I guess that parent ' s weekend exists for three different entities: First, it ' s for the parents to see the school for which they are shelling out thousands of bucks to have little Junior or Susie at- tend. Then, it ' s also for the students who really miss their parents — this is a chance they have to see them without having to pay for gas to go home. And lastly, parent ' s weekend is for the school. I mean, if you get the parents here, they will be more apt to give their money and donations to Taylor. — Tim Cope RIGHT; Dino Kartsonakis provided the classy en- tertainment on the evening of October 2.

F Fall Drama 1 Ten Little Indians; When the Circus Comes to Town Welcome to the Little Theatre LEFT; Agatha Christie ' s Ten Little Indians was directed by Doug Oliver, and was performed dur- ing Homecoming Weekend to packed audiences. BELOW LEFT: When the Circus Comes to Town was an innovative experiment performed by Tay- lor ' s Oral Interpretation Class, using script col- lected by Director Ollie Hubbard. BELOW: In 10 Little Indians, murders were be- ing committed, but no one knew who the guilty party was, and as Lori Miller and Dave Shipley show here, suspicions ran high. I believe that one ' s imagination, and one ' s abili- ty to channel that imagination into the creative process known as art is a primary aspect of the Image of God that we human beings bear. Therefore, when one is artistic, one embodies an important aspect of God ' s character, and in the process God is glorified. Because of this, my ex- perience in directing was a very memorable one. — Doug Oliver In ' When the Circus Comes to Town, ' poetry, songs, skits, and clowning combine to express a clown ' s view of what life is all about: creating laughter, spreading cheer, sharing talents, and making the most of each moment. Man ' s rela- tionship to God IS also examined by looking at all these values. — Ollie Hubbard Activities — 27

r Parent ' s Weekend October 2-4, 1981 and Children 1 Visitation, Entertainment, Parent ' s Weekend; the time when my room IS clean, my posture is correct, Pro- fessor Corduan is almost formal, the foot- ball team loses by two touchdowns, my tray gets spilled while walking to the salad bar, my studies gam new and meaningful consistency, and my cheek gets pinched by people I do not know.
