Threatening clouds fail to dampen Rebel hopes On Friday, October 22, Rebels awoke to see overcast skies and light rain. During the long school hours, anxious prin- cesses peered through windows in hopes of catching a glimpse of sunlight. In the middle of sixth period the clouds broke, and the final bell rang signaling ''Opera- tion Floats.'' The parking lot soon clear, convertibles, beaded with water, filed in. In the dampness students labored to produce a float for their club. That night on the field, Rebel linemen had few problems as John Marshall failed to score, leaving the first half figures at 14-0. At the half, Connie Shew- bridge, stepping down from her throne as 1964 Maid-of-Honor, crowned her successor, Junior Class Princess Ann Minnick. Sen- ior princesses tensed as announc- er Jay Burke named Mary Jane Brooks 1965 Harvest Festival Queen.

Lengthy discussion ensued since the play offered no major female roles. The choice settled, the Art Service Club began construction of the teahouse. Taking advantage of the seniors’ dramatic talent and ex- perience, director Miss Marlise Bok produced a crowd-drawing comedy of post-war Okinawa. Leading the cast as Captain Fis- by, Ray Hartung ventured a democratic overhaul of the vil- lage of Tobiki. Confusion pre- vailed in spite of assistance from native interpreter Sakini, por- trayed by David Ronick. A pomp- ous observer from the Pentagon, CRINGING at the discovery of his distillery, Capt. Fisby avoids the glare of Col. Purdy (Steve Linas), growling into the receiver. TANGLED cords and shades challenge lighting technician Deb Baggett. Colonel Purdy (Steve Linas), and his psychiatrist McLean (Jimmy Tompkins) completed the cast. In addition to scenery painted by the Art Service Club, a wheel-in jeep, rolling sets, and a live goat named Arlene en- hanced the performance held on November || and 12. 13
