 W i N 'VI Wf L 1 § if i1 ' ‘A ■ w 4 « 1 1 1 I I'- If lit . nee again, the Cerritos High Drama Department entertained us with its annual spring musical which played to packed audiences. This years musical was Damn Yankees, which was performed in the Little Theatre and ran the nights of May 20, 21. and 22. The musical revolved around a man named Joe Boyd, played by Tim Thorn, who would sell his soul to become a star baseball player for the Washington Senators. At that time, the devil, himself, Mr. Applegate, superbly played by James Page, pops in to take Joe up on his offer. Kim Magee played the sensuous Lola who, unsuccessfully, tries to seduce the naive Joe into keeping his pact with the devil. The fast paced action was highlighted with the entire cast performing in various song and dance numbers. For many of the Senior cast members, this musical was to be the last performance in their acting careers here at Cerritos. On the closing night performance many of the cast members gave their thanks and regards to the one who directed them through it all. Ms. Thornberry. The entire evening proved to be an exciting as well as emotional one in which the entire cast as well as the people who were in attendance will remember for a long time to come. The hit of the season
