Murder in the Cathedral offered Park Center its first taste of readers theatre. The play depicted the struggle between church and state and told the story of the martyred saint. Thomas a'Becket. Reading the lines directly from the script, even during performances, made the play a totally different experience for those involved. ... Kings rule or Barons rule , mark it in your books! The knights in their tights, the chorus in their gunny sack dresses, and Chris trying to sit gracefully in a long robe on a short stool, led finally to opening night when 4 weeks of hard work were put to the test. Three priests of Canterbury mourn St. Thomas. 179 (L TO R) Mark Nelson. Russ Graves. Guy Stewart. John Mehaffey. Ric Neseth. Bruce Machrmer. Dave States. Kathy Tyler. Mike Hoover. Not pic. Director. Earle Christenson. Student directors. Nancy Slator and Andrea Pederson. The Romancers is an intriguing French romance. Slyvette and Perci-net are young lovers whose fathers plot to join property by marrying their children. Their feigned mutual hatred creates a Romeo and Juliet atmosphere. All things combine to make the play a lightly comical, slightly satiracal. very enjoyable romance. Park Center entered this play in the one-act district play contest, which is part of competittive speech. The Romancers” took first place in the sub-districts held at Anoka, and Mike Hoover (Percinet) was named best actor by the judges. They went on to districts, held at P.C.. and placed third. 180 Many aDductions' indeed I have mere is the moonlight abduction in a gonddola But a lake IS necessary (1) Scoundrel! Rascal! Fool!

David Banks Studios Burt Hedstrom. Amer Yearbook t he Otlice Secretaries Hello. Pete Hey. Jan ARTWORK WALLY DEZIEL There's a lot of truth to that saying. ‘‘Yearbooking takes a lot ol hard work. It can't be said, however, that it was ALL hard work. The dedicated few who put out this book will be left with at least some good memories. The years 72-73 saw the birth ol The Saga ol Kegger. our vocabularies were grossly (really!) improved. We mastered the technique of racing occupied chairs down those empty third floor halls (before the odiferous onslaught ol the trackmen, of course). The Annual Staff Secret Password could be heard after school, time and time again, wafting it's way out of room 320 at least once or twice a night; we also learned a new definition of paganism Towards the end of the year (no. much sooner than that) we began to wonder if it was all worth it. If the answer still eludes us. perhaps when we pick up this book ten or twenty years from now we ll see how important it really is. We hope you will. too.
