‘Harvey’ Remains Invisible Weisiaceware of the traditional visible star by an invisible six-foot rabbit was the most unusual aspect of the first all school play Harvey, by Mary Chase. Conflict arises when Elwood P. Dowd (Chris Onderko) begins to see and talk to the invisible rabbit Harvey, much to the dismay of his eccentric sister Veta Louise Sim- mons (Carol Ryder) and her daughter Myrtle Mae (Michal Bintliff). Presented in the Commons, the play utilized a full arena stage with the audience situated around the actors. Lighting was arranged by Drama II and III, and direction was skillfully supervised by Mr. Richard Lanier and student directors Lisa Bigley, Teri Campbell, and Sandy Morris.

Medieval Setting, ‘Knights In White An entrance of white satin and a silver foil castle set the mood for the Christmas Ball ‘‘Knights in White Satin.” Sponsored by Girls’ League, the dance required hours of preparation. Table decorations — the castle and lighted Christmas trees — were arranged by chairmen Kelly Cow- brough, Virginia Grosso, Carol Wil- son and Girls’ League members. Pan- ama Rea, a Beaverton group provided music for the 180 couples. Election of the court was changed slightly this year. Instead of the whole student body voting for the girls in class, only the couples at the dance could vote. T he court chosen included Queen Donna Secanti, Sen- ior Princess Debbie Thompson, Junior is Princess Michelle Coen, and Sopho- i =a —« more Princess Amy Monteith. Straining to hear above the music, Lisa Bigley concentrates on Jim Badden’s story. 1973 CHRISTMAS BALL COURT — Michelle Coen, Bob Tjomsland, Debbie Thompson, Scott Roots, Queen Donna Secanti, Pat Foutz, | Amy Monteith and Gary Bailey. } 20 Christmas Ball
