As the curtain rose, a pantomime of a 19th cen- tury carnival brought the salty, romantic atmosphere of a sea village to Ripple's stage. Carousel ubarkerl' Billy Bigelow, portrayed by Jim Dickison, falls in love with and marries Julie Jordan, played by Terri Kelly. As J ulieis friend, Carrie Piperidge, Linda Stenberg provides a light touch in her flighty atten- tions to Tom Love, as the stout, sophisticated Enoch Snow. When Billy learns that Julie is to have a baby, he plans a robbery to get money for the child and is killed. The story floats into fantasy as Billy returns to earth to give a star of happiness to Julie and his daughter. Finally, the entire cast adds the moving lyrics of HYou'll Never Walk Alone to Billy's advice. Directed by Mr. Gene Poston and Mrs. Rosalee Hofmann, Carousel marked the Music Departmentls fifth successful musical. Assisting were the Art De- partment, Mrs. Janet Blocker, and accompanist Anita Heppner.
