ALL IS VANITY Hiwassee Presents Pride and Prejudice The fall quarter drama production of Pride and Prejudice placed one family ' s pride alongside another family ' s prejudice. The story centered around the Bennett family. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, played by Kelly Jenkins and Mike Tate, were con¬ stantly juggling the affairs of their daugh¬ ters, Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia. Jane Bennett, played by Imogene Fer¬ guson, was a shy, unassuming girl who saw the best in everyone. She fell hopelessly in love with a young neighbor named Charles Bingley, played by Paul Shockley. Lydia Bennett, played by Amy Free, was the youngest of the three daughters and by far the most anxious to be wed. Lydia loved a man in uniform and quickly fell head over heels for Mr. Wickim, played by Lute Truett, who was a sly military man. Elizabeth Bennett, played by Ferol How¬ ard, was the sophisticated daughter who refused to compromise her beliefs for any¬ one. She represented the prejudice in her family because she would not let herself love or be loved by the distinguished gen¬ tleman named Darcy, who was played by Eddie Bradford. His family came from the upper class in society, one that did not accept outsiders. Darcy was proud but not too proud to admit to his love for Elizabeth. The joining of this pair was further hin¬ dered by the fact that Darcy ' s rich and overbearing aunt. Lady Catherine Bourg, played by Traci Childress, did not think well of Elizabeth and her family because they were from a lower class. Through a series of chance meetings, lively parties, and fierce confrontations, Elizabeth was able to overcome her prej¬ udice against Darcy’s social status. In turn, Darcy was able to swallow his pride and love Elizabeth. — Traci Childress 22 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS

f THE HILLS ARE ALIVE Hiwassee Presents “The Sound of Music Voice lessons, long rehearsals, new dances, remembering lines, little sleep, and much late-night studying — all of these were ways of life for students involved in the winter pro¬ duction of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Despite this rigorous schedule, the musical was a success. Two months worth of hard work went into THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Members of the cast had not only regular scene rehearsals but also spe¬ cial singing and choreography ses¬ sions. Special auditions had to be held for the parts of the Von Trapp children, too. The day of the first performance finally arrived. Shows were per¬ formed for two sold-out matinees and three night performances. All the built-up tension, anxiety, and ner¬ vousness were slowly put away and the play, that had been a hit as a Broadway play and as a movie, was brought to life on Hiwassee’s stage. The hard work had more than paid off. By curtain call Saturday night, one could feel that the hills were def¬ initely alive with the sound of music. — Michelle Gonzales Happy Huns! The Von-Trapp family singers perform be¬ fore their daring getaway. 24 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS
