This year marked the sixth performance in the history of the Hughes lWerria'-Co-Rozmrl. For live of these six years the script has laeen written lay gifted Hughes graduate and teacher, Mr. Rolaert Portune. Besides writing llflPI'l'LY-ffIJ-RCIIIHIZ scripts Mr. Portune has contrilauted his literary talents to several University of Cincinnati presentations, among these Scamp of the Canipus, Khaki Wacky, and Quiet Please. This year he also provided the script forthe Walnut Hills High School production, the Walnuts. The rewriting of Rell Mill for the Evansville Opera Company may also lae credited to Mr. Portune. This year's lWerry-C0-Round was set in the Sunset Valley Hotel which is presided over lay Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey Higgins, portrayed lay Tom Minnich and Martha Runck. Norma May as Gracie, a snake-loving scullery maid, Hlarought the house downv lay merely appearing on stage. The sarcasm of Winnie, Beverly Bates in everyday life, and the antics of Peg Pounds, who played the part of the stage-struck Southern laelle, Dixie, were high points in the llf1Pl'I Y-C0-ROIITZII. The Merry-Go-Rolmzl laoasted three separate chorus lines, all of which were directed lay Miss Virginia Ga1'rett. The short and tall pony choruses and the tap chorus interrupted the action often enough to provide even more pleasure for the audience. Other characters in the Merry-G0-Rrallnll included Sandra Wtlllf and ,lim Dietz as the two laeautiful laut olanoxiously conceited specimens of the human race. Shelley Summers and Apollo Casanova. Dick ,lunker in the part of Sour- dough Johnny, an ancient uranium prospector, and Ed Crawford as the ralalait-like Dr. Ellsworth Pennywhistle further enhanced the riotously funny plot. Students taking part in the Meri'-a'-C0-Roltnad gave their time after school almost every day for two months in order to perfect their roles. Rehearsals in the morning laefore school often made it necessary for the actors and actresses to lae at school at seven-thirty. Bert Bramkamp in the role of the wealthy Mrs. Smedley U. Smedley, Frank Hermann as Smedleyls German Director Van Schlacter. and Bill Thompson as the precacious juvenile delinquent, Courtney, did their parts to laring the counter-plots and plots together for a happy ending. Mr. Herman Slayman's delightful musical arrangements and the orchestra under his direction provided a fitting musical laackground for Shoot the Works . The intricate laackdrops were designed and executed under the direction of Miss Marcella Schroth. Soma and Charmaine dl mu s their routines with dancers. The short pony gals await their delaut.
