Auditions for the leads were held in June so the characters could learn their prospective songs In September the students to play the minor parts and be in the chorus were chosen. However, some difficulties were encountered when the director, Mr. Lampl, was notified about the higher cost of royalties for producing a musical. Therefore, the ticket price had to be raised to Si.75 and activity ticket . holders had to buy a ticket at the discount price of SI.25. Other minor mishaps occurred when a wrong backdrop was sent from New York and, also, one trunk of costumes did not come until the Saturday the play closed. In spite of these problems, Carousel was sold out Friday and Saturday nights and after every performance the cast was given a standing ovation for their outstanding performances in the Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical.
