K ' ' -... X x Q 1- -f if Cavaliers Fall d Over Heels For Bones ! On Nlarch 11, 1970, even the sun turned-on to Cleveland's first out-of-sight, mind-blowing, heavy, hard rock happening. Activity card holding Cavaliers massed into the football bleachers to experience Cleveland's first pop fesitval. Bones performed a fantastic pro- gram of various originals. Head over Heels, however, would not be upstaged and one of the members ran hurdles in rhythm to a Bones selection. Head Over Heels followed, displaying the hard rock ability that makes them the biggest group east of the Mississippi. Cleveland's pop festival was certainly one of the best!

Cavaliers Bury The Dead But Shakespeare Is Reborn! The 50th annual Shakespeare Festival was held at U.C.L.A. on April 25, 1970. The competition, sponsored by the Drama Teachers' Association of Southern California, revolved around three selected plays which were judged by noted actors. The three Shakesperian selections this year were Richard Ill, Romeo and Juliet, and Twelfth Night. Richard Ill is the history of Richard of Gloucester, who murders for his crown and lives the violent and courageous, the cruel and wanting life of a King. Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare's best known plays, is the story of star-crossed lovers and the tragic nature of their love and death. The third play, Twelfth Night, is a comedy concerning mixed-up love. Each character loves another whose identity itself is consistently uncertain. ln ad- dition to the fine performances by Cavalier drama students, elaborate costumes were crafted by Cavaliers. CIeveland's talented Play Production class proved that Cleveland has, by far, the best Drama department in the valley. On Nlarch 18, 1970, at Valley College, our Cavalier dramatists performed Irwin Shaw's Bury the Dead in the yearly One-Act Festival. During the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night, six American privates are killed in action, but refuse to be buried. The burying detail is at first alarmed, but soon finds sympathies with those whose lives have not yet been fulfilled. Wives, sweethearts, and sisters are summoned to persuade the dead to be buried, but all six remain unmoved. In the end, they are machine- gunned, but each walks passively off stage with his living comrades.
