Marne ' s acting debut as Vera ' s (Carolyn Blank) co- star is less than spectacular. One of the experiences Mame exposes Patrick to is the world of art created by artist Matt Francis and his model, Karen Andrade. Karen Andrade and John Ruley have parts as chorus members. The production required a larger chorus 20 MAME

MAME stops the show! The spring musical, MAME, was a smash! Many of the shows were sold out and the house was packed with an appre¬ ciative audience each performance. The storyline dealt with a social butter¬ fly, Marne, who gains custody of her young, impressionable nephew, Patrick. She raises him to be a mature, sensitive and intelligent young man. The play not only dealt with Patrick ' s growth, but also with Marne ' s. Valuable lessons on life were learned by the fiction¬ al characters and the audience, too. Carey Cunningham, voted most prom¬ ising actress, portrayed Marne. Putting this musical together was a lot of hard work. We pulled it together in the end and had a great time doing it! said Carey. In addition to the story and the fine acting, the audience was also entertained by the costuming done by Mr. Tom Su- fana and the music provided by Lowell ' s own orchestra under the direction of Mr. Joe Vacaro. Said one audience member, MAME was the best production I ' ve ever attended at the school. The kids did a great job. What impressed me was the way the stage crew helped the cast with dress changes and props. They deserve recognition, MAME
