Maria's song helps children conquer fears of storm Musical scores with sentiment and melody In her nea role as governess. Maria advises Leisel. The Dixon High School student body, with the help of some talented grade school students, presented The Sound of Music in the spring of 1968. Under the direc- tion of Mr. James Wiltz and Mrs. Helen Carter, the cast and crew worked long hours both in setting the Austrian hill country scenes alive with music and in perfecting their various character portrayals. The in- dividual parts received most of the attention in prepar- ing the play. As the curtain went up, the efforts were rewarded. Acting individually and as a group, the cast adjusted professionally to the changes in mood from the serenity of the convent to the staccato briskness of the gestapo. The readiness of the cast and the effective performance of all those involved in the production created, in The Sound of Music, a monumental success. 16
