A lot of students were shaving their hair away on the sides or getting a tail in the back and dying it a different color or just plain getting it cut oft. As you can see, with a large school, any students way of dressing did not prevail. Although many just dressed to whatever came in mind. — Johnny Amos Spots before your eyes?

Jennifer Comparet and Heidi Witmer discuss the penis of farm living during the production. Photo Wotters Studio A typical brat! Chris Thicks, freshmen, is able to re-create that attitude very well. Photo Wot- ters Studio A Step Back To Another Time As the lights go down, the transtor- motion takes piece. The audience is wisked back to the year 1940 at a Pennsylvania farmhouse. This creates the setting of the 1985 fall production, George Washington Slept Here, George Washington Slept Here is a gracious and funny comedy con- cerning a family man, Newton Fuller, who craves and gets a little place in the country just to call his own. There ' s a little catch to this farmhouse: it ' s win- dowless, waterless, and almost roof- less. The troubles may be summed up as a search for water, a quarrel with a neighbor who owns both the brook and the road leading to the farm- house, the daughter ' s attempted elopement with a married man, and a group of unexpected weekend guests. One guest. Uncle Stanley, who is assumed to be rich, turns out to have been bankrupt since 1929, The tryouts for the production took place in mid-September, Approxi- mately 70 talented drama students tried out. Only 17 members were se- lected to form this year ' s cast. Six weeks prior to the performance the crew spent many hours after school practicing, The play was on overall success, because every character put forth a major effort. Junior Meredith Graves declared, A big disappointment to the cast was the lack of support from fel- low students, Dircetor Del Proctor feels, If we could get more students to at- tend our plays once, I ' m sure they would return again and again, — Carolyn Spoke Their efforts were rewarded with an excellent production. — Del Proctor OPENING
