McM Stages Fine Set Of Play Productions Theatre productions at McMurry were always a popular event as the extraordinary acting talents of those involved kept the students and others attend- ing. coming back for more. The plays put on involved long hours of hard work, practice, patience, and determination. In the end. it all paid off as the plays were well liked by all. Some of the productions this year included. Phila- delphia Here 1 Come , The Taming of the Shrew, A Christmas Carol, Of Mice and Men. and a one- man play, Paul Robeson which starred McM's own Dr. Morris Baker. The plays not only provided entertainment, but attendance to any of these went towards a College Series credit as well. 28 — Activities

Studio McM Highlights Weekends The tights were out, the music was on—what was seen on week- days as the Snack Bar suddenly transformed itself into Studio McM. The fun started every weekend as the dance held in Stu- dio McM became a highlight and much welcomed sight to take the students mind away from classes, labs, and homework. The dances held almost every weekend at McMurry always proved to be a success as students came and had fun with friends dancing to the music. Students not only from McMurry enjoyed the music and dancing atmo- sphere; fellow college students from Abilene Christian Universi- ty and Hardin-Simmons Universi- ty also Joined in on the fun. Several social and campus clubs took advantage of Studio McM and sponsored dances. There was everything from a nerd dance, to a barn dance, to a costume dance where everyone came dressed in outlandish and very creative cos- tumes.
