Babes gives valentine to EMHS The 1982 musical Babes in Arms was made successful by a dedicated cast and what seemed like a million practices. Originally scheduled for February 5 and 6, it was cancelled because of the record cold weather and heavy snowfalls. It was per- formed on February 14 on Manual ' s stage for one performance. It was appropriate that the musical was presented on Valentine ' s Day, for the plot of Babes in Arms was full of sentiment and the problems of true love. In Babes in Arms, apprentices of a New England summer stock playhouse have an original revue they wish to perform, but their plans are blocked by producer Seynour Fleming (Mark Hart). Bunny Byron (Patty Ogden) the owner of the theatre is on their side, but she stands to lose the theatre if she doesn ' t oblige Fleming. Steve Edwards (Chris Brown), a Broad- way producer, comes to see another produc- tion, and the apprentices feel all hope is gone. In true musical fashion, after many complications the finale is a happy ending. Maryjo Johnson, a senior who portrayed one of the apprentices, said, I thought the musical was quite a success. Everyone worked very hard, and we enjoyed doing it. - ' ' ' Senior Mark Wyss portrayed Val White, the composer of the revue the apprentices wished to present. Steve Childers, another senior, played Lee Calhoun, the author of the miserable play which was substituted for the apprentices ' revue. Greta Heskett was Jennifer Owen, the star of Calhoun ' s play, and Jill Huett portrayed her mother, a typical pushy stage mother.

Redskins romp! Revue 53 explores heights, depths Lights, camera, and action. These words were frequently used in the preparation for the fifty-third annual Redskin Revue, whose theme revolved around Icebergs, Moun- tains, and Mines. The scripts were very imagative, in- cluding action from the abominable snowman to the tragic sinking of the Titantic. The Revue had three acts, written, directed and acted by Manual students. The acts for 1982 included Out Of a Molehill, ' 1 by senior Steve Childers and junior Bernie Schulz. This act returned to the familiar Redskin Revue theme of two male rivals fighting for a fair maiden ' s hand in marriage. Of course, Princess Fiona ' s (Maryjo Johnson) parents preferred the evil Prince Richard (Earl Majors) to the peasant Charles (Mark Wyss), but, as always, good conquered evil, and Charles wed Fiona. Once Upon A Mountain, written by juniors Tammy Mustard and Bruce Whitlock, was set in the Himalaya Moun- tains. Ima Meany (senior Loretta Morrison) tried to keep her father Dr. Meany (junior Tony Delk) from the greedy, dishonest job of looking for crystals to feed the abominable snowman and gain power. Five college students came into the scene, also trying to find the crystals to cure the com- mon cold. The students were played by Steve Schultz (Michael), Kari Price (Lana), Mariendia Welch (Julie), Patrick DeMore (Louis), and Chris Robling (Jeffrey). In A Bridge Full of Troubled Daughters, the Titantic had been sunk, and Captain Robert Stern (Jim Bo Bar- ron) of the U.S.S. Edmunds had been sent to rescue its survivor s. With the help of his first mate (senior Mike Ryan) and purser Franklin (senior Mark Hart), they rescue the Vom Shnabish parents (seniors Jerry Evans and Kim Carnes) with their daughters Amanda (Patty Ogden), Viola (Debbie George), Chrissie (Joni Huett) and Goldie (Susie Derringer). After Stern and Amanda and First Mate Smith and Viola have fallen in love, they run aground and need to get loose. Stern gives up his com- mand and goes to Mississippi. The choreographers for this Revue were Alexis Girdley and Marcy McCombs, who led dances in A Bridge Full of Troubled Daughters, Donna Genier and Judy Buckel in Once Upon A Mountain; Madawna Hix for Out Of a Molehill; and Dawn Morse supervised the Redskin Review Chorus Line. The Redskin Revue was performed March 19-20 on Manual ' s stage. Perhaps some of the talent displayed by writers, actors, ac- tresses, and dancers will someday be seen in Hollywood or Broadway productions. ARE YOU SURE YOUR MOMMIE IS COMING BACK? . . .
