Senior Eddie Bynum looks on in disbelief as Mary ,lo O'Leary creates flowers for the little girls' doll house. inth Class Capers Brin The beginning of February found students from all three classes madly writing scripts for the an- nual production of Class Capers. Throughout the four week period preceding the class skits, casts were chosen, chorus routines were practiced, music was transposed, sets were built, and many hours were spent in rehearsals. In order to gain points for their class, students pushed ticket sales for two weeks prior to the event. The amount of tickets given to each class in proportion to its number of students created an- other incentive for class spirit. Skits were judged on the basis of plot, how well the theme was portrayed, acting, costumes, scenery, and the orchestra and chorus. The tension and rivalry between classes came to a head as the amateur actors put on their shows for three nights before sellout audiences. At the close of the third night, the victor was selected by the judges. Fatigue sets in before opening nights as sophomores Ronnie Ball and Richard Sessums discover there is no business like s businessf' .lunior cast members Becky Graves and Susan Robertson also f time to help out with the final touches on scenery. gs Closest Competition wsvkssn Rechecking the color of paint for the sophomore set are Mike 1 and Gary Lane.
