Have ducktails, long skirts and white bobby sox really come back? Don't worry, they haven't yet. They were just revived by the L. H. S. Glee Club in their production of Bye Bye Birdie. Through many weeks of hard work, long rehearsals, digging through piles of old clothes, and fighting the weather, the musical was presented. The story takes place during the 1950's when rock and roll, and the jitter bug, were the things to do. In Sweet Apple, Ohio, Conrad Birdie (Daryll Wright) was idolized by the teenagers, and criticized by the adults. After being drafted into the army, Conrad was to travel to Sweet Apple to give the chosen girl, Kim Qanet Benning) One Last Kiss.” Accompanying him were his manager, Albert Peterson (Eric Dolbeare), and his secretary Rose Alvarez (Linda Swope). 25
