All-School Play, David and Lisa, overcomes difficulties with success Lisa especially enjoyed learning when taught by her trusted friend, John. The All-School Play, David and Lisa, directed by Mr. Steven Shepard, climaxed five weeks of ef¬ fort by cast and crew. Although they encountered many problems such as stolen programs, a cut fire curtain, and small restless audienc¬ es, the play was successfully presented March 18 and 19. The story told of two mentally disturbed teenagers—Lisa, a schi- zophrinus who talked in rhymes, and David, a paranoid afraid to be touched. The play began with David being taken to the institute by his over-protective mother. He soon met Lisa and a strong attraction developed between the two. Lisa, who had trusted David, and David, who had trusted no one, began to trust Lisa. After an incident in the park when David rescued Lisa from two attackers, each took a step towards overcoming his problem as they walked back to the institute, confidently, hand in hand. r- As head of the school, Dr. Alan Swinford sought to help students overcome their in¬ dividual problems of life. With eyes closed for moral support, David overcame his fear and took Lisa’s hand. David and Lisa Cast David Clemens.Brandt Staley Mrs. Clemens.Rita Dabertin Lisa. Anne Allen Dr. Alan Swinford . .

‘New Sights and Sounds Edition 71’ uses ‘Hello Dolly’ as finale number The ’71 edition of the Sights and Sounds of the ’70’s was presented May 27 and 28 in the G.R.C. audi¬ torium. Members of the Girls’ En¬ semble and Pom Pon Corps, with the music of the Stage Orchestra, provided an evening of dance and song to today’s popular music and musicals. The program included such songs as “The Stripper,” “Pink Panther,” “Sunny,” and selections from “Oliver.” “Hello Dolly” served as the finale. To an outsider, the show was very well done, and rendered a delightful evening, but to members it was the end product of many weeks of time, effort, and practice. Carmel Conley and Diane Jakubczyk swing to the beat of The Stripper.”
