rl Students experience hillbilly ways Hillbilly talk, tattered clothing and bare feet were what the musical cast had to get used to. Instead of enunciating each syllable and wearing respectable costumes, they used as much slang and wore as little clothing as they could get away with. Of course, they could get away with it because the musical was Lil Abner. “I told the kids to throw out anything I've ever taught them in choir, like speaking clearly and using proper English, because everything they say has to sound hick, said Vern Fryberger, choral and musical direc- tor. This musical, taken from Al Capp's world famous comic strip, com- bines a mixture of hillbilly nonsense and sharp, critical humor. Lil’ Abner, the lead part, was given to senior Jerry Rogers who has never had any previous acting experience. I tried out because I saw last year's (musical) and thought it would be a lot of fun, Rogers said, “I like it. It's been a joy working with the cast. Other interesting characters include Evil Eye Fleagle (junior Mark Shields) who walked around in a aura of green and used his triple whammy on everyone; and four Dogpatch wives (senior Kris Vogt, junior Laura Strobl, sophomore Shane Tschopp, and freshman Jean Thill) who gave their scrawny husbands to the gover- nment to make them big and strong. But when the government returned the well-built but now un- feeling husbands, the wives sang Put 'em back the way they wuz. Directors Vern Fryberger, Leon Sobba, and Wilber Hogg, with the help of Mike Westerman, costume designer, and Eydie Klassen, accom- panist, kept the student actors in line and in character. The stage and makeup crew, consisting of students, also had demanding jobs. They took care of all the spotlights, scenery, and makeup in the show.
