nnie Get For the first time, an All-School Musical was presented at Laurens High. The popular broadway hit Annie Get Your Gun was chosen by director Nadine Johnson as the school's first effort in this direction. Over one hundred students were involved in this pro- duction which was considered a success from various standpoints. The performance was given two nights and all felt that much was to be gained from this experience. S2 Director . . . . Assistant Director Frank Butler . . Annie Oakley .
