Snobbery, deception, and wealth make ttThe Philadelphia Story A Great Success ttThe Philadelphia Storyh is a drama that focuses on the eccentric characters of a wealthy family tthe Lordst who have been overcome with high class snobbery, wicked deception, and self-appointed sophistication! The arrival of the production brought about many new and unexpected changes. Tracy Lord, the lead role, was portrayed by Jeanie Straight, jr., and the script called for red hair. Jeanie, being a blonde brought her character to life by temporarily dying her hair. Since the story takes place in the late t30ts and early t40ts, the male actors were asked to momentarily dispose of their 803 hair styles and get an inch or ttmorett taken off! After all the changes and six weeks of rigorous rehearsals, the fourteen performers were finally ready for an audience. However, unforeseen difficulties occurred! Jeanie was hospitalized for three days thereby causing a show date delay. When she recovered, the show went on, only one week later than originally scheduled. Elizabeth Yost, as Dinah Lord, boasts about her achievement. Staring intently 0-0 is Andy Flickner, Jeanie Straight, Enc Potts, Stephanie Eppler, Tim Eaton, and Christy Powell. $..;zo:.laemww. uj. .4; $....:..n-e Au. Wt U .rz- T'P'L, Azrj V 1.

Student Directors; A plea of insanity or ? The job of a student director just cant be simplified! From the first rehearsal to the final show itts a constant re- sponsibility. The theatre depart- ment in the past school year presented three productions, each with its own student director. The first itYotfre A Good Man Charlie Browni, was student dir- ected by Jenny Shreve, sr., itThe Philadelphia Story - Jamie Tungate, jr., and ttCamelotti -- Stephanie Eppler, sr. The many chores of an assistant director consist of prompting lines, keeping track of blocking, reigning over the prop crew, lights person, and sound person, basic organization, and even running errands. The only requirements for the position are that you must be a junior or senior, and you must have some kind of experience with theatre. Jamie Tungate replied, I thought The Philadelphia Story was one of the best plays S.C. has produced. Being student director was a wonderful experience, and it would be great if more people could have the privilege. Pd like to continue participating in theatre, but as for being student director again, Pd rather give others a chance. by: Paul Brinley I x Tracy Lord, portrayed by Jeanie Straight, jr., throws a dazzling smile towards conniving Mike Connor, played by Tim Eaton, sr., who gains some courage from a little booze. ai- 7 a me T Sharing a moment of sisterly love is Jeanie Straight, alias Tracy Lord, jr., and Elizabeth Yost, soph., playing Dinah Lord, trying to make it in their confused and troubled lives.

Working fOI' n0 3, Once upon a time there were two little classes: Journalism and Publications. Now these two groups, through hard work and almost ttmythical'i AW 0 r d Wi n ni n dedication, somehow manage to prepare the I g newspaper and the yearbook for publication. E Journalism learned about the different aspects of journalistic writing, while the Publications class legacy goes on valiantly strove to complete ttThe Silver Leaves. Their great mentor, Mr. Terry McCartin, took each of them on a little trip: Journalism toured 32-Alive, iiThe Courier-Journal , and the Printing House for the Blind, and Publications went to I.U.S. Award,s Day, winning first place for itThe Typing is a necessity for Publications Silver Leaves, and second place for tiThe Creekis class. Using her skills on the crippled C t ,, typewriter is Kelly Brasill, sr. Kelly is urren ' . editor of the ,85 senior section. Wendy Booker served as edltor for the book. Booker and Gibson: Editing the uLeaves Confident in this yearis iiSilver Leaves? seniors Wendy Booker, editor, and Greg Gibson, sports editor and photog- rapher, are two who give their best. Wendy and Greg went to IUS this year and came back prideful. Both en- tered a newswriting con- test. Greg took first place and also won tiBest Fea- ture P i c t u r eii while Wendy won first on tiCampus Events? When asked what he liked about publications, Greg answered, iiJust the , fact that thirteen kids can get together and produce an award winning yearbook. Wendy also commented on the class, tTve learned a lot of responsibility. Itis not too much fun, but the staff makes it easier. They know what theyire doing and take their job seriously? Academically, Greg and Wendy are very active. Greg is second in his class With a g.p.a. of 3.9 while Wendy is seventh with a g.p.a. of 3.78. Both Wendy and Greg are awaiting scholarships and want to attend Indiana University. Wendy plans to be a child psy- chologist or a literature teacher while Greg wants to further his education in journalism in the field of broadcasting or newspaper and he still wants to continue taking pictures.
