' ' PotpOWlAl - A CcMpbocU Ol ' Musicak’’ Candlelight and music, comedy and tragedy, a con¬ glomeration of scenes and songs from musicals out of the past. People sitting four to a table, eating and drink¬ ing, watching the show, hav¬ ing a good time. Cabaret, you ask? No, Potpourri, the choirs ' spring prod¬ uction. Potpourri—Crown Points ' Scrapbook of Musi¬ cals was an entirely new idea, designed in order to break the monotony of a musical comedy every spring and to bring to a finish Mr. Johnsons years as a choir director. Songs were from twelve past musicals such as Carousel , Oklahoma , Carnival , and the unfor¬ gettable Music Man . Students were chosen to direct each individual seg¬ ment. They supervised the rehearsals, selected the songs, and helped cast the scenes. The gym was transformed into a Cabaret style theatre with tables-for-four arranged in front of the stage. During intermission Home Economics girls served coffee, punch, and cookies and modeled the clothes they had made that year.

Students walked into classes to find peculiar, professor type fel¬ low students. The day wasn ' t strictly fun and games, though. Strangely enough some classes reflected a resemblance of order, and dull, routine learning took place. ABOVE RIGHT —Taking over a World Lit. class, Doug Banham gives instruc¬ tions to his class.
