I L MBERS Students get the applause, the audience gets the prize and the tradition is carried on. Seaholm is known throughout the community for its consistently out- standing spring musical productions. This year's choice was Rogers and Hammerstein's Oklahomaf, but only after a lot of discussion about the future of the Seaholm musical. The tradition was almost broken this year when negotiations went on well into january, which was the reason for the performances being a full month later than usual. A decision was finally made and the school hired Mr. Daniel Yuragaitis to direct the play. A new director was not the only change made this year. In previous years it had seemed like the whole system was unorganized and it took a last minute scramble to pull the play together. This year we're so much more organized and things are moving at a much quicker pace, said Becca Bahr, comparing Oklahoma! to the last two musicals. The momentum is really building up fast. When asked what her reaction would have been if there had been no musical, Becca answered, It would have felt like something was missing from my education. With a new organization and dedication from everyone involved, Oklahoma! will be remembered as the play that kept the tradition alive. Icontinuedj THE CAST USED room B204 when they needed to spread the many dancers and singers like Peggy Rehfus out for practice.
