Dramatists Staze November 'Blithe Spirit' Blithe Spirit, a farce written by Noel Coward, takes place in England in the 1940's. Charles Condomine fBrad Burtl invited a medium to hold a seance to prove -that all that hocus-pocus is nonsense. When Madame Arcati tTami Snedecori arrived, Charles got quite a surprise when his first wife, Elvira lCindy Burkettl appeared. A few more surprises were in store for Charles from both his present wife, Ruth lEllen Swanl, and his maid, Edith lYvette Gozal. Adding Dr. and Mrs Bradman fChris Ottis and Karla Heynl to the scene helped create a landslide of laughter until Charles finally got his revenge. Directed by Mrs. Agnes Denson and Pam Foster, assistant director, Blithe Spirit demanded the polished acting talents of the department's stage veterans. The three-act farce required constniction of some elaborate scenes depicting the period, and a host of other special audio and visual effects. The kids were a bit disappointed that the audiences each night were small, but the production came off quite well. They had never tried a play of this type before, explained Mrs. Denson. t Production personnel included Randy Henderson, stage manager.

Gateway to arad is Juniors Honor Seniors In Year s Most Formal Aff For a number of years the prom hasn't been the main topic of discussion the Monday after, but in 1982 a casual listener could here excited mutterings about the years most formal event for almost a week after it occured. ' The juniors' theme choice, Gateway to Paradise, tumed out to represent the most unforgettable of evenings all year. Bay City's new Holiday Inn hosted the April 17 formal with accomodations second to none outside of Las Vegas, or perhaps, Clute. Although dining on fried chicken in a S100 dress or a rented tux seemed a bit awkward, the meal was good, the K-Disc music was good, the unique mixture of casual with formal was good. In fact, everyone found the whole setting somewhat intriguing. When we used to split by ten o'cIock, we were still dancing after midnight that night. Familiar couples, unfamiliar couples, unlikely couples each contributed a unique presence that will never be duplicated in the same way. ln the words of one student, l thought proms were a bit old fashioned until I went to this one.
