SKtLE NITE 7T5 At 8:30 P.M. on February 12, 1975, the house lights dimmed, a hush fell over the theatre, the Hart House curtains opened revealing the stage basked in a blue glow from the cyclorama and twenty-four bubbling thespians burst from the wings to introduce themselves to the audience. Thus, as its symbol suggested, SKULE NITE 7T5 went off with a cannonating bang. Skule Nite has been regaining recognition and popularity since its revival for the centennial in 1973. This year ' s show was acclaimed by many to be the best in recent years. Skule Nite 7T5 is what is expected, but then it ' s what is wanted. It is really very enjoyable There are some very witty skits in the production this year . The Varsity, (yes. The Varsity). If you missed it, you missed the best show of this University, this year The Toike (an impartial viewpoint). The scintillating success (thanks Danny) was the product of the enthusiasm and esprit de corps of the 50 people who made up the Skule Nite team. When the cast first congregated in early January, it became evident that anything the male members may have lacked in urbanity would be hidden by the overabundance of gorgeous girls. While the cast rehearsed in Cody Hall, the stage crew spent many days and sleepless nights in Room 32 building props and making submarine runs when everyone was hungry. And before we leave the topic of stage crew, we should congratulate Don Buchan and the folks back- stage. The Hart House Theatre staff proclaimed them the most efficient, well organized stage crew they ' d ever seen. The greatest thanks should go to Mike Cox, the Producer, and Steve Cress, the Director. They worked on the show steadily for the whole year, from organizing the writing meetings in the summer to tying up loose ends at the last minute. Steve got the best out of his cast with his sincere, relatively quiet (foraa director) approach and his philosophy of ' Sell it ' . Mike ' s spirit and enthusiasm throughout the year was contagious. Skule Nite ' s first SELL OUT in recent history is a direct result of Mike ' s leg work in the publicity department. And yes, it ' s true that when he ordered the programs he talked the printer into taking two tickets to the show as partial payment. A classic!! As usual, when the curtains closed and the applause finally died down on closing night, planning began for Skule Nite 7T6. Happy trails to you until we meet again - next year. ii I CANNON BALL
