A Glimpse at the Une-Acts id you ever get the feeling that you were nobody or maybe that your life was just a bunch of short takes? This year's winter One-Acts, Glimpses, Hold Me, and l'm Nobody, were held on January 31st and February lst. They displayed what these feelings were like. They showed the different lifestyles such as high society in the south, dealing with divorce and death. They also talked about being fat, popular, having acne, braces, and needing clothes and money. There was also a short segment on the school system and how it works in that certain community. lt has insight to different view points, said Beth Westbrook, '85. The One-Acts are good for people who aren't usually in plays, said Leighton Christiansen '86, There are enough parts for anyone who wants to try out their talent, but don't want to go as far as the Spring Play. Tears were brought to the actors and actresses on opening night, as the crowd ex- pressed their feelings. As a whole they went pretty good, but on Thursday night the audience wasn't the best, said Tlm Sipes '85. Other than the first night going wrong it was a good experience for everyone involved. I got to meet some really neat people, said Adrienne Storm '87. l had fun doing these and now l'm going to try out for the Spring Play.

A lvlix of Top Hats and Candy Canes I I want a recount, joked Tur- nabout king nominee Jason Gibeault, '86. Don Holm, '88, and Jeff Shoup, '87, probably agree as Matt Crane, '85, reigned as the 'sharpest dressed man' over Turnabout. The funniest part was when Billy Sitz accidentally knocked down the big top hat over the dance floor while dancing. He had to put it back up in front of everybody, laughed Shelly Long- iviueller, '85. Decked out with Christmas lights and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, mini-top hats served as centerpieces with candy canes protruding temptingly from them you could say the cafeteria looked better than usual. The DJ put on a really nice light show, remarked Cris Rabine, '87. We went after the girls basketball game so we ate after the dance at my date's girltriend's house. But what is the best part about formal dances? lt's a good excuse to stay out later than usual, laughed Shelly Lininger, '87. We had a good time eating at the Oakes. They have a huge grill to cook on but there were really too many people there cooking. Others decided to keep the evening within their budget. Julie Waterman, '86, was one of these. We ate pizza over at Dona Loweth's so it wasn't that expen- sive, she explained. All in all the dance was termed a suc- cess by Holms and has proved to be a valuable memory. - Amy Myhre 26 X Turriabout This year's Turnabout court was tleft to rlghti Don Holmes, '88, Jett Shoup, '87, Jason Gibeault, '86, and King Matt Crane, '85. tphoto by Jim McBrldel Gentleman Jett DeCoster '88, and Matt Speak '88, put their manners to use, getting punch for their dates at the refreshment table. iPhoto by Jim McBridel Leading the lirst slow dance with his date is King Matt Crane, '85, and Cathy Howland, '88. iPhoto by Jim McBridel ,usmq 5 Crazy about her sharp dressed man, Martha Tor- res '87 shows oll her date, George QMarkj Hen- niger. iPhoto by Jirn McBrideJ
