MUSIC DEPARTMENT Ever had an Oklahoma Hello? Well you have if you attended the production of “Oklahoma” presented by the Music department on May 19th, 20th, or 21st. The two lead roles of Laurey and Cyrly were played by Jill Molnar and Karl Linden, while Aunt Eller was portrayed by Sandy Sands, Tammy Ashby and Randy Levin as Ado Annie, Mike Siebelic as Will Parker, Fred Malo as Jud Fry, Jeff Gubitz as Ali Hakim, Jerry Livingston as Andrew Carnes, and Yvonne Satterblom as Gertie Cummings. Support- ing roles were held by Harold Smith as Ike Skidmore, Steve Walsh as Cord Elam, Doug Reed as Slim, and Jan Ferry as Ellen. Working under the direction of Richard Holmberg, the cast was assisted by Miss Anne Burgdorf, and Mrs. Helen Engstrom — Drama. Mr. Fort did an excellent job with the set design as well as helping out with the direction. Assisting these four were Ray Barton — lighting, Dale Rhoades — Student Di- rector, and Dick Good — Stage Manager. A special thanks went out to these people who made the production possible — and a huge success.
