I LOVE, I LOVE, I LOVE MY CALENDAR GIRL Neil Sadaka's song Calendar Girls accented this year's pageant as each Senior contestant was clad in an outfit complimentary to her month. Many hours of hard work and preparation produced the lovely setting for the stage. Each contestant had previously been through the preliminary tryouts in order to become a finalist in the pag- eant. The Senior girls had further com- petition through an interview and the performance of a skit. Girls crowded around the mirror, hair spray in the air, the familiar sound of “how do I look? and curlers everywhere were all a part of the pageantry that was concealed backstage and never viewed by the audience. The curtain was raised and the audience was introduced to the Mistress and Master of Ceremonies; Miss Denise Westfaul and Mark Cooper. After the performance of the Senior Skit with Robbie Davis singing Calendar Girls, the class beauties were presented. The suspense grew when the time came for the announce- ment of the new Miss Satsuma. The announcement came second run- ner-up; Karen Nikolakis, first runner- up; Carmen Reyes, and Miss Satsuma for 1979, Libby Squires. 26 Mm Satsuma

NATALIE NEEDS A NIGHTIE Captivating the audience from the very outset, the Senior Play Cast very ably presented Natalie Needs A Nightie, a comedy invoking an almost continuous stream of laughter. And indeed who wouldn't be entertained by the predicament of Tommy Briggs with his major dilemma of producing a much needed wife and baby for his vis- iting boss? Further complicating the sit- uation is the untimely arrival of shapely Natalie Newsome, whose semi-nude entrapment in Briggs' apartment wors- ens his already precarious relationship with neighbor Thomasa Briggs. Added to the nuisance is his stuffy boss Juni- per J. Juniper, who becomes yet another victim of the resident clothes snatcher — the maid Rosebud. But, when triple wives as well as babies appear via cour- tesy of friend Jimmy Wilson, janitor John Watson, and ever so drunk Rose- bud, bedlam runs rampant. Only with a full confession from Tommy did the audience have time to catch a breath before breaking into uproarious laugh- ter as the curtain fell on a thoroughly madcap scene. Rehearsals involved long hours before and after school, memorizing lines, hoarse voices, and sacrificing personal activities for both cast members and directors. But it was one of the greatest high school experi- ences for all involved. Miss Mary Atchi- son. assisted by Ashley Dennis and Maxey Andress, directed the play superbly and achieved a closeness with the entire cast. Myra Paul was awarded Best Actress for her role as Rosebud. Harold Middleton was awarded Best Actor for his role as Jimmy Wilson (Mrs. Briggs). Senior Closs Ptoy 25
