Anything Goes Anything Goesf' a musical set in the 1930's aboard a cruise ship that involves lovers, gangsters, and evangelists, was the perfect choice for the spring musical because it provided an area never explored by the drama department. Carol Ann Davis, the director of the show, said the play was chosen because it was a period piece that had big production numbers with a lot of tap dancing. Also, the more mature generation would be attracted to it for the oldie goldie tunes. Tom Nelson, who played Billy Crocker in the show, said, This musical was special because ofthe quality of people who worked on it. They made it a great show. Spring musical showcases big production numbers When asked if all the hard work was worth it Nelson said, Anything that is worked on and sweated over certainly is. jeff Seabaugh, who portrayed Mr. Whitney, added, Although it takes many weeks of long rehearsals, the end result is worth the practice. To see a show open with the professional qualities of a Northeast production makes an actor feel special. Anything Goes had a cast of close to sixty performers. Todd Godwin, who played the gangster Moonface Martin, said, The bigger the cast, the better. With a large cast it seems like there is always someone to cheer you up when you're down. - By Libbi Dixon SEVENTH HEAVEN - Reno Sweeny, played by Wendy Ward, fcenter with suitcasej, is surrounded by her tap-dancing angels Lou Ann Grimmett, Liz Martin, Gina Forten- berry, Denise Maness, Beth Brady, Pam White, and Marla Hardwick.

Then fashions for now Fashions took a different look in 1983, but traces of the past could still be found. Fashion magazines were replaced by par- ents' old yearbooks. Girls drug out their mothers old chests and dressed themselves in beaded necklaces and button-down shirts pulled together with bow ties, pin-stripped pants, and mini-skirts. Guys also found clothing in the attic with Fashions flirt with past for 'now' look polo shirts worn layered. Even keeping warm became a part of the new look. The lightweight Members Only jacket was origin- ated for guys, but was soon adopted for girls. Goose-down jackets and vests kept guys warm while stadium coats and leather jackets fitted into the girls' wardrobe. Not only the clothes changed, but also the hairstyles. Shorter hair was in for guys and button-down shirts, monogrammed sweaters, straight leg jeans, and loafers. However, not everything was out of the past. Designers such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Geoffrey Beene, and Bill Blass added their touch to the l98O's. New styles included geometric earrings, knit ties, leg warmers, taffeta dresses, and girls as the new wave brought styles such as French Cut, the Georgio Collection, and the Quadrant hair styles. Sophomore Nancy Herman said that she liked the easy caren routine required by the shorter styles. - By Karen Salmon MEMBERS ONLY PLEASE - Sophomore Mark Allen keeps warm in a flight jacket, a style popular for both girls and guys.
