The oction centers oround two young men, Jock ond Algernon. Both men, who ore hiding little secrets lsnown on- ly to the other, ore in love with girls remorlsobly similor to one onother. The girls both feel they could only love men nomed Eornest. In order to win the heorts of their lody loves, Jock ond Algernon cloim to be Eornests ond molse clondestine preporotion to chonge their nomes, From this point the ploy develops into o riot of misunderstondings, white lies, ond cross-purposes. The dilem- mo is finolly resolved when Jock's nome is found to truly be Eornest due to hoving been left in o troin stotion os on infont ond odopted. A number of fine performonces odded to the oudience's enjoyment of the ploy. Suson Huff ond Chris Locquement were nominoted for the Irene Ryon Scholorship bosed on their performonces in The lmportonce of Being Eornest. Another outstonding chorocteristic of the production wos the eloborote sets ond outhentic costumes. Designed by professionols, they odded o sense of reolism ond believobili- ty to the performonce. - Beth Spicer 7 Left: Striking 0 ij of Being Eornes Below: Jock disp so.j L. L L l L . Lu l.

Saturday morning of Homecoming weekend brought the traditional parade to the streets of Liberty. This parade, like others, featured floats, clowns, bands and queens. But who was that couple riding in that car - Cutie Pan and Ugly Man? Are these super heroes from the Land of Oz? Wait, here's another car. Who were those people - Miss Peppy and Mr. School Spirit? Said who? Well, to the average person outside the touch of William Jewell College, these people may have seemed like per- sons being laughed at. On the contrary, Cutie PanfUgly Man and Miss PeppyfMr. School Spirit were and are some of the most sought after honors during Homecoming festivities at William Jewell. These four honors were not bestowed, however, in the usual manner. There were no resumes, no real need for qualifications other than a spiritual giving to William Jewell. Further, there wasn't a ballot cast. Rather, each person was voted on with money. Yes, money, that precious commodi- ty that each student had too little of and no real perception of when more would come. Each person gave of the change they had for the candidate of their choice. Really, this could be considered the most difficult vote to gain. Homecoming '85 saw Susan Ficking, fr. win Cutie Pan while Matt Meiners, jr. captured the coins for Ugly Man. Lori Freeze, jr. won Miss Peppy and Guy Boyer, so. received Mr. School Spirit. :rf- '3 ' V 5 H.. .1 Above: Mr. School Spirit, Guy Boyer, so., and Miss Peppy, Lori Freeze. jr., wave to parade bystanders.
