SHORTRIDC-E HIGH SCHOOL 8 H' W T 4?-J ' .au 20ffall musical be Presents CALEB MILLS HALL Thursday and Friday, November 20, 21 - 7:30 pm. Happy Talk at SHS South Pacific is a Rogers and Hammerstein musical which was written during World War II about the American sailors and marines on a south pacific island which they took over. Under the hot lights of Caleb Mills Hall, palm trees swayed and grass skirts shook up the Shortridge audience. The chilly weather of November 20th and 21st was soon to be forgotten once you were seated in front of the beautiful sets palm trees, volcanos, and clear blue oceans. This musical involves many love stories but the show's comedy topped it off. The special touch of humor brought on by our own Tamar Whitted portraying Bloody Mary and the funny Brent Hen- don as Billis was found to be the ticklish spot of our audience's funnybone. A wealthy, middle agedlFrench planter, Emile De Beo- que, portrayed by Anthony Vinson, falls in love with the young nurse, ensign Nellie Forbush, played by Lisa Contrers. At first this doesn't appear to be a good relationship but later has a happy ending. Lt. Cable, played by Mark Durham, arrives to set a watch on a Japanese held island nearby when he becomes the next victim of love. He falls for Bloody Mary's daughter Liat. After many latenight rehearsals and the curtain's time to rise was soon, Philip Hirsch, Drama director, and Myron El, Vocal director, gathered the entire cast together for a last few words of inspiration. In this large mass of confusion the smiles grew larger for the fact that it was so close to show time. Even though the production was accompanied by small audiences it proved to be a delightful evening. All the help from talented set designer Tom Birk and the stage crew led by Jerry Lucas which did an exquisite job of creating the illusion of a realistic, South Pacific island aided in producing a believable atmosphere. A job well done to the entire cast including Tom and Jerry. L ' .,,. J 4 ...a V? 3 or R V mlsgban' 1 Jlbw ' , fm- il.. BLOODY MARY played by Tamar Whitted, has won the hearts of all the service men on the island. i I l l l i l

A Very Merry Christmas Concert The Music Department held the annual Christmas Concert on December 17. The Shortridge Orchestra set the mood for the evening by playing Little Drummer Boy. Ca- leb Mills Hall then filled with joyous voices as the Beginning and A Cappella choirs per- formed several selections highlighted with solos by Jaqueline Slatter, Berlynne Turner and Anthony Vinson. Tamar Whitted and Mark Durham surprised attentive listeners with a duet of Silver Bells. The evening came to an end soon after the band had aroused the audience with the energentic song Sleigh Ride. Toes tapped, voices car- oled, and memories were flooded by thoughts of happy holidays. AND THE BAND PLAYED ON This year's Christmas concert featured a variety of music which the band practiced to perfection many weeks in advance. THE CHOIR PERFORMED on the Jim Gerard Show and at the City Market before the big night at Caleb Mills Hall. me in .JA 22fchr1stmas concert A BlRD'S EYE VIEW will convince ' you that the Shortridge 1 percussionists never have the dol- , drums.
