Like many a President's term in office, a young lady's sweet sixteenth birthday comes only once. And so in honor of the occasion, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter showed up at Woodward Academy last week to take Amy and three school girlfriends out for a surprise family dinner in Atlanta. In addition to the requisite birthday cake, Amy received a bouquet of balloons and a few gifts. But she was back at the private boarding school for the p.m. curfew. She entered Woodward as a junior this fall. And, who knows, the once retiring Amy may follow...
...cake in the form of two important Tory birthdays: the party's 100th and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's 58th. It was, then, an occasion for especially lusty renditions of God Save the Queen and Land of Hope and Glory. Above all, it was a moment of sweet triumph for Thatcher...

...classical and neither dramatic nor human. Sandra Shipley as Thaisa plays her role with quiet understanding and control. With only a few lines, she surmounts Pericles as the family's core. Jeannie Affelder '83 as Marina speaks and moves with soulless uniformity, relieved only by her song, which is sweet and sonorous. Other high points include Paul Redford '81 as the gregarious and amusing buffoon king, Simonides, Sindri Anderson as the turned-evil Dionyza, and Brian McCue '80 in a grab-bag of roles...
