'Guys 8: Dolls' Makes 'Point' With Audience The dice rolled in an auditorium sewer as directors Mr. Jimmy Bicker- staff and Mr. Wayne Jipson made their points. And as the dice turned up on their final spin, the players did not crap out, indeed they won the acco- lades of their audience supporters as Guys and Dollsl' rolled to a successul end. Everyone connected with the show really pulled together at show time. That included the cast and crew as well as the orchestra. It made the show an enjoyable experience. I'm glad I could be a part of it, said Mike Fair- man fNathan Detroitl. The plot of the play, centered on a Damon Runyan short story, The ldyll of Sarah Brown, is about gamblers: people who not only gamble with mon- ey and dice, but also with their hearts. There were two major love stories in the play. The first was between Na- than Detroit IBill Faudef Mike Fair- manj who was a small-time operator of the Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game In New York. Detroit was devoted to Adelaide iDan- ita Reed f Janette Davisj although a bit irregularly. In fact, their engagement lasted for 14 years. The other love story concerns Sky Masterson fMike JipsonfJim Froemmingl a big-league gambler and his love Sarah Brown iJan HinsonfBarb Sederl who is a Sal- vation Army worker. I thought that everyone involved did a great job. A lot of seniors that had never been in choir before, really worked hard, stated senior Mike Jip- son. Peter Lococo, in his first year, echoed Mike's statement saying, I felt in my first year I learned a bushel- full of experience. All the more exper- ienced people involved helped me very much. I think the musical was the success that it was because of that involvement. It was sad, and it was funny, but it was better than even money that the audience enjoyed Guys and Dolls.

Special Effects Horrify 'Dracula' Count Dracula was selected as Nico- let's first dramatic performance and stu- dent participation was the production's keynote. The production techniques used in the play were extensive as the very nature of Count Dracula lent itself to special ef- fects. Billowing fog, magical disappear- ances and other such effects enhanced the play's Gothic setting. So comprehen- sive were the special effects that a new stage crew position was created: special effects coordinator. A less obvious portion of the students' participation came with the actual writing of the play. Junior Courtney Spitz con- tributed her comedic writing skills and encorporated an additional scene in the play. Mr. Jimmy Bickerstaff, English teacher and director of Count Dracula, sought to present the play as a normal drama. He explained, this entailed an extensive use of symbolism and an in-depth charac- ter analysis of the Count himself. Despite a plague of quittings, the cast displayed an unusual comaraderie, culmi- nating in an ambitious dramatic effort. Cast members for Count Dracula were: Mike Fairman, Count Dracula, Lisa Darien, Mina Murray, Jon Herold, Dr. Arther Sewardg Bob Kohl, Dr. Heinrich Van Helsing, Polly Byers, Sybil Seward, Conely Hanson, Johnathon Harker, Courtney Spitz, Louisa Bunce, David Ceci, Hennesseyg Tom Jaeckels, Wesley, Karen McCoy, Lucy Westenrag Kathy Khavari, Renfield, iii!
