Marching Indians hit pigskin circuit The marching Indians not only performed at every LC home football game, but also performed at various parades, college football games and professional football games as well. Many long hours of hard work and determination paid off as the LC band was invited to perform during halftime of two professional football games. December 13 proved to be the “big day”, as the marching Indians entertained thousands of people at the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers game. One week later, and much colder, the band performed a pre¬ game show and also marched during halftime of the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packer game in Detroit. Performing in front of thousands of people didn’t bother the marching Indians, as they entertained fans at Terre Haute during the Indiana State-Butler game.

LC fall production, “Wait Until Dark” Conversation silenced, lights dimmed, and the curtain slowly rose to unveil a dark, austere stage upon which two con men, Mike Talman (Roger Hughes) and Sargeant Carlino (Kim Richardson) were having a private discussion. Harry Roat (John Lesniewski) was the villain behind the plot to get control of a heroin-filled doll that had mistakenly fallen into the hands of a professional photographer, Sam Hendrix (Bob Horgash), and his blind wife, Susy (Debe Yankey). The three con men unmercifully took advantage of Susy’s blindness to make her believe that her husband was in¬ volved with another woman in order to locate the doll. Gloria (Dolly Meenan) added her own special touch to the play as a ten-year-old brat. The Thespian Society decided to do a serious drama, which they have not done since the production of “1984”. Even though it was a deviation from the musicals and comedies, it was a fine representation of the contemporary scene, and enjoyed immensely by everyone. An atmosphere of professionalism was evident from the opening line to the last curtain call, due to the many hours put into the production by Mr. and Mrs. Lowe, directors, and the entire Thespian Society. “I ' m blind, there ' s something burning, I can ' t see to locate it, cries Susy Hendrix (Debe Yankey). “I knew they ' d try to kill me the minute they got the doll ” exclaimed Harry Roat (John Lesniewski) to Susy Hendrix.
