Music and Palm Trees Following in the steps of 1974's Anything Coes, the Drama department's 1976 edition of the Spring Production was Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific. It was a tre- mendous success. With great acting, singing and support from the orchestra, Mr. Deutsch's students brought in large crowds for all five performances. The preparation was not, however, without heartache. Starting practice nearly three months in advance, the production, according to John Munoa, didn't start to take shape until six weeks before opening night. Chris Venzor summed it up when she said, It was my first time in a major production and I realize now the hard work that the Drama department has to go through to make a successful production. All persons connected with South Pacific worked hard to make it a fine production. 122 Musical

Contests, Crust and Craziness 'We have to make the most of Twerp Week. It's our chance to be weird! ex- claimed one sophomore. March 22 through March 26 were the five days designated as Twerp Week. The week's usual events—a pie-eating contest, Mr. Legs, Servant Sale, and Sadie Hawkins Dance—were partici- pated in and viewed by all the enthusiastic hicks at Madison. A new idea for Twerp Week activities was a Box Social. Students prepared lunches to be auctioned off at lunch, with the buyer receiving the lunch and the lunch maker. Unfortunately, not enough lunches were prepared for auctioning, so there wasn't any box social. Banana cream and cherry pie landed every- where but in the mouths of the contestants in the pie-eating contest. After viewing eight pictures of sexy legs, students voted Ray Ogo as the winner of the Mr. Legs con- test. For the Servant Sale, willing students were auctioned off during lunch, with bid- ders paying anything from 30c to $16.50. Servants stayed under the command of their masters all day Friday. All proceeds from the Servant Sale went to the financing of the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the yearly highlight of Twerp Week activities. This year's crowd was the biggest to have ever attended the dance. Twerp Week was sponsored by Girls' League, and according to Renee Gaddi, Except for the Box Social, everything turned out all right. 1 Crowd views the Servant Sale. 2 David Greek holds friend for security. 3 Rose Yelly in stuffed overalls. 4 Getting a taste of banana cream pie. 5 Ray Ogo, winner of Mr. Legs contest. 6 Jim Johnson (Tarzan) surveys school. 7 8.Humphrey wins pie-eating contest. 8 Scott Donnellan pauses to chew pie. 9 Four servants entertain at lunch. 124 Twerp Week
