Hoffman acts 1st leading role in “Odd Couple ” Oscar (Dave Hoffman) convinces Murray (Roger Hughes) that a man can accomplish anything without a woman, even a good meal. The Lake Central Theatre Guild opened up their season with a round of applause and a room-rocking with laughter as they presented Neil Simon s “The Odd Coup¬ le.” The play employed the talents of only eight actors, the smallest ever adopted by directors Paul and Angie Lowe. Bob Baker and Dave Hoffman appeared in the lead roles while Mary Lyons and Michaelle Michael por¬ trayed the Pigeon sisters, the only female members of the cast. The remaining members of the cast, Dave Sims, Roger Hughes, Boh Domasica, and John Lesniewski were featured as Oscar’s poker playing buddies. The story revolved around Oscar, who left his wife for the good life and Felix, who was thrown out by his wife and faced with no other alternative but to seek refuge with Oscar. This was an added complication in the life of Oscar and his nightly poker games as Felix insisted on as¬ suming the domestic role of the household. The poker players (John Lesniewski, Bob Domasica, Dave Sims, and Roger Hughes) tensely await the outcome of Felix’s personal business while Oscar proves disinterested. Gwendolyn and Cecily Pigeon, (Michaelle Michael and Mary Lyons), unite in an effort to comfort Felix (Bob Baker) after he has been thrown out by his wife. Activities 23

Senior pie-eaters tie at carnival The 1970 version of the Quill and Scroll carnival once again drew a large and gratifying crowd. From the ring toss and pie eating contest to the dance, young and old alike found the opportunity to relax, laugh, and enjoy themselves. Many hours of preparation were spent to make the gala affair a success. The foyer, fieldhouse, and upper gym were converted into underwater scenes to carry out the theme of “Atlantis ’70.” The third annual pie eating contest ended in a draw between senior contestants Boh Domasica and Gene Matthews. Quiver candidates Bill Mista and Mimi Spragia were crowned king and queen at the post-car- nival dance featuring music by the “State of Mind.” Gary Massey “digs in” as he participates in the pie eating contest, the main attraction at the carnival. Working against the clock, Laurie Smith adds the final touches to the journalism booth before opening time. In an effort to publicize the carnival, Trudy Morris, Patti Blaize, and Donna Peters donned clown costumes and visited neighboring grade schools, distributing bubblegum to elated students. While welcoming the hundreds who entered her doors, “Atlantis 70” conveyed the general theme of the an¬ nual carnival sponsored by the Quill and Scroll.
