Lights, action You Can't Take It With You, a comedy of the 1930's by,Kaufman and Hart was this year's annual fall production, Thursday, November 19 and Friday, November 20. The cast included 12 men, seven women, and Jake the snake, a boa constrictor loaned to the drama department by Jack Jackson. Sophomore Mike Ferguson, who played Ed, got to hold Jake during his performance onstage. Having a snake for a pet was just one of the many unusual quirks of the Sycamore family. The grandfather, Martin Vanderhoff, played by Doyle Maston, had quit his job as a successful businessman 30 years before and now spent his time attending commencements and feeding Jake rats that were brought to him by Donald, the maid's boyfriend, played by Larry Hinkle. Terri Aguilar was Rheba, the maid. The only normal member of the Sycamore family was Alice, played by Lisa Barz. Alice's mother, played by Suzette Collins, enjoyed writing war plays, sex plays, and painting a portrait of Mr. DePinna, Doug Wittrup, wearing his toga. Alice's father, played by Jerry Cutts, was into making firecrackers, and Alice's sister, Essie, Cristy Stinson, was planning to be a famous ballet dancer. The story centered around Alice and her boyfriend, Tony Kirby, Kent Arceri. Alice was in love with Tony but was certain they could never be happy because of the differences between their families. Tony's family was was very well-off. His mother was played by Lisa Fry and his father was Skipper Smith. When the Kirbys met the Sycamores, the scene ended in chaos with three G-men, played by Don Hudspeth, Dan Roberts, and David Baskin, taking everyone into custody. After the problems faced by the two opposing families in the second act, the play came to a close with each of the characters living happily ever after. Mr. Chuck Lytle, director of the play, commented that the play was fun to do, and there were many new people in the cast who learned about the theater through putting on the play. He also said, We were very successful in getting the idea across that people should enjoy life while they can and not be trapped into doing what they do not want to do Fall Production

A typical Texas winter With the mention of the word winter, one usually thinks about romping in the snow, spinning tires on icy streets, eating icicles, drinking hot chocolate with marshmellows, and snuggling by the fireplace with a loved one. Even though these images are associated with the ideal winter, they are not the typical Texas winter. Until the first freeze on January 11, students had been perspiring under layers upon layers of sweaters and other winter apparel as temperatures remained in the 50's and 60's.
