rl Ar M1 -........r-.- Performing a First Excitement filled the air as North's first production came to a successful ending. Tension and pressures were replaced with cries of joy and sighs of relief. Linda Schoffstall, who gracefully portrayed the character Lotus Blossom, commented, i'When everything comes together, all the hard work is worth it when you hear the crowd's applausef, Nerves were calmed and feelings of confidence overtook the actors. Most of this confidence was due to the group's director, Paul Holzworth. Craig Byram, playing the lead of Capt. Fisby, stated, Mr Holzworth is the best qualified director in the state, while Kim Mac- dougall, executing the role of Sakini, observed, The cast has formed a family- like atmosphere with Mr. Holzworth posing as the father figure. The feeling created in the molding of this play into a first-rate production was one the future drama members can strive to carry on to other works at North. Expression is an art vital to acting, as Kim Entwistle gestures to the crowd. Photo: B. Chris- tian. Straight from Okinawa, these lovely Geisha girls know how to enhance the audience. Photo: M.

Creating Your clothes should fit your per- sonality, that's the fashion key, agreed Elizabeth Emde and Kim Ernst in a casual group discussion prior to half time of the boys basketball game against Bettendorf. An anonymous senior added, I don't want girls to look like walking gunny sacks. With more exacting com- mentary, the leg man approach to the fashion world was echoed by Bruce Bibbs who quipped, I like to see them in skirts. As for the guys, Kelli Ekstrand, Erin Hill, and Lisa Lund compiled their best likes for the male students - tight', levis and untucked oxford shirts! During the '85-'86 school year, gunny sacks were not seen, even in paisley or punk, but definitely miles of denim and oxford cloth infiltrated the halls during school days. Of course, the denim look was offset by the lollipop shape of bulky layers at the top and straight-legged jeans or stirrups at the Paisleys, striped tweeds, and black suede boots liven up Jeff Ruge's day as his colorful outfit of purple and grays fights off the January drearies.

In a concensus of parents attending the game, they detest', the punk hair styles with the spikes and shaves, the shoes without socks, the boys' earrings, and the unisex clothing. I would just like to know which are the girls and which are the guysf' exclaimed several mothers. I like that fresh look, - with its flowers, paisleys, and turned up collars, bubbled Marilyn Schreiber. Annette McCarthy mused, 'KI like a lot of the color and graphic design and it's nice how the kids can dress to reflect their moods - make an individual statement, yet returning to the classics is popular with the acceptable loafers and letter jackets. After growing up wearing uniforms from K - 12, it is refreshing to see young people permitting each other to wear bright colors and fun patternsf' sparkled Lynn Witter who likes wearing some of them herself. 1' , I A D 7, V '4 'E
