Ladflfllb' MJC's tall production ot the Greek tragedy, Oedipus, was of high quality. Difficulties ot putting on such a play were numerous. The understandability ot this ancient play was amazing. Modernizing Oedipus, after gouging out his eyes, con- soles his two daughters, played by Carmen Adducci and Barb Adamski. Oedipus, played by Phillip Oswald, is shocked by the realization ot the evil deed he has committed. Guards Warren Sodt and Mike Ander re- strain shepherd Jim Schulz as he informs Oedipus of his fate. ,Q Z fp 4 4 Z i f, 4 the play added much to the clar- ity, plus making it more enjoy- able to the audience. The hard work of the actors and actresses and the student director was evi- dent in making this classic as great as it was centuries ago. The costuming, scenery, and acting ability all helped to make this an- other one ot MJC's fine drama productions.

Student Wlrims Students enjoyed themselves at the fall dance, Autumn Splendor, sponsored by Men's Club. Everyone had a nice time at this year's Student-Faculty Tea, held for the first time in the Common Room. l l . Student whims of entertainment, relaxation, and rivalry vary with different moods. For relaxation, students always enioy the Stu-dent-Faculty Tea held each semester. At this affair students and teachers get to know each other outside the classroom. Food, soft music, and pleasant conversation always make this event one of the favorites. When a stu- dent wishes to be entertained he can come to one of MJC's many dances. The soft waltz music of a good band, or a fast twist will be sure to please students. Each year Morty, the MJC panther, is sought after by the men and women on campus. This year the women on campus have really made the rivalry exciting by purchasing two more pan- thers. The question is no longer Who has the panther? but Where are the panthers? Morty I? Morty' II? Morty III? Who knows? Morty is the official panther mascot of MJC. - t . X-NYQXQSLQ swf. I4
