Horror bites audience Wolves howled, bat wings fluttered, and fog rolled into McGuire Hall when the Drama Club presented Dracula this fall. Eighteen new and seasoned performers combined to enact this classic mystery. The drama focused on a sanatorium plauged by the infamous vampire and his cohorts. Darrin Miller led the cast as the suave villain. Bob Craig played his chief opponent, Dawn Dewitt was Dracula’s hopeless victim, David Ve-cera, her fiance, and Chris Murrah, the owner of the sanatorium. Mike McEvoy’s creative special effects provided that special mysterious atmosphere, and director David Cobine contributed able leadership. Club members and volunteers gave invaluable assistance in making costumes, applying make-up, designing T-shirts, and working backstage.

But all-time favorite part-timers are those with fast-food chains, gas stations, and the local papers. Whether for college or for pleasure, students will always find the need for part-time jobs. And whatever the job, that extra money puts smiles on teenage faces. WRONG AISLE?—Seniors Mike Rice and John Wardlow help each other stock goods at Long’s. 30 People Working
