Juniors Practice Asian Accents in'Teahouse' A humorous look at post World War ll days was the subject of the Junior Class play as the young dram- atists made their debut in Tea- house of the August Moon. The comedy took place in Tobiki where chaos broke out when an American occupation unit moved in to enlighten the islanders with Western world culture. Constantly making a blunder of things, Captain Fisby fKeith Hoffmanj convinced Colonel Purdy Uim Lemlerj that he was insane. Purdy sent a psychia- trist to secretly examine Fisby, but his plan backfired when the doctor became affected with the Okinawan way of life. Fisby gave poor Purdy a terrific headache when he built a tea- house instead of the official penta- gon-shaped schoolhouse and added a geisha girl CAndrea DeVliegherj! Sakini fMark Greenwoody narrated and played the philosophical inter- preter to the military occupation forces. His greatest pastime was disillusioning Colonel Wainwright Ill about the teahouse. The Oriental play written by John Patrick had a sudden solution to prevent the destruction of the tea- house by Colonel Wainwright. SH .ii Eleven Junior hopefuls wait to be called upon by Mr. John Gibson to read for one of the parts in Teahouse of the August Moon.

Advisorg Commit-lee Improves Student-Administration Relations This meeting will now come to order. With this familiar phrase and the sharp blow of the gavel, the Student Council began another suc- cessful year at Mishawaka High School under the able leadership of officers Lewis Woodward, president, Dave Hardisty, vice-presidentg Cassie Stringer, secretary: and Mark Hoff- man, treasurer. The Student Council linked the students to the Administration by the formation of an Advisory Committee to discuss the ideas and plans of the council. Again this year, they sponsored the two main social events of the school year, the Homecoming and Mid-Semester Dances. During the year, representatives promoted and sold Miskodeeds in their sponsor rooms. The Student Council also helped the American Field Service Program by financially aiding for- eign exchange students in coming to our country. Two flags, honoring Catherine Blondeau of France and Mayumi Takasuna of Japan, were purchased by the Council and flown each day in front of the school. A Pep Session Committee, headed by John Gautier, was organized to help promote school spirit. Under the sponsorship of Mr. David Robertson and Mr. Lloyd Wayne, this organization brought the Purdue Glee Club to our school in March and promoted two bus trips during the year. The student body attended the annual Student-Faculty basketball game which was held after school instead of in the evening as in other years. With the spring came Juniors seeking the offices of Student Coun- cil and responsibility of leading the school next year. An all-school elec- tion was held to pick the officers. 4 Dave Hardisty admires the CounciI's con tribution to the cafeteria.
