A Lesson ln Human Nature his falls drama production was a comedy about a family and the ordeals it undergoes to survive life by the skin of their teeth, ln fact the play, written by Thorton Wilder is entitled 'The Skin of Our Teeth. The production which was performed on October 20-22, de- manded a fairly large cast including refugees, tap dancers, tour' ists, the animals of Noahs ark, and soldiers, Major roles were played by Teta Barry as Sabina the maid. Scott Clark as Mr. George Antrobus, Christine Sell as Mrs. Maggie Antrobus. Steve Scrabbits as Henry Antrobus, and Robin Jaffe as Gladys Antro' bus All in all The Skin of Our Teeth was quite an involved production. lt even Contained two blue-haired singing muses, The play was written to actually occur in any given time frame. lt is a comedy, but it maintains a rather serious themeg human survival, ln the play the characters must face Natures threat in the form of an ice age during Act I, ln Act ll. George Antrobus is in conflict with himself when he must decide which woman he really loves, his wife or his attractive maid. Then in Act Ill, man is against man during the Great War, and a fathers will is pitted against the will of his strongminded son. However, the final outcome is successful, and even though the play was difficult to perform and parts were a bit confusing. the excellent acting talent made the play a huge success. In Scott Clarks opinion, lt was a tough show to perform because of its comic approach to the heavy subject matter, yet l believe the actors did their best with the complicated theme and carried off a good show. fir-fiiiiv Nriliiiliiis IS4 fill I l.1iklrfiivirim.aml1.

On Wednesday, Alcatraz Day, students were to come to school dressed as criminals. Vandalism posters were hung throughout the school, and the students attended an assembly held by two Virginia Beach officers. The policemen made the students aware of their responsibilities, not only to the school, but to the law and themselves. Bumper stickers and keychains were sold on Show That Pride Day and the cafeteria was separated into the three class sections to determine the most spirited class. The week ended with Sportsmanship Day. The pep rally and the class olympics effectively promoted school and class spirit, as well as student involvement. The events at the class olympics included tug-of war, water balloon volleyball, find-the-target, Mr. Betty Crocker, and many more. Many students and teachers alike felt that the project was well worth the effort and time put into its development. The Student Responsibility Week succeeded in emphasizing the Honor Code, personal integrity, and student involvement.
