Myths, Legends Background Redskin Revue Seniors Karen Kurzner and Margaret Combs wrote the winning act, Alotofbull, the story of a monster, half man and half bull, that demanded a sacrifice of 14 humans annually. The 1971 Redskin Revue played to a full house on Friday and Saturday nights, March 26 and 27. This was Manual ' s forty-second all-school production, made up of four acts, student-written and directed. The Redskin Revue Committee, under Co-chair- men Jean Ruoff and Dale Petrie, initiated the new idea of requiring all acts to follow a set theme. It was The World of Mythology and Legends, and I lie lour accepted acts had settings in early Greece and Rome and in Norway and England. Mr. Fred Bennett coordinated the show, and two I. unity members sponsored and assisted each act. Rehearsals were in full swinsf for four weeks. Speaking, singing, and dancing groups could be found throughout the building afternoons; and dur- ing evenings the last two weeks, practice time on the auditorium stage was allotted each act. Publications photographers took numerous pic- tures for the program; the cover was designed by Leonard Taylor. Mike Fox designed the poster. Selected members of the Concert Band made up the Pit Band that played accompaniment for all groups. Mr. William D. Kleyla directed. Stage crew members built scenery to act writers ' speci- fications and provided appropriate lighting. Ticket sellers are always divided into teams and spirited competition results. Winners this year were Joletta Strait and Charles Wolfe. The cast of Alotofbull sings its finale number, a parody to Good Morning, Starshine, after being freed from the tyranny of the bull. Alotofbull was chosen Best Act of 1971, and Mike Christy, as Dexter Newton, was Best Male Performer.
