Assemblies Relieved Weekly Routine THE WHISTLERS - This act at the Foreign Students Assembly brought down the house. Ruth Oster (left) and Donna McGary sang, danced, and whistled as members of HIGH HARMONY - At the Foreign Students Assembly this quartet struck awe into the student body with their abundance of talent and great rythm. They are (from left): Walt Maciborsky, Gordie Graham, Wayne Skonberg and Richard Roderick. the Royal Canadian Belly Dancer Society. In case you are wondering, the girls ' heads are up near the peak of the hats. A GRUESOME TRAGEDY of blood and greed is Shakespeare ' s Macbeth and an RCC cast, directed by Robert Dyer, played it to perfection. The tyrannical protagonist, Macbeth, was de- picted with interpretive depth by Jim Funk. Lady Macbeth, who urged her stalwart husband to his murderous deeds, was given a stunning portrayal by Linda Chase. Joel Weiss played the avenging Macduff who was not of woman born and who moved with Birnam Wood to Dunsinane to cut the throat of Macbeth. The play was well-received by the students, and the critics liked it too. There have been thousands of productions of Macbeth since Shakespeare wrote it in the 16th century. Each one has been different than any other because of the wide interpretive range which an actor may give to the protagonist, or an actress to Lady Macbeth. The RCC production fol- lowed in the tradition; it was truly a distinctive and a distinguished performance.

Cheerleaders RCC CHEERLEADERS are (from left to right) Dario Vasquez, Jenny Gray, Hershel Cherson, Jackie Wilson, and Randy Snook. Yea Team Rah CHEERLEADING AND SONGLEADING is an end- less number of sacrifices and those who fill these jobs deserve more than merely congratulations for a job well done, but possibly an honorary de- gree. It is true that Jackie, Randy, Dario, Hershey, and Jenny spent a lot of cold Friday nights cheer- ing RCC ' s fine football team to victory when they could have been on a date or merely enjoying the game from the warm, comfortable stands. Yet these dedicated people saw the results of their efFort at the State Basketball Tournament in Bakersfield as they led an enthusiastic RCC crowd which shouted its team to victory. And RCC ' s peppy and captivating songleaders Elaine, Sue, Georgia, Debbie, and Joann gave up a lot of free time in order to cook up their cute routines. They somehow kept smiling and their enthusiasm rubbed off on all of us as they performed every- where from table tops and homecoming floats to football fields and basketball courts. These people get very little praise for the service they render to our school but it is now appropriate that they be thanked for a very fine performance. They Brewed College Spirit h M d m, «

Great Tragedy A GRUESOME TRAGEDY of blood and greed is Shakespeare ' s Macbeth and an RCC cast, directed by Robert Dyer, played it to perfection.

The RCC production fol- lowed in the tradition; it was truly a distinctive and a distinguished performance. LAY ON, MACDUFF - Macduff, as portrayed here by Joel Weiss (left), clashes with the tyrannical but tired Macbeth (Jim Funk) in the final moments of the RCC production of Macbeth . Never mind those 20th century shoes on Macduff; he won anyway. I.ADY MACBETH - Linda Chase, as that most venerable of all Shakespearian heavies, contemplates her once- white hands which have been etched in blood. Her horrible crimes have finally started to bother her conscience and her insomnia shows it. 17
