50's Swing Un GHS Stage The musical Bye, Bye Birdie was chosen by the GHS Music Department as their annual production. Performed b students from all levels of choir, the format of the show enabled a large number of stu- dents to participate. The musical, set in the late 50's, centers around the sud- denly disrupted life of a small town family when singing sen- sation Conrad Birdie makes the scene to kiss the family's teen-age daughter. Birdie's visit to the town and the kiss dramatize and publicize his being drafted into the army and give life to his latest hit Last Kiss. Chosen in a drawing was the suddenly- grown-up-at-15 Kim McAffee as the reci ient of this kiss, an incident which totally disrupts the peaceful life of the family and town. The events surrounding this incident developed into a funny and yet touching story which many students found themselves able to identify with.
