Largest Crowd Yet At FHS Stunt Night What goes into the production of the most successful Stunt Night in history? Tons of imagination, davs of tryouts, exciting talent like the Soul Expression and the Shenandoah Ramblers— all put together by Carol Wolf and Wendy Townsend produce a remarkable evening. (With Mr. Willis as MC, could they lose?) The “one more time” for the first scene, the Cutle r, Lewis, and Sands impromptu dance in the isle, the Tri-Hi-Y can-can, the Steve “Bill Cosby” Yates special, a teacher’s skit — a big surprise — (and the biggest surprise, Mrs. Thomas’ line, “That girl don’t want to sit beside me!”) all somehow mesh together into Stunt Night ' 69. For some, it’s the end of an unreal week, for two vocal bands, a standing ovation, for everyone, thunderous applause, and for the SCA, a fantastic $750 profit and another representative to Boy’s State. 22 — Student Life

The wolf, Roger Cawthon, pleads with Grandma, Cathy Jaehnig, not to testify against a poor orphan wolf like himself. “Hairy Falsetto” Goes To Mobile As the curtain rises on “The Hairy Falsetto,” Ferguson witnesses its Thespian Troupe’s most outstanding accomplishment, the play they will perform representing Virginia’s 275 high schools in the Southeastern Theatre Conference at Mobile. The scene is a courtroom; the case — the state versus the wolf that tried to make breakfast of Grandma. The evidence — a hair from an eyebrow found on granny’s pillow (but wolves don’t have eyebrows!), Granny’s “intermission,” and Little Red’s red coat that excited the colorblind wolf. The result — an “excellent” rating, third place, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards, finding out Little Red, not the wolf, is guilty, and concluding that Mother Goose should be banned from the schools, What is this, anvwav? A Kangaroo Court? 1 W f ■ . Bfl ITf D. A., Frances Ann Moore, finds definite proof — a hair from a wolf s eyebrow found on Grandma’s pillow. The judge, Robbie Cutler, declares that the wolf will get a fair trial and then they will hang him. Student Life — 23
