FIRE AND ICE “ . . . Those Wild And Crazy Gals.” “Thursday Night Live” brought out many students’ hidden talents in the Talent Show. In between perfor- mances the choir filled in with skits that were take-offs from “Saturday Night Live.” Everyone enjoyed the show, especially those two “wild and crazy gals,” Nancie Ninteman and Patty Rodgers. During Friday’s pep fest, the King candidates participated in a three legged race with their escorts. The crowd cheered them on as Wally Peck and Jane Johnson crossed the finish line first. Not only did the R.H.S. cheerleaders show us how cool they were, but the Broomball cheerleaders showed us that they had balance when they built their body pyramid. Fire and Ice celebrations were con- cluded by the Fire and Ice Dance. A lot of rock and disco were played by the band “Starburst.” The theme song for the evening was “Just the Way You Are.” 28 Firc And Icc

ONE ACT PLAY “ . . . Comedy . . . But A Heavy Subject.” Looking up on stage, one might have wondered what kind of bizarre play was going on. Immediately one’s eyes were drawn to three masked, gro- tesque, old women who seemed to have an air of nobility. This was the start of The Drunken Sisters by Thornton Wilder, who incorporated Greek Mythology in his play. The cast consisted of four people: Rob Peitzman as Apollo, Barb Dou- den as Clotho, Leslie Rindal as Lach- esis, and Karin Cudd as Atropos. The Drunken Sisters was about Apollo, the god of the sun, who was kicked out of heaven by Zeus and became a servant on earth for a year. He came to love King Admetos and Queen Al- kestis, with whom he lived, but King Admetos was to die soon. Apollo, hoping to save the King, went to visit the three Greek fates, Clotho, Lach- esis, and Atropos, who determined life and death. Apollo got the sisters drunk by telling them the wine made Aphrodite beautiful. It was known that the sisters loved riddles, and, tak- ing advantage of the situation, Apollo told them a riddle. If they couldn’t answer, he got a wish.The riddle was: “What is it that is necessary to every live and that can save only one?” The sisters forfeited, and the answer was Apollo, the sun. King Admetos as was saved, but Queen Alkestis was to die in his place. According to Mrs. Holman, The play was hard to produce because it was a comedy but dealt with a heavy sub- ject.” Others who contributed to the perfor- mance were Leslie Rindal, Patty Mercier, Cathy Wick, and Monica Wittig who made up the stage crew. Pat Coleman was the student direc- tor. 30 One Act Play
