The Morp The latest, wildest tradition at N.H.S. was held again this fall in the cafeteria. Once again the girls were encouraged to take the first step and ask the boys out. But it didn ' t stop there. The girls, dressed in jeans and t-shirts, picked up their dates and took them to their favorite restaurant. They then went to the dance to enjoy an evening of dancing and music provided by senior class members.

Ordinary People Impressive was the word used by Plain Dealer Writer Cindy Behny Clitton to describe the N.H.S. winter dramatic produc- tion, ORDINARY PEOPLE, which was performed on February 23 and 25. 1984. In the play David Mason, as Con- rad Jarrett. portrayed a typical teenager who, after the acciden- tal death of his brother Buck, has attempted suicide. The story fol- lows his struggle to relieve himself of the incredible guilt he feels con- cerning the accident in which he was involved. Beth, Jenny Kramer, Conrad ' s mother, is cold and unemotional and is more con- cerned about the impressions her family makes on the outside world than her son ' s imminent destruc- tion. Cal, Toni Miller, the father, remains baffled by the widening gap between his wife and their son. Conrad is helped to recovery by Dr. Felix Berger, Michael Baber. his unorthodox psychia- trist; Jeannine Pratt, Melissa De- Board, his compassionate, caring new friend; and Joe Lazenby, Da- vid Zinsmeister, his long-time school chum who is also confused by Conrad ' s unstable emotions. Dennis Wright plays the antago- nist Stillman and Dan Flott per- formed the role of Conrad ' s blunt swimming coach. The Plain Dealer called Karen Ringel unnerving m her portrayal of the mentally dis- turbed Karen Aldrich. The set, also praised by the Plain Dealer, was designed by Gary Dale, and the play was directed with the usual flair by the lovely and talented Mrs. Bickel. Cal.
