KC 7? poi p0U,l l l Cleveland High School was proud of the colorful production given on the nights of May 6 and 7, 1948. The reason for this pride was the fact that this was the nrst show created, managed and produced by the students of the school. Yes, they not only participated in this successful show, but planned it every inch of the way. This new experiment brought into view new and hidden talents. - The opening scene was a jungle treatment of Civilization, with the title song, sung by Mike Fortner, and the Girl's Trio. It was followed by a ceremonial dance proving that they, too, did not want to leave the jungle. Scene Two gave way to 'Stormy Weather, sung by attractive Sally Klopmeyer.
