CAST OF SEVEN PRESENTS FALL PLAY “Blithe Spirit”, written by Noel Coward and directed by DeVoe Mann- ing. was performed by the DHS drama department on November 15 and 16. The theme of the play centers around the life of a man happily married to his second wife who is suddenly con- fronted by the ghost of his first wife. The ghost calmly announces that she intends to live with the couple indefin- itely and proceeds to do so. The seven students who made up the entire cast were J. T. Edwards. Jeff Mondlock. Petra Rusev. Laura Snell, Liz Slain. Sara Heckman, and Mardelle Dixon. The fairly elaborate set. which has been said by some students to have been one of the best sets ever used for a fall play, was prepared by the many students of the stage and prop crews. Other crews which allowed more stu- dents to participate in the production were costumes, make-up, publicity, and tickets. 18 Fall Play
