Senior class produces play for large crowd Apparel, hair-styles, and make-up of the 1940’s helped to recreate an era for the senior class in their production of The Man Who Came To Dinner. Paris originals, pompadours, and red lipstick added to the effect of the play, as crewheads Diane Crow and Carole Berger took charge of ward- robe and make-up. Old-fashioned fur- niture, including a wooden wheelchair arranged in a war-time decorated set, was provided by the set, stage, and prop crews headed by Lissie Miller, Cindi Miller, Renee Downs, and Valerie Yandell. Shannon Sayles and Richard Sparr assumed the leading roles. Other major roles included John Buckley, Carol Cleaver, Richard Johnson, Deb- bie Kirby, and Doug Webb. Cynthia Ruff and Amy Loftis were double-cast in one part, while Diane Carlson and Claire Shelmire shared another role. With his natural accent, AFS student Michael Middlemann played the part of an Englishman. The cast consisted of 32 members, with the whole produc- tion requiring the assistance of 90 sen- iOrs. Sherry Thompson, a drama major from North Texas State University, served as technical director in charge of all crews. Stage-managers Cynthia Mahaffey and Joan Hodges aided director Mrs. Linda Raya during the six weeks of lengthy evening rehearsals. More tickets were sold this year than in the past four years. A total audience of about 1,200 attended the three eve- ning performances November 3, 4, and 6 and a Friday afternoon perform- ance squeezed in between the close of school and a night football game.
