Bobby tries to fend for himself as Beef lets his temper run wild. Play The final production of the 1965-1966 school year. Good News was a rollicking success. The colorful performances entertained two full house audiences. The plot concerns life at Tait College in Ohio. With football as the background, love blooms between Babe and Bobby, and Connie and Tom. Meanwhile, Tom must pass his astronomy exam in order to play in the Tait-Colton game. The color of life on campus: football games, cheer¬ leaders, exams, and songs gave vitality to the musical. Long hard work by cast and director paid off in the end and Miss Knapp’s last play will linger in the mem¬ ories of all. Pat and Bobby have a slight falling out over a delicate subject. Is Good News In More “Wise-up boys, she knows the game.” 10

“Pygmalion” a Success at Clark As Doug Guy and Lola McPheron discuss their futures in Pygmalion. After six weeks of strenuous rehearsals “Pygmalion” by G. Bernard Shaw was presented by the Junior Class. The successful show of the Class of ’68 also marked the first direction of a Clark play by Mrs. Barbara Savoy. Act One opened during a sudden summer rain which caught Mrs. Eynsford-Hill (Annette Flaris) and her daughter Clara (Maureen Gaspar) by surprise. They are told by the bystanders (Bob Ruf and Jim Condes) and Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Jim Francis) that there is no chance of getting a cab. Through various incidents Colonel Pickering, Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins (George Yearsich, Lola McPheron and Eric Tangalos) are introduced. Later Freddy returned with the taxicab driver (Mike Dzurocik) only to find his mother and sister have left. Act Two found Eliza on Higgins’ doorstep ready to be transformed into a duchess. Higgins and Pickering were willing to give it a try, but Mrs. Pearce (Eileen Jancosek) did not really approve. Later Alfred Doolittle, Eliza’s father (Doug Guy), came to Higgins to claim his daugh¬ ter, but a mutual agreement was reached that was satisfactory to all involved. Eliza Doolittle and her flower basket are the focus of attention outside the cathedral as Shaw begins his tale of Pygmalion.
