Thespians produce year’s only two-act play. A rip-roaring, hilariously funny Out of the Frying Pan was presented as the fall play October 17,18, and 19, 1974. Three actors and three actresses who are living together and trying to reach success lure a famous Broadway producer, Mr. Kenny, to watch them perform his play Mostly Murder . They entice Mr. Kenny into the apartment and even talk him into watching the play, but many tragic and funny mistakes happen and the whole neighborhood, including the police, get involved. Despite poor publicity, the drama department managed to make money on this overall good-quality comedy. Future actors were also born out of this as three-fourths of the supporting cast were underclass thespians. Clockwise From Above Left: The polic ferociously break into the actor's apart ment as Tony Dennison (Neil Ruckmar and Kate Ault (Liz Oetken)show signs disapproval. The hospital men (Neil Ruckman and Tom Korn) try to contro crazy George (Brian Willard). Mr. Col doesn't seem to like crazy George eith (Mitch Cook and Brian Willard). Arthu Kenny summarizes the fall play's philc phy Savior Faire Is Everywhere! Mur Foster (Ellen Doody) calls for a visit. ( Garnet (Valerie Hickey) explains the funny and unusual play that she has jus; seen to the police (Keith and Kevin Wilson).

Nostalgia sweeps Homecoming The nostalgic wave that has swept the country the past few years inspired West Albany's HOMECOMING 74': REMEMBER WHEN. On Monday, October 21, the dubbing assembly began a busy week filled with new events. A peanutbutter sandwich eating contest and a scoot race provided noon time entertainment. A serpentine rally through the downtown streets of Albany Thursday afternoon, related to the theme. Also on Thursday afternoon, a powder-puff football game between the junior and senior girls attracted many interested spectators. Spirit was high Friday and mums blossomed through the halls and at the game that night. The homecoming court was introduced and the band's special show featured AFS students at halftime. The dance after the game drew many couples and was a romantic and nostalgic conclusion. Clockwise: Aria Squibb and Greg Nicholson go through the tra tion of pinning on a mum. Melissa Barnes volunteers to assist Heidi Affolter, the magician. At the powder puff football gan senior girls rejoice over a touchdown. The band forms a bridg during halftime at the homecoming football game. . . n t t }}f S '• A - V .r • f i 1 • i i v i i ' r - 09
