 Carnival5 Satirizes Human Foibles A modern Red Riding Hood (Linda Cooper) shows the Wolf (Ken Thorn) the way to Granny's house. Mrs. Prehhle (NilgulGuner) turns the tables on her husband (Evan Macfarlane) who has plans to do away with her. American middle-class society received severe jolts in “A Thurber Carnival”, Ionia High School’s fall drama production. A witty satire on contemporary society, “Thurber Carnival” is a collection of scenes from the works of noted American humorist James Thurber. Although not a musical, “Thurber Carnival” was sparked by the music of a jazz quartet, guitar, bass, saxophone, and drum, played by faculty members. Not only did these contemporary ar- rangements link the different acts, but they played the lead role in “Wood Dance”, the play’s opening and concluding number. Although the cast was small, director Raymond Monte chose several newcomers as well as experienced students. Capacity size audiences experienced two enjoyable evenings while members of the cast and crew gained valuable training. Cast: Ken Thorn. Linda Cooper, Buzz Hanson, Sharon Prall, Bill Stewart, Mr. Andrew MacFarland, Mr. John Bond, Gale Ward Haskins, Nilgul Guner, Evan Macfarlane, Lee Aufjrey, Larson, Mr. Charles Brill.

at Homecoming 1965 A hushed moment as Student Council President, Glen Norman, crowns Queen Debby. Charming crown bearers Peter Hanson and Karen Stout will long remember this night. Dan and Debby, according to tradition, open the dancing. Homecoming 1965 was the occasion for a lively victory celebration after the Greenville game. Queen Debby Brown and King Dan Bowers, both photogenic redheads, reigned supreme Other members of the Court were: Seniors — Linda Cooper and John Marquette, Juniors — Vicki McMahon and Dennis Smith, Sophomores — Alice Montgomery and Elmer Gregory, Freshmen — Nancy Maynard and Rich Schanski. The female members of the court added a special dazzle to Homecoming 1965. Dressed in their beautiful floor length gowns, they looked elegant and charming. Homecoming is a time for celebration — and a time for sadness. For Freshmen Homecoming may have been their first real entrance into high school life, but for Seniors Homecoming 1965 was the time for remembering all the wonderful moments of their high school career. All emotions blended and faded away as Homecoming 1965 came to a close. 15
