BHS Brings River City to Billings We got trouble — right here in River City! and Professor Harold Hill is just the one to capitalize on it. He proposes to replace the pool hall, a danger to the youth of River City, with a boys ' band. He makes only one mistake. Harold falls in love with Marian, the spinster li- brarian. When the band does not appear after four weeks, the town becomes suspicious. Mayor Shinn has the professor arrested. But Harold is saved by Tommy Djilas ' s quick thinking and River City ' s Boys ' Band makes its debut. THE MUSIC MAN, which played February 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13, called for many scene changes. Art 12 was in charge of painting the sets that Mr. Elliot designed. Behind the scenes BHS students worked on costumes, dancing, make-up, ushering, props, and lighting. The efforts of about 170 people combined to make this play a success. The play opens with traveling salesmen discussing business to the rhythm of their train. According to one, o town is no good once Professor Hill has been there. Charlie Cowell brags he ' ll fix Hill, not realizing Hill is on the train. Marian, Mrs. Paroo, and Winthrop listen as Harold explains the evils of the pool fable. Winthrop is one of the first to join the band which the Professor suggests. Being in the band helps Winthrop overcome his lisp. The children in the play were from Rose Park School. Mrs. Brandvold directed them and also worked on costuming. • ■ ■ t . ' •IvW ' . ' .
