It took a full two hours to put it on and a week to wear it off! Did you happen to notice a few abnormal characters wandering the halls this fall? People of every color of the rainbow wearing strange garb tlitted through the corridors of Silver Creek. Don't worry, you werentt losing your marbles. These were just your everyday woodland spirits, members of the cast of nA Midsummer Nightts Dream? They wore a variety of hues to accentuate their supernatural aspects. Maquillage played a large part of the production of a ttMidsummer Nightts Dream? PACE Mrs. Dianne Ems, director, took a five weeks course at Ball State University covering theater construction and general make-up, and she decided to put that knowledge to use. Some of the designs were quite intricate- students arrived two hours ahead of time to prepare for performances. Grease paint, derma-wax, and spirit gum can work miracles; they can completely transform the facial features. Of course, make-up is much easier to put on than take off. You try scrubbing it oft and you try soaking it off, but you still have a tinted body.

SHAKESPEARE S.C. dramatists produce the master playwritets A Midsummer Nightts Dream with dedicated skill By Kathy Johnson Silver Creek Theatreis fall presentation was William Shakespeareis MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM. The pro- duction was a first of its kind. The play was a first in the sense that the student body had never done Shakespeare before. It presented many barriers, with a variety of solutions. Perhaps the major problem was the antiquated language. This was overcome by using a western motitt as a con- temporary parallel. The , familiar setting helped people relate the dialogue to the plot. Another drawback was the stage, which was in the courtyard. It was the perfect setting, but it limited the show in such areas as lighting, volume, rehearsals, and even show dates. Details had to be omitted because it was an outside production. These problems are a thing of the past, outdated now due to the new audi- torium. Just one more way Silver Creek is keeping pace.

Raising money is never tun; but this year, with the recession, it has been harder than ever. Students have used the traditional projects. Car washes, bake sales, and dances have been around forever. Then there were the more bizarre features such as the haunted gym, powder puff football, and Halloween insurance. Another device that organizations take advantage of is the selling of merchandise. Huge sums of money were raised in this manner in spite of the recession. Sponsors choose products according to the margin of the profit and quality - fruit cakes, candles, and candy are excellent examples.
