Oklahoma! The Choral Department presented the musical “OKLAHOMA” which ran for seven nights and one matinee. The cast was plagued with many mishaps. The original “Laurey” had to be ad- mitted to the hospital and had to give her part up. Rick “Curly” Vallejo also had to be admitted to the hospital. He was able to keep his part, but missed a number of important practices. Kelly “Ado Annie” McKinney suffered sickness and was unable to attend many practices. In spite of the mishaps, the play had a successful run. Clockwise from top, page 12: Rick “Curly” Val- lejo tries to convince Robert “Judd” Wait not to take Laurey to the dance.
