Redskin Revue ' Steals March. ' from. Calendar Many tiring, but fun filled hours go into a Red- skin Revue production. This year ' s thirty-sixth annual all-school musical show was no exception as after-school and night rehearsals filled the month of March. It gave us the opportunity to display our talents, interests, and leadership abilities. A forest in merry England, a teakwood pavilion on Wakiki Beach, and a sixteen-foot spaceship were among exotic props Mr. Carl Wright and his stage crew created for the March 26-27 performances of the four student-written and directed acts. Sentimental Seaweed, written by Juniors Debbie Barkhau and Pat Roberts, centered around the for- bidden romance of a vacationing college boy and a Hawaiian princess. In order to win the princess, the boy had to find a fabled stone on the bottom of the ocean. His only problem— he couldn ' t swim. Twinkle, Twinkle. Little Czar, by Freshmen Don Goebel and Marianne Hedges, was set on a strange planet where an American spaceship had crash-landed. Trouble developed when the men dis- covered that a Russian spaceship had also crashed there. Seniors Judy Hansen and Rita Sexton ' s act, Elec- tion Perfection, took place in a small western town during election-time for sheriff. Confused competi- tion prevailed as the retiring sheriff ' s daughter and her fiance vied for the office. Sherwood Forest was the background for Sher- wood Shenanigans, by Juniors Bev Boyd and Jim Koenig. The plot developed around the love tri- angle—Robin Hood, the Sheriff, and Maid Marian. The act was climaxed by a dual between the rivals. It won the much coveted First Place trophy. Director of Productions Carl Wright instructs Act Writers Judy Hansen, Rita Sexton, Bev Boyd, Don Coebel, Jim Koenig, Pat Roberts, Debbie Barkhau, and Marianne Hedges. Seniors Don Townsend and Nancy Norcross, Redskin Revue committee co-chairmen, work wilh Mr. Fred Bennett, co-ordinator, to assign jobs to other members of the committee, which is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. 23

mmcrc Enthusiasm and loyalty blend whenever Manualites get together for activities. Whether the group meeting is a service organization, a class-oriented club, a musical rehearsal, a publications staff work-session, a party, an after-game hop, a semi-formal dance, or a Prom, we find gay companionship, broadening of interests, and use for our talents. Activities add much to our education and to the enjoyment of school, and they fill the needs of our varied moods. 25
