Pigskin Prom highlights fall; Sunday funnies draw a crowd Had the Sunday comics suddenly turned to life? Strange characters dressed in the likes of Mickey Mouse, BC, and the famous Peanuts Gang wandered through the halls in Bever- ly ' s first Cartoon Day on December 5. Superman (Jeff Sherman) flexed his muscles through a cast of 20 contest- ants to win first prize. Laugh-In ' s Farkel family, portrayed by Lynne Taub, Linda Freedman, and Jodie Lunine, wound up in second. A capacity audience in Room 111 gathered to watch the par- ticipants exhibit their colorful getups. After the selection of the winners, car- toon shorts were screened to the de- light of the popcorn-munching audi- ence. Marking the success of the football season was the annual Pigskin Prom. A turnout of over 200 people celebrat- ed the Norman football wins in the Sky Top Cafeteria in October. Goal posts and yardlines added authenticity to the decorations. The Pink Elephant, which sounds more like a drink rather than a band, provided musical enter- tainment. Ail of the entertainment, decorations, and refreshments were arranged for by the Junior Class. Sadie Mestman was elected queen while Jan- et Glenny and Ivy Hackett were voted as princesses. The voting by the foot- ball squad added another year to their tradition. ■o c o o 24

' Story Theatre ' relives magical, enchanted tales John Denver ' s song Country Roads filled the Little Theatre with warmth and happiness at the start of the drama department ' s production of Story Theatre in mid-November. Due to its tremendous response from the au- dience, the performance was extend- ed for another weekend. The play con- sisted of a hilarious collection of Ae- sop ' s and Grimm ' s Brothers fables. The 25 member cast was attired in orange and yellow psychedelic cos- tumes that set the mood for the tales. Henny Penny, The Golden Goose and The Bremen Town Musicians were some of the many oldtime fable favorites performed. Mr. John Ingle, director of the show commented, The hardest thing about working on the play was that the actors had to con- centrate on telling their story at the same time they acted it out. Mr. Barry Frost added his talents as technical director. Paul Sills, original producer of the play on Broadway, added ex- citement to the show when he attend- ed one of the performances. The ex- uberance of the audience over- whelmed the theatre. 26
