Kathij Supinski, captain of the Debate Team ex- ibite( her eloquence itr speaking during the Mock » ElecftdH Assembly. Kieth VanCuren informs the student body ofZum- wait’s strung points. In a political year marred with “mud-slinging” and slanderous remarks, Vir- ginians unfortunately have proven that we are no different than anyone else. Elmo Zumwalt was given the title “carpet-bagger” and the incumbent Harry Byrd was accused of the occa- sional misrepresentation of his constituates. These allegations, fortunately were made by biased ob- servers rather than by the candidates themselves. This question was debated individually by many people and in an assembly by Kathy Supinski and believed that Byrd’s years in the State Legislature and previous term in the Senate put him in greater touch with the needs of Virginians and made him invaluable as our rep- resentative. VanCuren, on the other hand, thought that Zumwalt, it would seem should be happily accepted as our servent. 29

I I ' I Kicking off the new season of dramatic endeavors was the fall play, “Stage Door.” This was a comedy involving the veteran act- ing ability of seniors: Barbara Kersey, Robert Lauer, Debbie Taylor, Lois Bailey, Denise Airaghi and sophomore Wiley Kidd. The story re- volved around a boarding house and the group of young girls staying there while searching for “The Big Part” on a Broadway play. This situation en- tailed a large amount of merriment as an aspiring young talent, Barbara Kersey, overcame diseour- agement. In summarizing the play, it shonld only be fair to give credit where credit is due. Be- hind the scenes, Mr. Un- derhill and his group of stage crew consisting of Pat Hurley, Bill Taylor, Doug Mller, and Steve Cannizzaro aided in the production of the play im- mensely by constructing the set and working the lights and curtains. Without the directing aid of Mrs. Brady and student director Keith Bouffard, the play could not have proceede d as it did. 1 .- 90 hours were consumed in rehearsal for “Stage Door.” Barbara Kersey and Wiley Kidd were only two of a cast of 30 who toiled through these long hours. Barbara Kersey, a veteran actress of three years, makes a statement startling to her supporting act- ?s: Donna Moreland, Anna Joseph, and Yolander Yarborough. I i “Stage Door” is the first play that Donna Moreland has had a major role in. Critics of the play feel that she displayed great talent. 30
