In 1923, the first stage of the thir d existing NHHS was built. Four stages followed: 1934, 1947, 1954, and the last addition in 1964. A new concept in auditoriums will be incorporated in the new school. It will be a cafeteria and also an auditorium. Being 80 feet wide, the new stage is 30 feet wider than the stage in the Junior High build- ing. All of the departments are grouped together. Each department will have an office where the teach- ers may go during their prep period. Inside the double decked gymna- sium, there are locker rooms for both boys and girls, a dance room and wrestling room. On the upper deck there is an indoor track for the cross country and track teams. Between the two decks combined, the gymnasium will be able to seat roughly 3,000 people. Until this year, the IMC has always been on the upper floors of the high school. In the new school it is on the main floor. It has a dark room (for media use), T.V. studio, conference rooms, isolation rooms, and the list goes on and on. HAVING A PURPLE and gold ceiling, the gymnasium features an inside track on the second floor. The gym will seat 2700. MANY HALLS IN t he new school will be as wide as the main entrance, 22 feet.

Dolly says hello to New Haven CORNELIUS, JUNIOR WARREN Schimmol- ler and Barnaby, sophomore Kurt Swank look humiliated as they are catching trouble from their boss. “The show must go on” was probably the inspiration that kept the cast of “Hello Dolly” going since it was the start of the flu season. Dolly Levi, portrayed by senior Sue Holt, started the play with a song announcing her profession as a match- maker. Senior Kent Snyder played Dol- ly’s victim as Horace Vandergelder. Other characters were Barnaby, sopho- more Kurt Swank; Cornelius, junior Warren Schimmoller; Mrs. Malloy, sen- ior Julie Greenwood; Minnie Fay, senior Sue Grimmer; Ambrose, sophomore Jay Leonard; Ermegard, sophomore Danelle Lawson and Ernestina was senior Kathy Burford. Burford was also choreogra- pher for the play. Ideas and designs for the settings of “Hello Dolly” came from the Enchanted Hills Playhouse in Syracuse. Mr. Gerald Isch, Mr. Charles Henke and Mr. Paul Milliman went to “Hello Dolly” there to get ideas for New Haven’s production. An approximate total of about 50 hours were put into the settings by Mr. Isch and talented students. Working with a strict budget, the stage crew had to be resourceful so they constructed the props mostly out of cardboard, can- vas stretched over wooden frames, paint and ingenuity. A lot of work also went into the musi- cal accompaniment which was directed by Mr. Paul Milliman. He selected peo- ple out of the concert and symphonic bands to perform for the occasion. Beginning after contest the selected band started rehearsals after school for two days out of the week and two nights after supper. The music for ‘‘Hello Dolly’ was ordered from the Tams-Whitmart Pub- lishing Company. The music contained many hard and difficult key changes. Two weeks before the play date the band then rehearsed with the full cast. After the performances were over Sat- urday Nov. 13, everyone involved with the production was invited to the South East YMCA for refreshments. The pool was also opened for use. When interviewed Mr. Milliman and Mr. Henke replied “I enjoyed working with them. They were all a great bunch of kids.” SINGING HER FAREWELL, senior Sue Holt nears the end of the play while portraying Dolly. 16 — Hello Dolly Ce ee
