‘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

‘Auntie Marne’ Curtain falls on great season The spring play, Auntie Mame, takes place in the time period from 1928 to 1946. It was about a high society woman who has to raise her neph- ew, Patrick, after his father passed away. She raised her nephew in the best way she knew, introducing him to a wide variety of strange and extremely eccentric people. This causes many problems later in the play when Patrick's trustee, Mr. Babcock, finds out about the way Patrick is being raised. He totally reforms Patrick's way of life. Soon after, Auntie Mame falls in love and gets married to a rich southern gentle- man. She goes off on her honeymoon, which lasts for a few years. In the mean- while, Patrick has grown up and has be- come a snob. Auntie Marne's husband Beau, died, and Auntie Mame returns to find that Patrick is planning to get married. She dislikes Patrick’s choice for a bride and her family. She foils the wedding plans by let- ting them meet the side of Pa- trick’s past that they don't know about. The play was a tremendous success and end- ed one of the best theatre sea- sons in JHS theatre history. MAME'S BEST FRIEND, Vera Charles (at right), is always at her side.
