Working together T he summer tri-school production of Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun gave students from Jefferson, Kennedy, and Lincoln a chance to prove that there was no business like show business when they worked together. Director Warren Magnuson of Jefferson and Steve Kramer, musical director at Lincoln came up with the idea of a joint production. According to Magnuson, it didn’t make sense for each school to be doing its own musical when a larger pool of talent would result in a better show. Each school tended to stress a different area of stage production. Jefferson stressed acting, Lincoln singing, and Kennedy dance. “The important thing to remember,” stated Magnuson,” is that we get away from school rivalry. The whole idea of Rah Rah Jefferson, or Rah Rah Lincoln or Kennedy goes away. I feel that with the declining enrollment, we are four years ahead of everyone else.” Diane Martinson, who played the part of Annie Oakley, said that during the show there wasn’t any rivalry. Everyone had the same idea in mind, and everyone knew what they had to do to put a show together, so they banded together. The musical not only brought the different talent together, it also gave the student a chance to learn other aspects of stage production. It was all one big summer school class. The actors participated in the technical end, and the technical people did some acting. The crew was made up with the cast, and the scenes were moved in conjunction with the tempo of the play. 10 • Annie Get Your Gun

Spirit overcomes loss D ressed for Cowboy Day, students started Spirit Week with a pepfest. Because the pepfest was meant to get the spirit rolling, it was separated from the Coronation that was held Friday. This helped to create a more meaningful ceremony. T-shirt, Punk Rock, Rag, and Blue-White Days followed later in the week. Thursday, the seniors were victorious in the Powder Puff Football Game against the juniors. Carnations were delivered in homeroom on Friday. With the theme ‘‘Cretin is Beaten”, the royalty led students, faculty, and alumae to Jaguar Stadium, were the game was tied 0-0 until the second half. At half-time, the crowd was entertained by the JJ’s dancing to ‘‘Sing a Song” while accompanied by the band. The band also performed ‘Tve Got Rhythm” and ‘‘She Believes in Me”. Shortly after, the Royalty was presented, without King John Lynch as he was playing in the game. To the dismay of the fans, the game was lost by a score of 14-0. The game was scoreless until the second half when Cretin picked up its momentum. With the Cretin improvement came the Jaguar downfall. The defense couldn’t hold them back, and Cretin scored. The loss was soon forgotten when on Saturday, students spent a night out and went on a ‘‘Starlit Stroll” sponsored by the Knight Thymers. Carousel played for the occasion. Tickets were $6.00 for couples or $4.00 for singles.
