JU IORS PRESENT BRCADWAY HIT... A famous Broadway hit, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, was the selection by the juniors for their class play. Mr. Jerry Nickles, who directed the play was assisted in handling the technical prob- lems of production by Joe Sassic, student director, Tim Lockwood, house manager, and Bob Grove, business manager. Everett Poore as John Worthington, Gary Betway as Algernon Moncrieff, Ron Cunningham as Rev. Chasuble, Bob Edwards and Tom Mata as the butler and man servant respectively, constitued the male parts. Female roles were played by Ginger Towne as Lady Bracknell, Paula Creason as Gwendolen Fairfax, Karen Forbes as Cecily, and Margo Parmenter as Miss Prisom. The drudgery of learning lines, spending long hours at practice, and putting up with corn starch in their hair,and gobs of grease paint on their faces paid off big for all concerned in a highly successful two night stand on November 20 and 21.

Mystery, comedy a-plenty A as seniors present pla Aunt Susie Stowe, a man-hating spinster, Dot Fox, inherits a sausage factory contingent upon her marrying the woman-hating Omar Graves, John Richwine. It takes all of the ingenuity of her niece, Joy Herbert,Jan Tomkinson, and her fiance Johnny Rogers, Dennis Hagey, plus some potent love lozenges provided by LaSalle Johnson, Darryl Eighmey, to turn the trick. Subversive forces involving exotic and mystic Madame Zola, Karen Andrews, plain looking and not-too-smart Laura Dawson, Andrea Roberts, Slick Conway, Leonard Schneider, Cynthia Dunning, played by Linda Carroll, do all they can to discourage the match. A lady lawyer Portia Lark, Ginger Poe, and Scarlet Dean, Joy's maid and also avictim of LaSalle' 'love lozenges, played by JoAnn Niedermeier, add to the confusion as Aunt Susie Shoots the Works. Members of the technical staff include, Linda Dobson, Kathy Ery, Jan Gustafson, Cindy Goodwin, Judy Madon, Karen Smith, Sue Eckert, Larry Orr, and Robert Poore. The play was directed by Mr. Rath. Jan Tomkinson comforts a terror-stricken J oAnn Niedermeier, Darryl Eighmey and John Richwine listen with delight as Andrea Roberts rehearses her country-style dailect back stage before the curtains open. Mystic Karen Andrews calls on the spirits for Dot Fix and Ginger Poe. Aren't you glad to see me? asks Dennis Hagey of Jan in one of the play's many moments of tenderness. 18

Future legislators... One of the most important organizations at Jefferson is the ruling body of student school life, the Student Council. Elected by the students themselves, the representatives, two from each home -room, work with the faculty and administration in establishing policies and programs that will benefit and improve the school. Funds for accomplishing the se undertakings are pro- vided by an occasional all-school movie or dance sponsored by Council. Students and teachers are kept informed of the group's activities by regular bulletins covering minutes and business transacted at the meetings and by reports from home-room representatives. The fall elections for class officers are supervised each year by the Fair Elections Committee. It is also the respon- sibility of Council to check and approve all posters advertising school activities placed in the school.
