A Timely Test “A severe test or hard trial” defines a crucible. It was indeed quite a test for not only the characters in the show, but also the actors and actresses who played these characters. Director Gretchen Heath chose to do The Crucible for the winter show, feeling it was time for another serious drama that people could relate to their lives. The story was based on the true facts of the Salem witch trials in 1692. These facts tell the story of a restless group of young Puritan girls who pretend they are afflicted by the devil’s witches. Many innocent people are forced to confess to witchery or be hanged. The girl’s leader, Abigail Williams, (Deb Streeter), is in love with John Proctor (Todd Hanson), and so accuses his wife, Elizabeth (Jackie Horner), of being a witch. He fights to show the court official, Mr. Danforth (Phil Darg), that the girls are frauds by making one, Mary Warren (Tammy Olsen), confess that they are all lying. The Reverend Hale (Bill Cavanagh), an expert from a nearby town, and the Reverend Paris (John Elsen), of Salem watched the terrifying shrieks and mad behavior of the girls in the chaotic court scene with horror. The audience was left with a feeling of deep respect for John Proctor who was hanged because he would not confess to what he had not done. The audience was also torn by the injustice and by the thought of how something similar could happen today. Other characters were well played by Patti Becker, Lisa Brandt, Karen Chandler, Sandy Cloutier, Erik Dickovich, Mike Dols, Peggy Fursman, Chuck Hennen, June Jin, Mike Lindquist, Wina Mortenson, Loren Sawatsky, Mark Streeter, and Diane Welty. Juniors Terri Flasch and Ken Gellerman were student directors. The actors and actresses had to study the background of the real Salem witch trials. They practiced authentic Puritan posture and speech to make the show as realistic as possible. Actor Erik Dickovich commented, “It was really demanding doing such a serious show, but everyone managed to have fun too.” Winter Play — 29

Changing Chaps “Hi, John. This is Sue. Um ... would you like to go to a movie with me tonight?” Chances are, not only did John go to the movie with Sue, but he probably accepted her invitation gladly. Things have changed since “Sally, Dick and Jane.” It wasn't surprising to Cooper students to see guys taking Home Economic courses in cooking and sewing or to see girls learning drafting and doing shop work. Other changes were noticed in the halls as well. Guys started wearing clogs and necklaces which were once thought to be only for girls. Girls wore pants suits with blazers and had their hair cut stylishly shorter than was once accepted in our society. Girls were recognized in sports like swimming, basketball, skiing and track. Guys became active in cheerleading activities like the Jockettes and the Dirty Thirty hockey cheering squad. The changing of roles could be noticed out of school as well. Girls were being hired as baggers and Stockers in grocery stores like Lunds and Country Club Market. They often could also be seen as paper carriers. Some guys chose to be cashiers, waiters, or office personnel. Do these changes mean that males and females will eventually switch roles all together? Probably not. It only means that our children may not know the meaning of separate roles for the sexes and equality will become the norm, not the exception. 30 — Feature
