My Fair Lady takes viewers to England Place: London Time: 1912 Setting: Outside Covent Garden after the opera When leaving the opera, Henry Higgins (Don Meissner) who studied accents and languages met up with Eliza Dolittle (Lauri Rice), a girl who sold flowers in the street, and Colonel Pickering (Phil Smith), who was an old acquaintance. Higgins made a bet with Pickering that he could change Eliza’s Cockney accent and refine her to the point that he could pass her as royalty at the upcoming Embassy Ball. After five months of hard work her new speech and manners were tested at the horse races. She forgot all her learning, causing quite a scene and attracted the attention of Freddy Hill (Mark Loeffler) who fell in love with her. After six more weeks of lessons, Eliza went to the ball and was a complete success. Presented Nov. 8 and 9, director-designer Ruth Schlobohm concluded, My Fair Lady was a real experience involving many students who worked very well together to produce a high quality show. I was very pleased with their performance. 4 18 . . . Musical

Siemek, Korgie reign at celebration While candy canes and snowflakes danced above the merrymakers, visions of Christmas trees, giant stuffed animals and brightly wrapped packages added to the festivities, each making apparent the theme of this year’s traditional Snowball Dance, “Santa’s Workshop.” The winter celebration was held Saturday, Dec. 18. Senior candidates were selected by a point system with finalists being announced Dec. 10. Snowball royalty was then chosen by a vote of the entire student body. Unlike years before, the coronation of the Snowball candidates took place on the Discoverer mats before the varsity meet against Grand Island. Ken Siemek and Jane Korgie were crowned king and queen. Proceding the wrestling meet, couples attended the Snowball Dance where the band Diamond Dust entertained. Student Council sponsored Snowball. i 20. . . Snowball
