Sir Toby and crew forge a letter from Olivia, making Malvolio believe that Olivia is in love with him. The play ends with Orsino mar- rying Viola, Sebastian marrying Olivia, Sir Toby marrying Maria, and everyone else living happily ever after,

Purdue Calumets Purdue Calumet’s Pipers hosted the Knights of Marion College for their Homecoming bout December 3. The game took place at the new Munster Fieldhouse as part of a double-header with the Munster High School varsity. Although cold weather kept at- tendance for the game down, spirit was high as the Pipers fought val- iently to win their Homecoming game. Half-time was a solemn af- fair because the team was behind. The final, heart-breaking score was Pipers 54, Knights 98. The star for the Pipers was Lonnie Chase who scored 26 of the 54 points. Unguarded, Lonnie Chase goes in for a lay-up and adds two points to the losing Piper effort. Tension mounts as Ken Goodwin takes careful aim for the needed free throw point. Piper Pete and the cheerleaders eye the game from the sidelines after building in their first Homecoming venture. spirit for Pipers
