The problem of inflation is everywhere in today's world and even in this show. The employees asked for a V 4C raise which caused much discussion in the sewing factory. Could we survive on a raise like this? The show takes place in Cedar Rapids. Iowa in the mid-I950's where a very strict fac- tory operator keeps the business running by the stop watch procedure. Problems with the union representatives and each employee's responsibility in trying to advance ahead in their own game kept the musical very lively. FHS students brought this operetta to life after many weeks of hard work. We always think of a star as the main characters on the stage. However, a star is also the people who work behind the scenes. Pounding nails, painting flats, and sawing wood is very neces- sary for the play to go on; We must give credit to all those who work diligently to make our annual musical a success. For the directors: Barb Gebhardt, Fred Willford. Dave Hanson, Peg Firmin and Steve Froelich; FHS loves your shows and wants to see them for a long time to come. rz.5 OPERETTA
