naples swirl through e Many hours were spent by Executive Cabinet on the coordination of Christmas Week activities. Door decorat- ing seemed to be the main attraction. Eighty-five percent of the registration rooms participated in this activity. The doors were judged in such categories as Most Original, Most Traditional, and Most Modern. Best Overall went to Mr. Earl Balzer's shop class with the theme of Heavy Metal. Brian Shaw of the Portland Winterhawks and lris Harrison from the radio station KGON were this years' celebrity judges. Most doors were found to be related to KGON. We found the decorations of the doors to be very artistic. l think the students really put their efforts into it, commented Executive Cabinet member Katherine Chan. , Another activity put on by Executive Cabinet during the week was the Rubic's cube contest. Sophomore Ray Flynn was the winner. The Stardust Serenade was held in late January rather than mid-December due to conflicts with Marshall's win- ter sports schedule. Girls' League was once again in charge, spending over one month planning for this event, starting out with the court selection. The 1982 class representatives were Seniors Julianne Martus and Chris Milner, Juniors Levauna Gentry and Jack Schindler, Sophomores Carmen Herman and David Rose, and Freshmen Leanne Michener and Darren Dry- den. Due to popular request, last year's Queen Patti Nielsen crowned Sophomores Carmen Herman and David Rose as the 1982 King and Queen of the Stardust Sere- nade. Approximately 55 couples attended the formal, mak- ing it a complete success. The Cadillac Music Company provided the music for couples to dance to. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gentry spent their spare time helping out with the decorations of flocked Christmas trees, blue and white streamers and balloons. The formal was a fantastic success. We worked super hard on this dance and l think it really showed. lt was terrific, concluded Susan Nor- ton, president of Girls' League.

ctors meet challenge Marshall experienced the first Shakespearean production in its history during the fall of 1981 when Director Vi Wat- son presented the Shakespearean comedy Twelfth Night, which brought laughter and enjoyment to the crowd. Al- though Shakespeare had a reputation for being Hard to understand, Thespian President Patti Diamond felt that it was easier to perform than expected. The audience attentiveness was also proof that Shake- speare speaks to the people of today as well as yesterday, stated Watson. When asked what motivated him to keep performing in various plays, Senior Jon Maynard explained, I like seeing the exitement and joy in the younger actors. As for me, l'm a perfectionist-l keep working for that goal. Maynard also designed the only set used in the play. The overall production, according to Watson, was one of the nicest things we have put together in long time. Cast members included Maynard and Diamond, Juniors Oliver Hall and Tony Wilkey, and Sophomores Garry Britt, Trent Himes, and Zaxaro Kokkoris. Another Sherlock Holmes was discovered in Marshall's winter play, presented on February 11 and 12. Angel Street is a story about a murder that took place in England in 1880. Detective Rough, played by Senior David Spencer, went back to Angel Street 15 years after the crime to prove that the deranged Mr. Manningham was guilty of the crime of which he was accused. lt was a very sophisticated story that put chills up your spine, commented Senior Susan Norton, referring to the suspense element of the play. A small cast of six was used for the production, which was a definite change from traditionally large groups. ln preparation for the play, English accents were taught at rehearsal for a more realistic approach. lt was difficult to learn the accents but it benefited our performances in the play, explained Spencer. Although we had a small cast, we put a good play out in a short amount of time. l'm very proud of our efforts, concluded Junior Dawn Alcorn. Other cast members included Senior Randy Sheets, Sophomores Zaxaro Kokkoris and Penny Moore, and Junior Tony Wil- key. ' Plays CONGRATULATIONS make all the time and effort put into the play worthwhile as Tony Wilkey receives a pat on the back from fellow cast member Kaci McNally. TAKING A BOW. Junior Oliver Hall, Senior Jon Maynard, and Sopho- more Trent Himes engage in some onstage antics for the play Twelfth Night. presented on November 5 and 6.
