HOMECOMING 78 The 78-79 royal court was ruled by King Tom Hatch and Queen Vicky McClure. Their attendants were seniors David Downie and Janet Kane, juniors Nick Cronin and Diana Nelson, sophomores Pete Seterdahl and Leslie Swend-seen, and freshmen Mike Korengold and Ann Berglund. Three of the Homecoming athletic events took place on Thursday. The soccer team faced a tough Minnehaha team and lost with a 2-0 decision. The swim team was victorious over the Ben-ilde Red Knights, and the volleyball team filled the stands with supportive fans, but was defeated by a good Minnehaha squad. All events were well attended and the teams appreciated the enthusiastic Homecoming fan support. Many alumni were present for the climax of athletic events. Blake's football squad took on Minnehaha's Indians. The crowd of fans cheered the team on to a comeback victory of 18 to 13 in which Blake really succeeded in. Bear-ying the Indians. The half-time parade featured the royalty, cheerleaders, and tloats made by the underclassmen. A few band members from Edina East also added to the festivities. The final event of the Homecoming 78 was the Homecoming dance. This year couples danced in semi-formal attire to the sounds of Cabin Fever. All students agreed the dance was a perfect ending to the week-long Homecoming activities. The 1978 Homecoming was memorable for all involved. The activities inspired enthusiasm and unity in the school. Homecoming— 29

SHAKESPEARE LIVES ON IN A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM The Puck frill, a little fairy dust, and a semi-dark stage were all elements of the opening of A Midsummer Night's Dream, a fantasy with fairies, an ass, and mixed-up lovers. The moment that the flute began to play, the audience was swept away into a night of enchantment. At first, everyone was appalled at the thought of doing a Shakespearean play. As time went on, however, the actors became more familiar with the language and really began to enjoy the play. There were memorable moments, such as Demetrius' declaration of his love for Helena-Forrie goofed his line, but made an excellent cover. I he cast breathed a sigh of relief. In the early days of rehearsal, it seemed as though the show would never get off the ground. The opening scene with Theseus and Hippo (as Hippolyta was affectionately called) dragged horribly. Mrs. Blake joked about cutting the scene. Then, something happened; the scene became exciting! There were problems with the actions. Puck was required to do flips, jumps, and aerial cartwheels, and the lovers had to stage a fight. Although the actors feared physical injury, when the show was performed, they flew through the air fearlessly. The ridiculous antics of the rustics in Pyramus and Thisby, a play within the play, were a highlight of the' performance. The hard work and dedication of the performers and the direction of Mrs. Blake made The Dream come true. Casf Dirc lor leanne E.
