FALL MUSICAL Eastside's drama department has done it again. This time it was with their rendition of You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown. Miss Susan Scheufler, the director, put in a lot of time and work, and did an outstanding job of selecting the characters. The cast, which con- sisted of six students, and the crew, spent many hours making this fall musical the success that it was. None of the cast was actually six years' old, but this didn't seem to make any difference once the play had begun. The hard task of por- traying a six year old was accom- plished by the cast with ease. The cast enacted an average day in the life of Charlie Brown. His trag- edies as well as his triumphs were revealed. You're A Good Man Charlie Brown was Miss Scheufler’s first play here at Eastside, Since the treasury was low, a low-budget type of play had to be chosen. ‘‘You're A Good Man Charlie Brown fit this category well, and is just one of the many things that make Eastside High School a school to be proud of.

The Wizard kneels down like a stool for Queen Aggravain while she lists all her troubles, including the new princess who must be tested. songs, and dance routines. Tona Shinabery and Director Susan Scheufler choreographed the dances. One must not forget the crew for the play. These are the people that build sets; find props; set lights and microphones; and much more. During the play, un- der the direction of the stage manager, Michelle Lemos, the crew was responsible for all set changes and that all props were in place. The musical was performed un- der the direction of Miss Susan Scheufler and Mr. Albert Weiss. The orchestra was directed by Mrs. Mary Deever. These people, along with the cast and crew, made this musical a success.
