Another Marshall first opened in February when the students of the Drama III Class presented the Three-Act Play Festival. The Festival consisted of four full scale shows, each directed by a Drama III student, and varying in type among comedy, abstract, musical, drama and mystery. Auditioning for the plays was in December, and once each cast was set, everyone got down to serious rehearsing. Each show was presenter! on a different night and was, as the Playbill told each audience, the realism of a goal, set way back in Drama II Class, that goal being to learn the skills of directing, to a point where a full scale show can be produced. Despite difficult set construction, delays because of snow, illness in the casts, even during the performances, and missing popped knichis, the shows went on. 52 Andy Shaw, Sean Carlson, Linda Schoumacher, Gail Perry and Susan Durin act death in the Circus of Life, directed by Carolyn Chryst.

Armed with a real 50's band, ice cream stand, and roller skating waitresses, MORP had all the makings for an authentic 50's dance. Contrary to previous dances, the MORP was not an-ticlimatic to the preceding week's activities. Among them were three-legged races, jumping rope and dance lessons. When Friday rolled around, and time came to dress in the style of the day, a large portion of the student body showed off their parents' old clothes, and laughed at each others costumes. The night of the dance, the girls' gym held the largest group of people ever to attend a Marshall MORP. Most stayed until 11:30, and the dance proved to be a huge success for the junior class, raising both money and school spirit. Right: Chris DeCarlo flirts with a b-bopping young bird.
