Bringing Entertainment to All, Art and Dramal FINE ARTS Highlight the Spring Activities This two day festival was a new event which gave the townspeople, along with the students, a chance to get involved. A few of the highlights of Saturday's enter¬ tainment was the A Cappella Choir, directed by Mrs. June Webster, authentic scenes from Man of La Mancha, presented by the Williams County Playhouse, and nature slides shown by Paul Webster. Saturday night's entertain¬ ment was completed with the high school symphony orchestra conducted by Roger Burkholder. Sunday began another day packed full of festivites. The Junior Chorus and the Square Dancers added spice to the afternoon's en¬ tertainment along with the exotic art demonstrations pro vided by grades primary through twelfth. The finale brought both bands and choruses together in the song, This is My Country. SPIRAL STAIRCASE It took place in a gloomy mid-Victorian mansion located on the outskirts of a small American city. Directed by Terry Buehler, Marjorie Kissell and student director, Kim Smith, this Mask and Sandal presentation brought terror to many hearts. Helen, played by Beth Hardy, was an invalid in constant danger of being killed by an unknown murderer who had a hatred for invalids. This mystery mur¬ derer was Professor Warren, played superbly by Brian Boner. Professor Warren's wife, played by Karen Rupp, pretended to be an invalid in hopes of bringing this un¬ known murderer to her so she could kill him. Mrs. Oates, played by Toni Fritz, the constable played by David Hale, and Stephen Barker, played by Hartmut Wilhelm, had their part in bringing this play to its shocking climax.

Music Department gives a professional MUSICAL performance of 'Tiddler on the Roof. Tradition rang through the full house of the auditorium when the music department presented their second musical, Fiddler on the Roof. Brian Boner played the lead as Tevye, a very humorous but hard working man who never seemed to get ahead in life. He and his devoted wife Golde, played by Karen Rupp, found it very frustrating as they tried to keep their daughters, Tzeitel, Model and Chava, from breaking away from tradition As the curtain falls, the villagers of Anatevka, because of the great many changes taking place in Russia, are forced to leave their homes taking with them the hope of a better future. The choreography and music were under the direction of Mrs. June Dally Webster with the assistance of Cecil Goldsmith on drama and Mrs. Judy Babcock on vocal. Providing the accompaniment was the pit orchestra con¬ ducted by Mr. Roger Burkholder and in charge of set direction was Mrs. Hugh Lindsey. ABOVE — Now I Have Every¬ thing.
