Under Construction Extravaganza ' 80 Under Construction was the main theme for Extravaganza 1980. The theme was chosen by the Theatre II class because of the building of the new auditorium. The opening song was Makin ' it in which everyone wore construction clothes. Other numbers were the popular song by Donna Summer, Last Dance and a spec- ial salute to new principal Oren Skinner called Hello, Oren. The cast also posed as teachers and sang We Taught Them Every- thing They Know. The show finished with the song All Over the World. One of the big numbers in the show was the Solid Gold feature. The top ten songs at East Noble at that time were performed. It is a lot of fun; everyone gets a lot closer, and we work very hard to put on the best show we can, stated Carla Rodcn- beck.

The Runner Stunnbles ' By LAURIE SUTER The Runner Stumbles, the 1981 pre- sentation of Evening of Theatre was marked by a small cast of nine with two changes from past years. The show was performed January 30 and 31 at the East Noble Cafeteria. The Sunday performance was added to the usual Thurs- day showing due to less seating room in the cafeteria. The cafeteria was used to provide a more intimate setting where the audiences could sit closer to the stage, and on three sides of it. The Runner Stumbles is both a love story and a murder mystery set in 1911. Father Richards (portrayed by Kenny Myers) is being tried for the murder of sis- ter Rita (Peggy Leiter). During this time he has reoccurring flashbacks about the de- velopment of the love relationship between himself and the nun. Richards is, in the end, found innocent. Director Bob Avery and assistant direc- tors, Cindy Taylor and Ed Fenstermacher, led a small but skilled cast through nearly two months of rehearsal. The cast consist- ed of five seniors, three juniors and a fresli- man. After an argument. Father Rivard (Kenny Myers). Sister Rita (Peggy Leiter) and Mrs. Shandig (Tawny Montel) join in saying the Rosary. This is the end of act one. During the trial the prosecuting attorney (Brenden Leitch) asks Erna Prendle who gets upset, and Father Rivard (Kenny Myers) tries to defend her. .4 visit to the cell of Father Rivard (Kenny . tyers) by Frna Prendle (liclh Robinson) is a comfort before his trial.
