Mesalia?l That's what happened when Sheridan Whiteside descended on this unsuspecting town, disruclating lives, romances, and aily routines. Kaufman and Hart's com- edy hit The Man Who Came To Dinner was presented Oct. 24, 25, and 26 at East building theater. The first all-school pla of the year was directed gy Mr. Dave Shriver, with the aid of student director Val Geyer. Formerly the Senior Class Play, the cast was com- posed largely of underclass- men, with So homore Bob Coleman in the lead role of Sheridan Whiteside.

Both the king and queen were voted for at the door and announced during the dance by the pres- ident of the Student Council, Dean Wolfe. Escort Dave Glenn, on her left, was first to congratulate her. LUG IDE ayton's Convention Center became a home- made heaven for the 1974 junior and Senior Prom.

Four male strea ers sprinted across the lighted lawn of East buildin while students boardeg the buses. Rain poured at Le Sourdes- ville Lake as the after- prom activities got under way, but the unwelcomed pre- cipitation did not dampen spirits. Until 5:30 a.m. couples scrambled from ride to ride and from shelter to shelter. Couples dragged them- selves rom the returning buses to their cars and head- ed home for an early break- fast. The ones that lasted throughout the entire event spent the following after- noon soaking up t e sun at Hueston Woods.
