Seniors Scoop Juniors ., The girls played very well togeth- er and overall they made up a Well- balanced offensive and defensive team, commented Head Coach Rick Dolejs, after the senior girls soundly defeated the juniors 19-0. This was the fourth annual Powder-Puff Foot- ball Classic, which was held at Bedford High. In a reversal of roles, the varsity football players became coaches for the girls. The practices began about a month before the big game, for both sides. We practiced on the average of three days a week. The practices usually started after the varsity prac- tices and lasted until dark, remarked Assistant Coach Mike Valenti. On the other side of the field, the junior coaches also worked their girls hard. The lack of experience was our only problem, but we held our own in the game, recalled Iunior Quarter- back Doreen Goga. Both benches held praise for the officials. The referees were very good, I personally held no complaints against them, stated Iunior Coach Chuck Barna. The game was dominat- ed by the seniors. We could have scored more except for a couple of mental mistakes as we neared the goal line, remarked Coach Rob McClelland. During the game, both teams used all of their players. We made sure that each girl recieved a chance to play because they had practiced for it, commented Chuck Barna. MAKE-WAY.

By transporting an unsuspecting audience to the living room of the zanny Sycamore family, the Thearts Society performed the stage magic that the group is known for in the These problems and more had Dra- ma Director Mary Ann Costa on the verge of pulling her hair out, but theater people are tough, which Costa seems to prove over and over again. l Hudience Takes It With Them fall production of You Can't Take It With You. But the audience did not see any of the hard work put in by the cast and crew members that made this dramat- ic production the highlight of the fall season. At any given time of day one could sneak a peek into the auditorium and find someone hard at work. Tasks ranged from the endless rehearsing of lines to constructing one of the most elaborate sets that Thearts has had in sometime. Some members put in as much as a fifteen hour day and sacrificed sleep on Sat- urdays to come back to school and work on the set, which incidently re- ceived its finishing touches five minutes before the curtain rose. There were also all of the usual tasks like gathering props, buying, begging, and sewing costumes, and organizing the crew for make-up. Problems always seem unescapable, like certain tools and props which turned up missing, resulting in Thearts members, teachers, and custodians patrolling the auditorium area every minute of the day. At least the set wasn't vandalized by an arsonist this time! Another drawback this fall was the behavior of the cast. stated Costa. Even after working so hard on the set during rehearsals in general, T members seemed to have an extra abundance of energy which ended up causing distractions like talking, dancing, and general havoc backstage. Objects would fly across the stage during a scene and a rubber creature resembling a fly somehow found its way onto the dinner plate of actress Vickie Kunkel, sending her screaming off stage. Iunior Doug Merk attributed the constant hi-jinx to a small and extremely close cast who had worked together over the last few seasons. But, said Doug, they were also an extremely talented group which enabled them to pull it off in the end! Sooner or later, the positive pre- vails, and as dress rehersal and opening night drew near, everyone was transformed once again into a professional. Senior Vaughn Hays, who made his acting debut as Wilber C. Henderson said, I loved being in the play, the cast made me feel as though I had always been in Thearts. W TOTAL CONFUSION. During a hectic moment, the fireworks of Mr, Dipenna CTim Frickj be- gin exploding. This was probably the funniest moment in the play, remarked Doug Merk.
