Leads were chosen in the spring, and rehearsed throughout the summer. That allowed more time and attention for the chorus. The chorus included many hysterical teenagers who, reflecting the mania of the late 1950s when rock and roll burst on the scene, went crazy over their idol, Conrad Birdie. Poking fun at a time period when hip swiveling rock stars were banned from T.V., Birdie appealed to parents who remembered, and students who simply enjoyed. John Bailey, choir director, presented this annual hit with the welcome assistance of three com- munity members. David Fox directed the production, Donna Schulte pro- vided theatrical assistance, and Dan Hefner provided choreography IS
