Musical Kismet Delights Audiences The cast of Kismet reaped the rewards of long re- hearsing as performances on December 6-9 came to a close with the last standing ovation. The musical, whose title Kismet means fate, con- cerned the life of a beggar, Hajj, and how fate affected his ‘‘rags to riches’’ ascent. In the palace of the Wazir of Baghdad to be tried for burglary, Hajj fell in love with the Wazir’s wife, Lalume, while the Caliph wooed his daughter, Marsinah. Class distinction was forgotten, as fate took a hand and both couples married. Exotic scenery and colorful costumes added to an at- mosphere of romance. ea gh Dennis Savage, one of the Wazir’s policemen receives his final make- up touches from Cindy Elliot. 14 Bill Spruill, the Caliph, and Jon Apgar, the poet laureate (ABOVE), listen in disbelief as Jo Webster, the Widow Yussef, explains that Marsinah has run away with another man. Surrounded by chorus members Myrna Todd, Beth Deane, Kenda ll Cogbill, and Nancy Woodruff, Marsinah, portrayed by Dorothy Dameron (BELOW), ro- mantically expresses her desire for ‘Baubles, Bangles, and Beads.”’

Senior Dance Features The Jokers Wild A 30-foot Christmas tree and a fireplace brought the spirit of an old-fashioned Christmas to the Senior Dance, ‘‘Incense and Peppermints,’ on December 16. Students began to feel the holiday mood as they danced to music by the Jokers Wild. The announcement of the Senior Superlatives highlighted the festivities. ‘A penny if you CARE” served as the motto for the SCA Christmas mailbox, through which students made donations to send greetings to their friends. The mon- ey, given to CARE, together with the canned foods drive, White Christmas, gave students an opportunity to ex- press the true spirit of Christmas. The huge cedar tree becomes ‘“‘Christmasy’’ as Sue Francisco (ABOVE) carefully places ornaments on its branches. Bonnie Ad- ams and Grace Bourne (RIGHT) find themselves under the watch- ful eyes of Larry Fisher and David Barnes as they sample holiday cookies at the Christmas dance. 16
