’s what the banquet is all about. The students dress in kimonos and eat with chopsticks while what one student described as “weird music was played. The Students make the decorations and food with Mr. Gross keeping a watchful eye on them. Our very own Oriental Peasants, Jeff Buck and Steve Arqui- ette try to look authentic. There’s a lot to talk about and be confused by oriental ways, as Kim Goodine (front) and Cathy Coogan (back) discover. In proper oriental dress Kim Goodine and Joe VanGorder admire their classmates art work. 27
