In 1773 Oliver Goldsmith was
credited with "telling it like it
was", in his "rollicking comedy
classic, full of intrique and confu
sion, of young people in and out of
love and mischief."
As many other aspects of our
school have done, She Stoops rehear
sals .have been marching on too. The
acting majors have been majoring in
every form of acting you could think
of. The language of the period has
been a challenging problem. Randy
Rickman, portraying Young Marlowe,
has a jewel: "I don't think I like
this dkit." With a line like that
you really enunciate. However, in
Cindy Darlow's case, she just chang
ed a few words around. Cindy pr-
trays Mrs. Hardcastle and in one of
her scenes she, in a rage exclaims
"You are most miraculously polite
and engaging, and quite tlie very
pink of courtesy and circumspection."
When Cindy said it, it came out,
"You are most miraculously pOlite
and engaging, and quite the very
pink of courtesy and circumcision!"
Rehearsal was shot for at least
twenty minutes! David Wood, por
traying Mr. Hardcastle, walked down
stage to deliver an aside to the
audience, "I can contain myself no
longer!" When Powder, Leslie Hunt's
dog, resting quietly in the "asle,
belched out loud! Thirty minutes
lost again. Ira Quckerman has cer
tainly not escaped either. Thursday
night, October 30, he was attached
in his office by a screaming mob of
She Stoops cast members who tackled
him, threw him on the carpet, and
tickled him till he couldn't breath.
This is called releasing tension.
And so...Ecod, Pshaw, tch-tch
and Lud! Don't miss the play; its
going to be a "biggie"!!

It's November (?)
Did you know that the snow we
had this past week was by far the
earliest recorded snowfall of the
century for this area?' Hard to be
lieve, isn't it? The old record was
set way back in 1950, on November 24
the day after Thanksgiving, so thi§
is the first snow before Thanksgiving
we have ever had. And to think that
one week earlier we had summer-like
weather in the 80's!
