Dedieotion evident in Qlxlohomol Shet up and Cain't were common ex- pressions heard in the school during the spring musical Oklahoma! as Western dialect spilled over into everyday life. Rodgers and Hammer- stein's Oklahoma! was presented April 22, 23, and 24, on Marshall's stage with a cast of twenty nine incorporating both newcomers to the Mar- shall stage and established regulars, Set in Indian Territory, just after the turn of the century, the Oklahoma characters include a cowboy named Curly, who fights for the affec- tions of Laurey Williams, along with hired hand Jud Fry. Laurey's Aunt Eller watches out for her niece and her friends. Laurey's friend Ado Annie is plagued with the dilemma of choosing be- tween her cowboy Will and the Peddler Ali Ha- kim. Andrew Carnes, Annie's father, worries about finding a suitable match for his daughter. Produced in only five weeks, Oklahoma! took a lot of hard work and dedication, said Senior Thespian Lisa DeWitt. It all went by so fast,', was Chorus Member Stephanie Krimbel's comment. To publicize the show, posters were put up all around the school, publicity scenes were staged during the lunch bands, and costumes were worn during one school day. Despite a constrained budget, Director Vi Watson persevered to offer utheatre in its pur- est sense - a classic story combined with effort and a willingness to please. IT CAN'T BE IN BETWEEN? is the musical question posed by Ado Annie lSusan Nortonl to boyfriend Will lScott Baileyl. Plays 0 31 L

Qvervvhelrned Stocey crowned os Princess From the moment tryout dates were an- nounced for the Rose Festival Coronation, ex- citement and enthusiasm filled the air. This ex- citement didn't cease until the crowning of Sta- cey Huston was made by the 1980 Princess, Kathy Wing. Fifteen girls tried out for a spot on the court and six were chosen. These girls were Yukling Leung, JoAnn Watson, Stacey Huston, Lisa Jeli, Ann Sarna, and Karyl Wing. Learning that I made the court was one of the highlights of my high school years, explained ecstatic Court Member JoAnn Watson. At the tryouts each girl had to present a speech about herself and have a personal inter- view with a selected group of judges. For the princess selection all the girls gave a speech about the 1981 theme Dance through the Agesl' before the student body and waited to see who would be selected as princess. When the announcement was made that Sta- cey Huston was the new Princess and enthusias- tic students cheered in the bleachers. Stacey stated she was Hoverwhelmed by the support of the student body and said that, I will do my best to represent Marshall at the Coronation. Princess Stacey participated in parades and luncheons and made many new friends. Ex- claimed Stacey, 'LThis is an opportunity of a lifetime and I wouldn't give it up for anything. SHOCKED AND SURPRISED is Marshall's representa- tive for the 1981 Rose Festival Coronation Stacey Huston. WALKING DOWN THE RED CARPET is JoAnn Wat- son with her escort Russell Wendt.
