'-.,.. Musical performance pays for entr fees Over 52,500 was made by the three night performance of the musical My Fair Lady. This money was used to pay the entry fees of the choir for contests attended throughout the year. An excess of three weeks of hammering, sketching and painting was spent on the four sets used in the production. Mr. Malcom Broyles and Jesse Caffey sketched the Covent Garden set with Mrs. Glenda Coley and Art ll students who accepted the task of painting the set. Construction on the Ascot and Ballroom sets were done by Mr. Frank Lyons ll and his daughter, junior Jeannine Lyons, an art student. Mr. Don Edwards and Mr. Noe Boghs did the building of the Higgins' study set, complete with staircase. Numerous props, such as paper flovifers, antique victrola and Vic- torian desk, were used. Most of the props were furnished by choir members, however, some props were the antique furniture used in the Higgins' set and other props were borrowed from members of the community. Costume rental fees for the 65 member Cast totaled 52,-400. Ball gowns, peasant dresses, and tuxedos represent a sample of the cos- tumes worn by the cast. Some characters had as many as five differ- ent costume changes. Hairpieces required were brought by each character as was necessary. Mart's Coiffiers and Dennis provided several of the wigs and hairpieces used in the production. A. Gathered around an old pot-belly stove in Covent Gardens, cockneys warm their hands as they watch Eliza being knocked down by Colonel Picker- ing. B. Sophomore Marc Daniel as Zoltan Karpathy, a former student of Pro- fessor Higgins, begs him for the honor of meeting Eliza during the Embassy Ball. Higgins refuses him because he fears Karpathy will discover Eliza's true identity. C. After leaving the Higgins house following the Embassy Ball, where she was received as a duchess, Eliza talks over tea to Mrs. Higgins. Eliza relates how Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering exchanged praises for the success of the night, completely forgetting about Eliza and what work she had done. D. Colonel Pickering and Freddy sing Get Me To The Church On Time, along with the entire cast at the finale. E. Mrs. Eyns- ford Hill, portrayed by senior Susie Hovendick, senior Letitia Timmons as Lady Boxington and senior Ray Freeman as Lord Boxington chat about the girl, Eliza, who Higgins has brought to the Ascot Races. Here Eliza is put to the test concerning her new mastery of the English language. F. Attired in her cockney costume, Clara Ferguson as the major character, Eliza Doolittle, sings the song Wouldn't It Be Loverly? in the opening scene. G. Poor Professor Higgins is the tune Professor Higgins' maids and butlers are singing during the Rain in Spain scene. Before Eliza made her breakthrough in English pronunciation, Higgins was extremely frustrated with her lack of progress. H. At the Ascot Races, freshmen Luan Green and Willie Wamble dance the Gavotte before the start of the race. CHOIR I PAGE 39
