Laugh-Getting Pillow Talk The setting for the play was unusual as two apartments were on the stage for the action. In addition to the two apartments, action also took place in two night clubs, on the street, and in the telephone building. Also adding to the success of the production were the make up and lighting. Rosie McGrath entertained Linda Fleet, Hudson Freeze, Carolyn Shaffer, and Dave Quinn in the night club scene. Art Shoener was the waiter. Many hours of rehearsal were spent by the cast in preparation for the opening night. Linda Fleet, Marvene Bergdall, Sally Weimer, Echo Lewis, and Coline Brown stretch out on the gym floor waiting their cues. Another essential back stage worker was Max Freeman who assisted with the lighting. 25

Headlines tell the story of a gragic experience for many GHA students. Fifth period classes were interrupted Fri¬ day, Nov. 22, and we learned that the Presi¬ dent had been shot. Silence and grief filled the school as we listened to the news reporters tell the story we didn ' t want to hear. School was dismissed for the national day of mourning the following Monday, and the flag flying at half-mast was a daily reminder of the tragedy. Death Stuns Student Body Student Council members directed the decorating of the school for the Christmas season. Mary Ann Myers, Mark Hamm, and Rhonda Ballentine put up streamers in the hall. Adele Smith and Pat Fordeck put away some chemicals in the new labs. Classes started meet¬ ing in these remodeled rooms early in December. 27
