Fanciful Village, Brigadoon, ' Provides Setting Intent with his new love, Tommy Albright (Mickey Bridgewater) listens to Fiona MacLsren (Sheila Betzler) as she sings. Five weeks oC preparation were the prerequisite for the Music Department ' s presentation of Lerner and Lowe ' s Brigadoon. On the nights of November 22 and 23, the combined efforts of the stage crew, cast, and pit orchestra succeeded in trans- porting the audience to the Village of Brigadoon hidden in a foggy valley of the Scottish Highlands. The tale started when two travelers from New York wandered astray into the countryside. As fog in a nearby valley lifted, a mysterious town emerged before Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas, played by Mickey Bridgewater and Don Norcross. In Brigadoon, Tommy fell in love with a village maiden, Fiona MacLaren, played by Sheila Betzler. With vigilant eyes on Jeff, Joyce Thompson as Meg Brockie persuaded this handsome stranger to go off with her. Other villagers were preoccupied with the marriage plans of Fiona ' s sister Jean and her sweetheart, Charlie Dalrymple. Regina Maple and Bruce Haddix played these lovers. The supporting cast animated the market place as well as village life in the enchanted town which appeared only one day each century. Rehearsals for Brigadoon got into full swing early in October and continued in high spirits until opening night. All worked together whether with ticket sales or advertising or during the many hours of practice needed to bring Brigadoon to life. Curious villagers gather in the market place of Brigadoon to observe two strange travelers from New York who have lost their way during their vacation in Scotland.

Clever Parents Conjure Up New Money-makers Mrs. William Larrimore buys popcorn from Mr. Roy Kivett, a Dads Club concession stand salesman, at a basketball game. Dads did a hot business to add to their coffers. Making plans for activities for the Pow Wow are Mrs. Don Boyd; Mrs. Mary Haas, Director of Activities; Mrs. David Stace, P-TA president; and Mrs. Paul Hackleman, Pow Wow chairman. Redskin parents, members of the Parent-Teacher Association and Dads (Huh, worked tirelessly this year, as always, to provide money for extras for us Manualites. For example, they helped pay for Redskins attending conventions, workshops, insti- tutes, and summer camp sessions. These parent groups added to their coffers as well as appeased hungry appetites by their usual concession-stand activities at both the football field and in the gym. Sandwiches, hot and cold drinks, and ice creams keep football fans happy. Popcorn, ice cream, and candies comprised the menu at basketball games. Dads sold their wares from their booth in an east-end entrance to the gym and through traveling vendors in the stands. Dads ' new money-maker was a White Elephant Sale that proved so successful, being both fun and lucrative, it will probably become an annual event. A big night for all Redskins was April 18 when the P-TA Pow Wow, involving parents, teachers, and students, provided fun galore. Starting with the dinner hour in the cafeteria it ran through an even- ing of merchandise and game booths in the gym, a talent show in the auditorium, and a popularity contest. The Pow Wow closed with a dance. Every- one found entertainment to his taste, and the P-TA ' s cash register rang a merry tune. Mr. Dick Kivett, ' 57 grad and auctioneer for the Dads Club ' s White Elephant sale, makes a deal with Vice-President E. Franklin Fisher, who was an enthusiastic customer. 10
