Charlie Davenport (Kevin) urged the crowd to gather 'round. Annie Get Your Gun Pull and shots rang out in the D.H.S. auditorium as the Singing Vikings and Orchestra presented Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun . A musical comedy about show business and the wild west, the show centered around Annie Oakley, a rough, out-spoken country girl and excellent marksman, and Frank Butler, the star of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Playing the leads of Annie and Frank were Suzanne Bates and Mike Starkey. Supporting roles were held by Kevin Burke, Terri Fox, Richard Burton, Brad Rudge, Richard Lenover, Becki Herron, Kathy Royalty, Terri Dickson and Joey Wilson. Under the direction of Mr. Hanley, Mr. Ferrell, Miss Wolff and Mr. Grant, the cast gave a memorable production which was certainly a highlight of the year. Annie and her family supported the idea “Doin' what comes naturally . Frank and Annie On the train at the ball Anything you can do I can do better Page Eighteen

 An Evening of Plays -something new was added to the entertainment program of D.H.S. Members of Mr. Ferrell's Acting classes formed the casts for the three plays, Spoon River Anthology, The Lottery and The Denouement and gave promise of new actors for Dramatic Club. Each cast was able to sustain a feeling of suspense in the audience and to present a serious play in an unusual way. Make-up, staging, properties and student directions were carried by the non-acting members of the classes. Sarah confronted the old man. Spoon River Anthology Dippold, the optician, held forth. The Denouement Page Seventeen

F.L.I.P.P.E.D., or Female Liberation Idealists Party for Permanent Equality and Democracy, a comedy spoof on Women's Lib, was Dramatic Club's contribution to National Drama Week. In the play, charming Christine Pendleton learned her college age daughter, Niki, had joined a Women's Lib group. Afraid her temperamental, politically-minded husband would be furious, she asked her two older daughters to get Niki to resign, but Niki talked them into joining. The tables were turned on the men, and the play climaxed in a wacky hearing in Night Court where the men learned to respect the girls' beliefs and the girls to respect the men's. Mr. Ferrell, assisted by Gail Harrison as student director, directed the production. We are equal was the rallying cry. The men made good bunnies too. Page Nineteen
