SADIE HAWKINS DANCE With visions of Lil Abner and Daisy Mae floating about the gym, the annual Sadie Hawkins dance oc- curred at mid-November. The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion, as usual, sponsored the event at which girls ask the boys. Costumes are generally worn and prizes awarded for the best ones Chris Gremban and Terry Campbell were chosen as King and Queen of this year's dance. For their costumes they picked as models the familiar Laugh In characters Gladys Ormsby and the dirty old man Tyrone Hornay. Chris dressed in old baggy clothes, a large weathered hat, and a unique mustache-bifocal combination. Terry was the complete Gladys with mid-calf skirt, drooping stockings, dumpy sweater, and twisted hairnet. The two presided over the festivities in grand fashion and the Sadie Hawkins dance was a success. Money obtained from the Sadie Hawkins dance is used to support the money activities of the GAA such as equipment, transportation, and other costs. A variety of costumes displayed themselves at the Sadie Hawkins dance. King Chris Gremban and Queen Terry Campbell received their crowns. Most couples enjoyed the slow dances especially well. 13

THE DUMBWAITER An English Playwright named Harold Pinter pro- vided the material for the one act play competition. The Dumbwaiter is a story of two third rate crim- inals who work for a crime syndicate in England. The two would-be desperados are assigned to a small apartment and are to wait for a victim who has fallen out of favor with the underworld. Their job is to kill the unfortunate person. Ben, played by Ric Smetak, is the leader and the thinker of the two. Cus, played by )oe Campbell, is an unintelligent rambling character. Diane Isham operated the Dumbwaiter and Truman Seifert handled the sound effects for the performances. Mrs. Nebel directed the presentation which received an A rating at the sub-district contest in Phillips. The Dumbwaiter was removed from competition at the District level in Lakeland Here the Dumbwaiter received a B. Gus, (standing) returns from the latrine and discovers that it isn't working properly. After scolding Gus for acting foolishly, Ben talks to the people upstairs who run the Dumbwaiter. The Dumbwaiter is about the reaction of two people in an enclosed area waiting a suspenseful event. Pinter used general conversation that is heard everyday and this includes long pauses and incomplete sentences. Realism is added by the occurrances of natural events. Ben and Cus are not really professional murderers and the nervousness which accompanies their future deed dominates the mood of the entire play. The ending is unexpected and shatters the previous concept of place associations. Imagination must take over and an addition of the extra characters becomes necessary to satisfy the audience's expecta- tions. Ben tries to explain to the witless Gus the reasoning behind the upcoming murder.
