Traditions Change CASTILLO AND TOLIVER TAKE CROWNS For the first time the Pirateer and Uglyman dances and final elec- tions took place at the dance en- trance. This meant a greater percent of the voters turn out than in the pre- vious years. Elections Commission- er, Frank Wood, who was in charge of the proceedings, said, Everything worked out well. Evette Castillo and Kevin Toliv- er were crowned Miss Pirateer and Mr. Uglyman for the 1986-1987 year. The dance took place on December 12, and 1985's Uglyman runner-up, Lee Dongallo, crowned Castillo and Toliver. The theme of the dance was Stand By Me with colors: royal vi- olet, white, gold, and silver covering walls and tables. After Castillo was crowned Miss Pirateer, she was very happy and commented, I was ex- tremely shocked, a lot of people were pulling for meg yet I didn't have the confidence to tell myself 'Co all the way'! I just couldn't believe it be- cause I was up against my friends who were just as active and qualified as I was. When crowned, the feeling was omnifyingg I cried, I laughed, and most of all I was proud. I felt very proud to represent the school as Miss Pirateer and to share the special moments with Mr. Uglyman, Kevin Toliver. As Toliver received his crown, he felt very relieved with the pres- sure off and said, I was so happy, I wanted to cry. Toliver also added, I was very happy to represent Pitts- burg High as Mr. Uglyman.

STAGE THE CRUCIBLE Los Medanos College and Pitts- burg High School's drama depart- ments performed Arthur Miller's play The Crucible on December 4,5, and 6 in the Little Theatre of the high school. I thought it was very timelyg it showed the group hysteria of the Sa- lem witch trials in the seventeenth century. I think we see a little of this in our own society, with AIDS and drug testing, stated Orrin Cross, the designer and director of the play. Since Cross runs both L.M.C. tan life and many teachers from many schools offered extra credit for seeing the play. Twenty students from L.M.C. and twenty six students from P.H.S. formed the company. The actors from the high school included Ter- esa Aiello, Eunice Barruel, Heather Carnduff, Rick Felix, Shari Lind, Michelle Nichols, Iason Sampson, and Richrad Watkins. Iunior Renae Bell was the stage manager for the production.
