- 3:5 we The magical pot turned into dross, yet all ended well as Senator Rawkins lost his bigotry, Susan initiated Og into the f. e N4 ',--H mortal world, Woody and Sharon were married, and Finian set off after another rainbow. Finians Rainbow Finds A Place in the Sun Mr. Saunders and Mr. Groen shared the headaches of directing students and correlating music and dialogue. Leprechauns are not a figment of the imag- ination. Proving this beyond a shadow of a doubt was Og, the leprechaun from i'Finian's Rainbow. Between his missing crock of gold, Finian McLonergan's get-rich-quick schemes and a senator who turned colors, there was never a dull moment. Rehearsals were also anything but dull, as the cast had only 75 weeks in which to re- hearse. When Steve Dickie, the original Og, became ill, Deane Sager had only 2 weeks to learn his part. Despite this, he gave an out- standing performance. In charge of the musical aspects of the show were Mr. Lowell Everson and Mr. Richard Saunders, while Mr. David Groen and Mr. Lewis Kaplan worked out the blocking. The cast and crew may never see another leprechaun and crocks of gold are very hard to come by these days. Discouraging? Not really. For even though the end of the rainbow eludes all mortals, Finian's Rainbow has brought it much closer. 89

TARS managed to gain support for their candidate, whether by fair means or foul. '53 :Six Contributing his outstanding artistic talent, TARS vice-president Al Helm- kamp did his part in promoting a GOP victory. Election Year '68 Finds TARS Revitalized It was the year of the big comeback. Not only for Richard M. Nixon, but for his supporters at Stevenson as well. The elections of '68 saw the Teenage Republican Club taking a renewed in- terest in politics and the candidates. Sponsored by Mr. Gary Vance, TARS undertook an extensive Nixon-Agnew campaign at Stevenson, culminating in presentations at the election assembly. What counted more with the TARS, however, was their influence on those of the twenty-one and up bracket. Prior to the election some of the TARS carried out a complete voter identification drive, polling an entire precinct of homeowners as to their political preferences. And, school or no school, the TARS turned out in force to cheer at the Roma Hall Nixon rally. Finally, election day found them at many of the polls passing out lit- erature and making telephone calls in an attempt to convince any of those still undecided voters that Nixon's the One. 90 Activities An unimpressed delegation of TARS representatives strove to ignore Humphrey-Muskie supporters Debbie Bagwell and Gail St. Aubin as they demonstrated at the assembly.
