Musical Revue U With fantastic lighting, highly trained voices, and energetic dancing, Musical Revue II: Rock ' n ' Roll Is Here To Stay rocked in Hyde Chapel last May. Tracing the music and attitudes of American youth through the 50 ' s, the 60 ' s, and the 70 ' s, the talented cast packed the house three nights running. From Mindy Keyes ' opening Rollin ' on the River to Shelley Harrison and Ben Brunt ' s Devil Went Down to Georgia, it was non-stop entertainment. Favorite audience numbers were Bill White ' s Blueberry Hill and the Motown Medley by Kathie Johnson, Mindy Keyes, Amy Murrell, Karen Patterson, and Lacey Wadlington. Other show-stoppers were Amy Murrell ' s rendition of Memory and Kenneth Webber ' s hilarious readings of rock lyrics. Director Andy Saunders, good- humored but demanding, with Mr. Phillip Eikner (Costume Design), Mrs. Brenda Russell and Whitney Grizzard (Choreography), Mr. John Hiltonsmith (Music Direction), Bernhardt Trout (Lights), and Ryan Riggs (Stage Mgr.) provided the leadership for the veteran cast which included Carol Ann Carter, Cliff Goldmacher, Lee Harkavy, Andrea Sabesin, Jen McDearman, Michael Patterson, and Jonathan Ringel. Music was provided by a student band composed of Goldmacher, Grattan Brown, Tommy Garner, Mike Higginbotham, Jeff Schlosberg, and Julie Rim. Hey, bird dog, keep away from my quail! threatens Kenneth Webber as Trip Robertson and Brian Israel recoil in understandable terror, during a segment called Rock Lyrics Exposed. The audience rocks back and forth along with the cast during Andy Shelley ' s rendition of Rockin ' Robin. MUSICAL REVUE 11 15

Summer Blends 3 Work ■ Fun Exams are over. No more studying. No more pressure. No more school. So what happens now? Except for the unlucky ones sentenced to summer school, the classrooms are vacant. But from June to August the campus — as always — is crawling with students participating in camps, practices, and fund-raisers. Day Camp for boys ages 6 to 12 uses high schoolers as counselors. Cheerleaders must practice. Basketballers stay in shape. Footballers crank up in August. The Student Council mixed work with fun at three car washes and a garage sale held on the Student Lounge porch. Of course, no summer would be complete without some good old- fashioned loafing. But there were plenty of activities on campus to keep students in shape. Cheerleaders got started early in the summer. Virginia Reed sits atop David Gurley ' s shoulder in an early dance-routine practice. Day campers seem enthralled with Ramsey Hazemey ' s banter during a nature hike. Day Camp, run by Coach Jake Rudolph, always attracts over a hundred young boys, ages 6 to 12, to two three-week sessions. Giving an I. V. to a dog at the Germantown- Farmington Animal Hospital was but one of the tasks performed by Chris Joe, who worked as a lab technician four days a week during the summer. SUMMER 17
