There shall be a performance . . . 'Q Above: Doc Reimer has a quick conference with Mr. Doverspike, conductor of the orches- tra. Above right: Charlie Cowell, played by Joe Steele, informs his fellow train passengers of the dangers of Harold Hill's salesmanship. Another musical, The Music Man by Meredith Willson, was presented by the combined departments of drama and music. The play takes place in River City, a conservative town in 1912. The people come to life one summer through the plans of traveling salesman, Professor Hill. Hill convinces the towns- people that they need a boys' band that he can provide the equipment for, of course, at a fee. He forms various groups to keep the people busy until he can get away with the money. Plans change as the professor, played by Steve Cramer, finds himself in love with the town librarian, Bonnie Hostetler. Meanwhile, the mayor lKen Hunnl discovers Hill's intentions and has him brought before a mob of angry towns- people. To Hill's surprise, the boys' band rescues him. A lot of work and time went into this production, but all efforts were crowned by another successful musical. Many committees never get the full credit due them. Such committees that work so hard include the costume, props, light- ing, publicity, stage crew and set con- struction. 20 Below: Steve Cramer as Professor Harold Hill, demonstrating his powers of oratory, convinces tf townspeople that they are in terrible trouble.

Be not forgetful The purpose of Youth Convention is to have college and high school students sharing in worship and in their spiritual growth. For the high school students it is somewhat of an introduction to college life. The Way, a Jesus rock group from California, is composed of five Spirit-led men. They came to share their message of Jesus in music and in song. Jesus rock musician Randy Nlatthews sings about the change in his life which came through Jesus Christ's transform- ing powers. He has a real ministry and love for the young people of today. Frank Zink, the speaker, demonstrat- ed his awareness of youth and their con- flicts by sharing with us why we need Jesus Now . . . more than ever. The activities for Youth Convention include a Wild, Wild West Party, The Uncondemned presented by Bethel's drama troupe, the Genesians, and Clown- ing Around, a time of fun and games. Other entertainment is provided by Bethel Christian Service Teams lprevious- ly known as gospel teamsl, the Concert Choir and the Brass Choir. The Youth Convention Committee Chairman is Joe Veal.
