Three Enthusiastic Audiences Watched, Applauded Performers In The Music Man Curtain up, light the lights. . . So began The Music Man by Meredith Willson. Directed by Robert Wilson, Miss Mary Selk, Mrs. Ethel Groves, actors, actresses, sing- ers, dancers, and crew members produced the musical extravaganza. Running three nights, the play was viewed by nearly 2500 people, who filled the auditorium with laughter. Double-cast leads gave the play variety, and caused many playgoers to return for another performance. Students never before participating in a play found a new love and old-timers agreed that the production was one of their best. Joining Harold Hill, played by Fred Clemens, in a round of song, the school board, left to right, Dave Smith, Kerry Meyer, Ron Steege, and Paul Hensen, forgot their differences long enough to entertain for three performances. Whad ya talk whad ya talk barked the passengers on the Special train bound for Iowa. Thus marked the arrival of Professor Harold Hill far right played by Fred Clemens to River City. Other passengers on the train are, from left to right David Mayfield Tim Calhoun Bill McFarland Larry Burke, and David Powers.
