On the stage and behind the scenes work made musical ‘Oliver!’ a success The magic of Charles Dickens’ England was brought to life by a talented cross-section of stu- dents in the all-school musical production of ‘Oliver!’ The 38 cast members and 19 orphans (children from the area elementary schools) worked over a 9 week period, 3 nights a week, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Individual problems were soon worked out fairly easily, with one exception overcoming the Texas drawl and replacing it with a Cockney accent. Ms. Diane Arp, director said that “trying to teach country bumpkins to speak with a new Twist was one of the most chal- lenging parts of the play.” The most publicized members of the play were of course, the actors. But some very important work went on behind the scenes. Ms. Arp, choir director Ms. Sharon Thompson, and assistant director Susan Lovell ironed out any problems that arose. The orchestra played the accompani- ments. The backdrop was painted by the art department, and a handful of dedicated persons worked the stage. [7)

East meets west Western and preppy looks came together wo waves of contrasting fashions swept across the country and the effect was felt on school campuses everywhere. Even Crowley High School wasn’t immune to the new look. After somewhat of a struggle following the movie Urban Cowboy last year, the western look was finally in full force as true Texans started showing their colors. Cowboy boots made of everything from snake to whale Go for your gun! Senior James McMicken shows off the western trend in everyday dress. College campus, here I come. Junior Tim Perez sports a smiling college campus look. Train stopper. Senior Chuck Wilson and his famous pickup truck exemplify the modern cowboy’s means of transportation. - 24 trends skins were seen more and more in the halls of the school; Stetsons, in the tradition of J. R. Ewing, became commonplace; and even the pickup truck appeared in higher numbers on the road. But the preppy look from the East was also represented. In- spired by the fashions of eastern colleges, designer jeans and button-down, short collar shirts became the look sported by many students. Names like Gloria Vanderbilt, Zena, and Calvin Klein began taking their rightful place among the already established brands of Levi and Wrangler in the clothing stores around town. Consequently, whether a per- son’s taste ran to western hats or string bow ties, one could always. be in style in this new world of fashion.
