Oliver Is A Hit “Oliver, a two act musical play, was presented by a Leola school cast on April 22 and 23. The musical was under the direction of Mr. Mick Guffey and Mr. James Ochsner. As the musical opens, the boys file into a work house sing- ing, “Food Glorious Food.” Thev are fed small bowls of cruel. Oliver sings, “Please Sir, I Want More,” but is subdued oy Mr. Bumble, the parish beatle, the Widow Corney, and the other orphans. Oliver is then led off by Mr. Bumble who sings. “Boy For Sale.” He sells Oliver to Mr. Sowerberry, the undertaker. Oliver runs away from the undertaker and is picked by Dodger who sings, “Consider Yourself.” He is taken to Fagin's kitchen where he is welcomed by Fagin and the theives. Nancy and Bet enter and join Fagin and the theives in, “It’s a Fine Life.” The second act begins with Nancy singing, “Oom-Pah-Pah.” Sikes appears and sings the threatening “My Name.” Meanwhile, after Oliver’s capture by Mr. Brownlow, Oliver has become a well-tailored, well-cared for lad. He looks out his window, and observing the beautiful morning sings. “Who Will Buy?” Oliver is brought back to Fagin by Sikes and Nancy. At the close of the musical, Sikes and Nancy are killed, and Fagin is minus boys, home, and money. The entire cast re- enters singing “Food Glorious Food,” “Consider Yourself.” and “I’d Do Anything.” Oliver, the main character of the musical, was played by Marty Geffre. The workhouse beatle, Mr. Bumble, was played by Jerry Jasmer, and Widow Corney by Theresa Getfre. Fagin was played by Wayde Blumhardt and the Art- ful Dodger by Lon Gill. The brutal burgler was played by Eric Rath and Nancy, by Susan Kulm. 28

Halfway through the year the Long Lake School added their grade news to the paper. They joined the other graders in telling what they did throughout the year. The staff of twenty-six students was headed by editors Susan Yost and Lynn Nesby. They had help from Bobbie Lapka, junior editor and Miss Pat Rahrick, advisor. The staff was once again divided into areas of their interest. The areas were sports, photography, interview, business, and grades. All those on the staff worked in all or some of the areas. Chatter Shows Pros and Cons The Bicentennial year brought many ideas for the 1975-1976 PIRATE CHATTER. Many of the staff wrote editorials giving their pros and cons on the Bicentennial. They also wrote editorials on the Patty Hearst trial and the preference primaries. Aside from writing editorials, the staff also wrote many symposiums. They were written on such things as the Zion conflict, the preference primaries, and the attempted assas- sination on President Ford.
