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 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 16fh 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. 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

Her Majesty. IN AN AGE when advertising agencies love to portray tigers as passengers in gas tanks or sym- bols of pseudo-masculinity, it was a pleasure to see a somewhat dainty blonde named Queen Tiger or, as it is more commonly called, Home- coming Queen. In fact, all of the girls who ran for the Homecoming Royalty were uncommonly good looking. The decision must have been diffi- cult for both the judges and the student body. Miss Hannon, of course, has been a very busy girl around campus ever since she arrived. She was AWS President, Gamma Nu sorority presi- dent, and an active member of various and sundry other RCC organizations. Not only that, she even made the Dean ' s List. She didn ' t just attend high school, she attended high school out of the country, at Kaiserslautern, Germany. She majored in foreign languages at RCC, with a teaching career eventually, and a student career immediately, at UCR. ..Princesses HOMECOMING PRINCESSES Donna Robinson (above) and Eadie Richards (left) completed the Homecoming court. The photos show what was obvious to anyone attending the ceremonies — that this year ' s Queen and Princesses could rank with the best in the categories of beauty, brains, and charm. Miss Robinson is a Sociology major who gradu- ated from Ramona High School and hopes to go on to California State College, Fresno. She has held the highest offices in Gamma Nu and has been secretary to the ASB Cabinet. She has also been a Dream Date candidate and was Gamma Nu candidate for Woman of Distinction in 1965. Miss Richards graduated from Poly High and has been active in Gamma Nu sorority. She was a Mardi Gras candidate and has participated wide- ly in student government. She is a physical edu- cation major and hopes to transfer to the Uni- versity of Arizona at Tucson. She was sponsored in the competition by Kappa Upsilon. 19
