Harvey Hops Into Snider ' s Fall Play The Result? Success! Have I seen a what? A rabbit, 6 feet tall? No, I ' m sorry, I haven ' t. Well, Harvey may have been invisible, but the Snider student body really enjoyed seeing it. This year Snider ' s Fine Arts Department produced Harvey . The funny yet serious story of a compassionate man - Elwood P. Dowd, who keeps company with an invisible six foot rabbit, Harvey. Andy Weissert did an excellent job playing Elwood, one almost felt that there really was a rabbit on stage. Stacia Wallace also added believability to the play in her part as Elwood ' s sister, Vera. The cast of Harvey was made up of veterans from plays and musicals of years past and a few acted in summer productions sponsored by Snider ' s Drama Department. All members felt a sense of loyalty to each other. No matter how big or small the part, all helped in making scenery and state props. The fact that Harvey could be enjoyed by the whole family, and had played in theatres and on Broadway could have attributed to the play ' s success. To sum up the play, all members did an excellent job in expressing the need to accept a person, no matter how different, no matter how large that ' person ' may be!

Feliz Navidad . . . Joyeux Noel Frohe Wcihnnchten . . . In Satur- nalia, no matter how you say it, it still means Merry Christmas. Last Christ- mas the foreign language classes decorated their classrooms accord- ingly. The Spanish rooms were decorat- ed with brightly colored Latin Amer ican lamps. The lamps were ornamented with figurines represent- ing different Central American cultures. To add brilliance to spirit, colorful ribbons hung from the lamps. Other projects made by the Spanish students were beautiful piriatas of all shapes and sizes, and of course, wooden ornaments to brighten the tree. The French classes, not willing to be out done, made joyous banners displaying Christmas salutations in French. Beautiful mobiles balanced playfully from the ceiling. The German classes stayed with tradition in that they decorated the tree with German ornaments. The Latin classes decorated their rooms with lacy snowflakes and simulated stained glass windows. When the lights were turned out, spirit was aglow. ABOVE LEFT: Edie Hinman spreads Christmas cheer with a bright smile and displays a traditional German outfit.
