Annie Get Your Gun . . . Do'in what comes naturally. Annie, girls should have knitting needles not guns. What was Richwood's best shot at musical hilarity in '76? No one should have to quess-- Annie Get Your Gun was a great success when per- formed May 6th and 7th. Senior Kathy Gabel as sharpshooting Annie, senior Mike Campbell as Buffalo Bill, sophomore Marty Moore as Frank Butler and the rest of the cast and dancers were very professional and gave us all something special to remember. Mr. Wayne Macomber was the director with the aid of Ruth Hanson as student director, Mr. Peters as set director, and Mrs. Kendall was dance choreo- grapher. The cast got along great and they all were very en- thusiastic about the production. It all paid off for everyone at- tending had a unique sort of experience and alot of fun. 3-4

The weekend of November 21-23 brought nervous an- ticipation to those in the cast of Our Town. The story was set in Grovers Corner, New Hampshire. It evolved around the events of two families, The Webb's and the Gibb's, and their friends, in the communuy. Emily Webb (Debbie McCarty) and George Tibbs (Tom Teak) are playmates who grow up together and even- tually get married. Emily dies in the childbirth of their second child. The grave scene proved both haunting and beautiful. There were no props used. The cast did a beautiful job of pantomiming. As a whole, the play was well done and quite an experience for all that were able to see it. The cast rehearsed for about seven weeks under the di- rection of Mr. Steve Peters. All those nights of a lit- tle less sleep than usual and those dinners which were literally thrown down your face seemed worth it the night of the actual performance. Before going on stage Dave Meyers rids himself of stage fright. In the cemetery scene Julie Fraser looks dead to the world. 33
