Hula Hawkins sparks romance Wc stiil haven ' t gotten our shirts, was the cry heard November 14th, the day of Hula Hawkins. Many rushed to A Touch of Hawaii, a new store in the Whittwood Mall, at the last minute. Held in the cafete- ria, this traditional Girl-ask-Guy dance sparked many a fiery romance. Couples dressed in matching shirts danced to music provided by a DJ and posed for pictures taken by Sanford Studios. Said Darin Bar- ber about the event, Hula Hawkins was a lot of fun! It ' s really nice to have the girl ask the guy for a change! (above) Freshmen Johnny Ward and Ki Franklin learn to dance the high school way.

Play puts audience in stitches Lancers have always been known for their abounding and unending talents. They truly outdid themselves in this year ' s fall play of The Imaginary Invalid by Moliere. This play starred such explosive La Serna talents as Mike Cardenas, Erin Renoiif, Tara Maxey, Megan Eus- tis and Jason Thomas. It was performed at the Whittier High Svliool auditorium for the three consecutive nights of November :;o, 21. and 22. The play was directed by Earl Bycrs and supported by a large number of backstage crew and unseen helpers who pulled together to make the performance a sizzling success. The Imaginary Inralid is a popular restoration comedy which takes place in the seventeenth century. This play requires perfectly authentic backgrounds, props, make-up and costumes, putting all acting aside, to even be consid- ered a success. This authenticity could be clearly seen and was suprisingly well done by the La Serna troop. The actors and actresses gave a tremendous amount of effort and talent in the performance, as well as a great deal of time in putting it all together. Jason Thomas played the roles of two completely different characters and had 10 change in and out of two entirely different costumes backstage during the performance. Erin Renouf por- trayed a maid who was trying to fool her master by altering her costume and entirely changing her personality while on stage. All of the actresses were forced to wear extremely heavy and uncomfortable dresses, petticoats and even corsets. The actors donned nickers, stockings, shirts, vests, and a few coats as well as hats and glasses. Their efforts were well worth it and greatly appreciated as their friends and families were thoroughly entertained for over two hours. Once again. Lancers show how pulling togeth- er and giving it your all can prove to be an exciting success and a memorable experience for everyone.
