Rear male nudity, copious cleavage,
and colorful costumes will be some of the
more outstanding aspects of this month’s
best bet “The Country Wife” by William
Wycherly, the final major drama
department production of the year.
The raucous, bawdy restoration
comedy will run May 2-5 and 7-11 nightly
at 8:15 at Summit School on Reynolda
Road.
The plays central theme revolves
around the efforts of Harry Homer, the
main character, to cuckold every
husband in the play. He is aided in his
venture by a widely circulated rumor
that he has been made impotent by a
treatment for a case of the clap. Lee
Ewing, a transfer student from Ken
tucky, plays the lecherous lad. His is the
nude male rear referred to in the first
paragraph.
'llirough Homer’s amourous efforts we
meet a trio of delightful dainties “whose
virtue is their greatest affectation”;
Mrs. Fidget, played by Lori Lindberg;
her sister Dainty Fidget, played by
Kathy Lindsay; and their cousin Mrs.
Squeamish, played by Prudence Mason;
who expose not only their reputations but
also their cleavage.
Fadra LeBlanc plays the title role of
the naive country wife plagued by her
‘ ‘musty’ ’ husband, Pinchwife, ,portrayed
by Philip DeMarco.
In contrast to the bawdiness of the rest
of the play Wycherly includes a subplot of
lovers unencumbered by mores of the
time. Charlotte Nelson and Rod Franklin
play Alithea and Harcourt, the true
lovers in the play.
The plot is rounded out by Fred Serino
playing Sparkish, a fop who cannot be
made jealous; Margot Dionne playing
Old Lady Squeamish, a dirty old lady;
and Glynne O’Malley playing Sir Jasper
Fidget, a trusting husband.
Set design for the play is by D&P
student, Cam Baird; costumes by D&P
staff member Larry Ropp; lighting by
D&P student Paul Pavis, and music
composed by John Gray, a high school
composition student.
Sight gags, pratfalls, dances, music,
and good humor abound. “The Country
Wife” is the best bet for a good time this
month.

Presenting the newest varsity team sport in the
world: Ultimate Frisbee! Ultimate Frisbee is the best
team frisbee game I’ve ever heard of. Rather than being
an adaptation of another game, it is a game that was
developed specifically to be played with a frisbee.
The game began when a certain Mr. Osinski, a
security officer at Columbia High School in Maplewood,
NJ., organized some frisbee contests, (with trophies
made from hubcaps) in the hopes of giving the students
something “to keep ’em out of trouble.” At first, he said,
they were “just joshin’ around.” Then, they decided to
make team sport out of it, and Ultimate Frisbee was
born.
The Columbia Students soon organized the first
Varsity Frisbee team, with Coca Povone, the school’s
custodian, as coach. Then they ran off some rule sheets
and inspired other schools to organize teams.
Since then, the sport has grown. According to Mr.
Osinski, 1500 - 1600 official rule books have been sold to
people from many parts of the country, there are high
school teams all over New Jersey, and Columbia grads
have organized teams at Rutgers and Princeton.
The rules of the game are simple, and the only
equipment needed is a frisbee. The field is rectangular
with goal lines at both ends. A team scores points by
completing a pass across their goal line. The play begins
with a throw-off, which the receiving team may catch or
take where it lands.
The frisbee may be moved only by passing. The player
in possession may pivot on one foot as in basketball.
Passes may be intercepted, blocked, etc. If a pass is
incomplete or the frisbee goes out of bounds, the other
team immediately takes possession of the frisbee at the
point where it lands or where it crossed the lateral
boundry.
I have found that, although it is often hard to get
people interested in this sport, those who play it once
usually play it again.
The first NCSA Ultimate Frisbee game will take place
April 21st at 2;00 PM on the Moore-Sanford field.
Everyone is invited!
If you’re interested in getting an official rule book*
send 25 cents to: CHS Varsity Frisbee team, 17 Parker
Avenue, Maplewood, New Jersey.
And remember— Frisbee is the sport of the People.
