As We Do Our In the middle of April, a rumor rampaged through the school that a Spring Show was to be presented on May 8. 9, and 10. Soon, strange props, weird wigs, saddle shoes, children’s clothing and filmy formats bulged from lockers. The rumor was true. Bill Ludlow was chosen Master of Ceremonies, and he in turn chose some ol the artistes from the band to create ideas for the show. This heterogenous group, consisting of Steve Jolley, Janyce Neilsen. Joyce Glover, Boh Brewer, and Buss Hutchison conceived sketches, wrote puns, planned scenery and worked out special effects. The students began painting the scenery on the Sunday before the first performance on Thursday. This project involved many hours' of sketching and painting until after midnight for the whole week. In the mornings these painters felt sore in places where they didn’t even know they had places. Bill glibly MC-ed and ad libbed through four snappy performances. One of the more humorous parts of the show was the appearance of Boss Hankins. Bob Brewer, Jim Ludlow and Steve Jolley as the characters of “Guitar-zan.’ The show wasn’t all humor, though. With the combined effort of the chorus and band, there were many serious productions such as “These Things Shall Be”, “Give My Begards to Broadway . and “Carousel”, which featured Becki Smail and Myrna Allen as soloists. Equally impressive numbers were “When I’m 64” and Charleston”, a twenties dance routine by the flag girls. Then you know what I’m here after! With black lights and irridescence the CHS twiners performed a breathtaking routine
