Roc accents man’s agony “Is this another Marat Sade?” . . . “What is Phi Zap- pa Krappa?” . . . “Look who is playing!” These exclama- tions could be heard as the stage dimmed at 8:00 p.m. to present the Garrick Circle Players production of Fire. Michelle Willingham entered a dark stage and read the biblical story of the creation which provided an introduction to the fall of humanity. Written by John Roc, this modern morality explored the depths of man’s desperation. Representing the devil Ja- son, Scott Hawk persecuted each of the characters by at- tacking his way of life. With the exception of eight hu- mans, the earth’s population was destroyed by a disaster that remained unknown to the audience. Eight characters grasped for happiness, but continuous torment sank the survivors into the depths of despair and a welcomed death. Each character represented aspects of life that are com- mon to all humanity. Marco portrayed strength; Ronald symbolized innocence. In con- trast, Stanley represented sexual perversion and Walter depicted fatherhood. Sarah characterized the virtues of motherhood; whereas, Delia represented the values of a courtesan. Eight characters could not cope with the persistent at- tacks on their virtues. Thus, in the end they voted for self- destruction. Menacingly, Jason, portrayed by Scott Hawk, thrashes angry words of reprisal at the audience. He begs them to help him in his endeavor to break the spirit of humanity, and yet they represent a force with which he cannot cope. Special Events — 19

Spirited fans support team Indian Week, October 16- 23, gave spirited students and faculty the opportunity to bol- ster the morale of the football team for their upcoming game against arch rival, Hampton. Contests were organized to rally student spirit. Included in the contests was a search for a hidden crab, tucked away in the SCA suggestion box, and a creative poster contest. Lisa Williams and Wanda Creek- more, the respective winners, were awarded free tickets to the Hampton game. On Friday, pep rallies were held during both lunches. The band and spirited students cheered the team throughout the cafeteria and halls. Climaxing the week was the annual bonfire. Each class strived for victory in the box drive.
