Eleven wins behind them, the Quakers turned to preparations for their second game of the season. Red Pride did not fare so well with this one, loosing to Danville by a touch- down and cutting the longest win- ning string in PHS football history. The Quakers lost only twice more during the season, both times in a downpour. However, Red Pride fin- ished on a high note as they racked up their third shutout of the season stomping Decatur 38-0. Setting school records, sr. Mitch Vogel caught thirty-three passes and the Red Pride Defense allowed only one touchdown pass during the sea- son. A 52% passing accuracy earned sr. Ed Gath the team’s MVP award while srs. Jeff Terry, Dave Ewbank, and Mitch Vogel were named to the MSC team. The reserve team experienced a first this year as they traveled to Ohio to play the Twin Valley South varsity squad. The trip turned into an all day outing as the Quakers visited the USAF Museum and the slums of Dayton before donning the red and white to face the superior South. Highlighting the regular season play was a spectacular finish to the Center Grove game. With the ball on the 42 yard line and thirty-two sec- onds left to play the Red Pride Re- serves scored two touchdowns to turn a defeat into a victory.

‘Guys and Dolls’ brings New York to Plainfield The doors of Aiken Auditorium opened on November 9 to a minia- ture New York City. After six long weeks of concentrated rehearsals, the curtain rose on the PHS presentation of Frank Loesser’s Guys and Dolls. No longer an exclusive production of the high school chorus, this musi- cal involved the entire music and art departments as well as the drama club. Directing was even a joint ven- ture as Mrs. Martha Cowen staged the show while Mr. Tommy Thomp- son coordinated the music. Improvisation was the key for Mrs. Kathy Hamilton’s art club in efforts to execute their impressionistic set design. Shaping and hammering scraps of cardboard and lumber, these junior architects fashioned a portable sewer, night club, mission, and street scene. House lights dimmed, the overture ended, and srs. Melissa Lewellyn (Sa- rah) and Teresa Rentsehler (Ade- laide) made their stage debuts oppo- site veteran actors Barry Philips (Skye) and Bill Mackey (Nathan). Then, suddenly the last nerve frazzling performance was over; the final curtain fell; the exhausted cast could relax. And relax they did with a swinging celebration at the home of sr. Sandra Gifford. Luck he a lady tonight!’ sr. Barry Phillips, from his vantage point on the box. implores the fates to favor his toss of the dice. Dunng rehearsals of “I love you a bushel and a peck,” sr. chorus girls Beth Colescott and Debbie Myers strut in front of sr. scarecrow Karen Ausman. ‘7 don't suppose you have anything stronger? sr. Barry Phillips quips as sr. Sam Smith pours him a cup of coffee while sr. Melissa Lewellyn snickers behind him. Present in hand, jr. Bill Mackey embraces sr. Teresa Kentschler as she exclaims, Oh. Na- than, you're so sweet!” Strolling down the avenue, soph, police officer Tony McGraw is ready to take on all crap shooters with zeal. Might makes right according to sr. gambling boss Chris Hardin and he demonstrates this philosophy to his cohorts with his rough han- dling of jr. Bill Mackey in their disagreement over the rules of the game. MUSICAL 25
