Trying to light the cigarette ot a party guest, sophomore Andy Whaley, Wal- ter, senior Mark Matheny steadies his revolver. Throwing Axel, junior Tom Bostic and Susan, sophomore Barb Abel, together under such a bizarre incident caused sparks to fly. Don't Drink Fulfilled Allen's Comedy When going to another coun- try how many times has one been told, Don't Drink the Wa- ter? This is the title of the 1978 Fall Play by Woody Allen. The story starts out in the quiet American Embassy, as Father Drobney, senior David Jones, tells about their life in the charm- ing little communist country. All goes well until three innocent looking tourists come in seeking asylum from the communist po- lice. Six years ago, Father Drobney himself ran into the American Embassy seeking asy- lum from the communist police; Krojack, senior Scott Willy, Kas- nar, sophomore Andy Whaley and Nikoli Andrianov, soph- omore Brian Farrer. FJe had two choices; one, he could remain in the safety of the embassy or two, go outside and attempt the big- gest mass conversion in history. If the Hollander family; Walter, senior Mark Matheny, Marion, junior Kim Beasley and Susan, sophomore Barb Able, would have stuck to the usual tourist at- tractions all would have gone well. Through the long days spent at the embassy Axel Magee, junior Tom Bostic and Susan fall in love. Though their hostesses, Mrs. Burns, soph- omore Karen Babbs, and Ms. Kil- roy, senior Lori Campbell, tried to make their stay as pleasant as possible, all seem to miss home badly. Walter mails letters to their son Sethe in a porcelain tiled stove, and Marion goes into a frantic rage of cleaning the em- bassy, thus creating a tremen- dous unemployment problem and driving the cook, senior Hiro Koyama, insane. Escape is con- stantly on all minds. At last the perfect plan is schemed up. To pacify the Sultan of Bashir's al- ready ruffled feathers, Axel throws a party in his honor. At the party for the Sultan of Bashir, junior Jon Fischer and his wife, sophomore Linda Bauermeister, Walter and Marion are to mingle with the guests and leave with the largest group. Party guests are; junior Beth Poffenberger and sophomores Martin Timour, An- gela Deaton and Beth Willy. Un- fortunately, the attempt fails when Walter shoots Ambassador Magee, junior Daryl Deck. Spirits are low with the thought of hav- ing to spend the rest of their lives behind the iron curtain. All seems lost until Axel realizes that the Sultan and his wife are drunk and it would be extremely easy for Walter and Marion to imper- sonate them and escape. Susan is no problem because she will leave under full diplomatic im- munity. Susan and Axel are mar- ried and the Hollanders make it safely back to Newark.

Powder-Puff Females Tie One On A week of spirit days, activities, girls' powder-puff football prac- tices and many after school hours spent working on the class banners paved the way for the 1978 Homecoming football game and dance. Throughout the week Rebels, Indians, hillbillies and pajama clad students could be seen roaming the halls on their way to classes. The students wore their Sunday best to initiate the spirit of the festive week on dress-up day and concluded with an or- ange and brown day. On history, pajama and hillbilly days prizes were awarded to the best dressed students. Many fans gathered on the practice field to honor the team with a bonfire and a pep rally on Thursday evening. On Friday, the ladies took to the field, while the men became cheerleaders during the first annual Powder-Puff football game. Kathy Neal quar- terbacked the seniors to a nar- row 20-18 victory over the ju- niors who were led by Lisa Ritzline. Earlier in the week, students nominated Powder-Puff King candidates, two representatives from each class. Sophomores Kip Kiel and Bryan Perry, juniors Blair Kiel and Glen Spinks and seniors Mark jackson and Bill Redman made up the King's Court. Senior Rick Dwenger, escorted by Di- ana Vickers, was crowned Pow- der-Puff King. On Saturday the men once again had control of the field, dominating both offense and de- fense. Madison posed no threat to the mighty Olympians in the 47-0 victory. During half time, the junior banner, designed by Scott Thelander, won the competition between classes. Also during half time, senior Diane Bauermiester, escorted by 1978 graduate Brian Morris, was crowned 1978 Home- coming Queen by the 1977 queen, Kathy Reedy. Seniors Julie Perry and Diane Vickers, juniors Karen McNeely and Aleta Stam, and sophomores Gina Gooldy and Teri Murphy were the six members of the queen's court. The traditional homecoming dance concluded the week's festivities. Homecoming 17
