Opening the eighth season of theatre at Johns- burg High School, student performers pre- sented George Washington Slept Here, a story about Newton Fuller, a man from New York who gets fed up with living the big city life and decides to move to the country. Fuller, played by senior Brian Dunivan, buys a house in the country, a place which is rumored to have been slept in by George Washington. He doesn’t tell his wife, played by junior Kim Larson, or his daughter, played by junior Wendy Boelens. When the family arrives at the house, they meet the caretaker of the 200-year-old house, Mr. Kimber, played by junior Chad Bear. The dilapidated house finally gets cleaned up in time for the Fuller's rich Uncle Stanley, played by senior Tom Buccelli, to arrive. Part of the plot involves the ef- fort of a neighbor to evict Mr. Fuller. Special technical achieve- ments, including a real rain storm ma- chine, made the production especially memorable. 16

‘Grease’ is big hit PINK LADIES Wendy Boelens (Jan) and Linda Majorca (Frenchy) strike defiant poses. Setting new box office records for JHS theatre, the musical ‘Grease’ was called by many as the most successful production yet at JHS. When 52 students tried out for the 20 parts, director Roger Zawacki knew that it would be a popular show. Not only did 'Grease' break the previous attendance record of 800 by attracting 1,450, it was also the most profitable production. Al- most $1,400 was cleared during the four days of performance. On closing night, it was standing room only, and the cast got a standing ovation at the end. Brian Dunivan (Danny) and Sue Russell (Cha-Cha) show everyone how to handjive. MICHELLE HAZELRIGG (Sandy) tells Brian Dunivan (Danny) that she is all choked up. 18
