I saw Dracula the other night. Normally, this is not the kind ot thing one admits in print, but the experience was really memorable. Seated just outside the sitting room of a private British sanitorium, a large group of us witnessed a strange series of events. We were introduced to a group of characters which included doctors, servants, deranged and possessed individ- uals, and, of course, Dracula. Each of these characters had a part to play in the drama, and they played them well. The erie lights and sounds which accompanied the entrances and exits of Dracula, played by Scott Anderson, sent shivers up and down the spine. After the final groans and screams had faded, there were images which remained etched in the mind. There were Lucy Westenra, played by Laura Memos, and Jonathan Harker, played by Layne Sanden, who fell under the spell of the Count. There was Flenfield, played by Lewis Mayfield, who delighted us in an odd sort of way by climbing on furniture and eating flies. And there was Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, played by David Maguire, who proved that good can truly outwit evil. There are skeptics who claim that Dracula is a product of the imagination and not to be believed. Those of us who were there that night believe. -Drama Critic Sophomore Mark Wacker, senior Jodi Brasch, and junior Layne Sanden discuss the horrifying prospect of a vampire. ,dau fhhn... 1,3559 A W,-f i tu .... -in 'X N iii As Dr. Van Helsing, senior Dave Maguire consults Lucy, played by junior Laura Memos, about her medical condition.
