fall musical full q surprises' Out of breath and Hjitteryf' the sophomore pllapsed on the bench she'd helped drag ff-stage. Theyld just barely got off in time! Good job! the props mistress whispered ncouragingly. You didn't get caught by ie lights...this time! Getting caught by the lights and giving a 'surprise performance was just one of the many surprises during Mask and Gavel's all musical, My Fair Lady. My Fair ,ady told the story of a wealthy professor's ttempts to change a ragged flower girl into respectable lady. With one of the largest casts and crews in SD history iover 80 participatedl, things lere bound to happen that nobody could ontrol. They did, especially to leads L'Surprises,' ranged from the frustrating to the ridiculous. In preparation for the play, the props committee was told to collect over 20 black umbrellas. After spending hours finding enough, they were told, in short, that no one needed umbrellas at alll Then, during the final performance, one of the major sets fell apart early in the play. Mr. Bob Hughes, English, calmly put it back together during the next scene---to the beat of the music! No one in the audience ever heard the hammering. No one really panicked when the set fell apart, commented Anita Bush, technical director for the play. lt was a good thing, too. If everyone had panicked, we might never had gotten the set rebuilt.

One of the most surprising aspects of the play was the students' reactions to their parts. HI was supposed to be such a gentleman in the play, and in real life l'm not that way at all, explained Doug Beal, junior. He played the reserved Colonel Pickering, who helped change Eliza Doolittle from a flower girl to a lady.', But it was generally conceded that the part of good-for-nothing Alfred Doolittle fit junior Keith Dunn's 'Kham instinctsu per- fectly.
