Students Produce Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot Steve Larson as King Arthur listens to the dreams and aspirations of Queen Guinevere, played by Carolyn Wolfe. King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and Lancelot, trod the stage when the Music and Drama Departments presented Lerner and Loewe’s Broadway hit, Camelot, on December 17, 18, 19, and 21. Enthusiasm in the community enabled the play to run an extra night successfully. Camelot recounts the tragedy resulting when the queen loses her heart to Lancelot, one of Arthur’s knights. Yet, as the story unfolds, a joust, some jokes, and a jaunty look at the forest world give the play spirit of light- hearted adventure. Arthur pledges to let nothing come between Lancelot and himself. Arthur’s friend Pellinore, played by Richard Tait, expounds on his many and exciting adventures on his journey to the castle. The commoners of Camelot dance with joy upon the arrival of their new Queen.

Christmas Means Eagerly awaited, the Christmas Season brought with it a holiday atmosphere of cheer and friendship which quickly affected the entire school. Before the office in the main hall was placed a Christmas tree, decorated with colorful balls, tinkling bells, and flaky, white snow. In the library, boughs of pine, holly, and mistletoe brightened the shelves, while the bookworm Hugo, dressed as the school Santa Claus, greeted the students there; and with Decem- ber 22 came the Christmas Dance, its theme “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.” During the December 16 assembly, Christmas spirit echoed through the halls as the Girls’ Select and the Mixed Choruses joined to sing such winter favorites as “Silver Bells” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Betty Stopps and Bonnie Lewis admire the “deer,” Bill Barton, while deco- rating the school gym for the Christmas Dance.
