Not being totally snowbound at any particu- lar time during the winter of '78-'79, blizzard lovers were somewhat disappointed. Decem- ber left us with a cold, grey picture, barren of all signs of snow-until Christmas Eve... then from the darkening sky, the frosted crys- tals decided to give us a storybook white Christmas. Brilliant lights of Hannukah shone in the windows, and all families were together in peace... School meant illegal snowball fights, and six fire alarms in one week to rush us out into the freezing cold, a talent show with every- thing from four Sweet Adelines to a punk band Refuse , the first Birmingham Winter Carnival, the friendly white slopes of Bright- on, Holly, and Pine Knob...Biting cold winds, negative wind chill factors, hot chocolate and firesides...t11en thoughts of a sunny spring to look forward to. . . 28 Winter i E .

Motivate that cross! Project! Articulate! Learn your lines! Those were just some of the things you might have heard in passing by the Little Theatre before November 15. N0 one could ever realize how much work went into a production like that with all the time devoted to building sets, learning lines and sewing costumes. In the end all the au- dience saw was a smooth running show. The Matchmaker opened on November 15 and ran four nights. It all took place in the Little Theatre at 8:00 p.m. The first two nights the theatre was not very full, but the show caught on and by the last two nights it was almost sold out. The crowd seemed to en- joy the four act farce. The show was a comedy about a meddling matchmaker, Dolly Levi Uanie Bultrudj, who goes around matching up couples while she's trying to match herself with a wealthy client, Mr. Horace Vandergelder U im Frankel. Others who get matched up by Mrs. Levi are Irene Molloy QDawn Apkarianj and Cornelius Hackl fBob Saoudj, also Minnie Fay Uulie Anbenderj and Barnaby Tucker fTim Moshierj. The rest of the cast helped greatly to make the play a success. They are Pam Cripps, Dave Nygaard, David Ackermann, Kathy Turnbull, Russell Levine, John Arno,Jeff Parker, Bill Albert, Jeff Bellefleur, Maureen Bridge and Nicole Lemieux. Overall The Matchmaker was a big success. E
