Theatrics Innovativeness Characterizes Dramatic Activities Dramatic activities began early in the summer with the MUS drama cHnic, under the guidance of Mr. George Elder. Bob Ruch, Cathy Crisler, and Holly Kirby were among the students who studied acting techniques. Experi- menting in such media as panto- mime, the thespians finally per- formed Take Her, She ' s Mine. The comedy about a young girl entering college was produced at Front Street Theatre. The first production of the aca- demic year was a mystery by Agatha Christie, Ten Little Indi- ans. The story centered around ten guests mysteriously invited to a seaside mansion by an unknown host. As each of the ten porcelain figures of Indians fell off the mantelpiece, one of the guests met with death. Taking parts as ill-fated guests were Susan Carr, Dawson Sather, Morris Jones, and Malcolm Pearson. Aided by Sara Smith, Doug Ray, David Reed, Emify Briggs, John Edmonds, and David McDonald, the actors recre- ated the familiar air of mystery and murder on the MUS stage. Immediately after the New Year, students were treated to an unusual change in the second production of the year. Updating Moliere ' s The 1 {lysician in Spite of Himself to the South in the Forties, Mr. Andy Saunders added many present-day facts and events to treat MUS to its first innovative dramatic happening. Actors Kip Caffey, Buck Lewis, Peg Dickinson, and Stephanie Brown performed and passed out favors during the intermission, acts explicable only if seen in per- son. Also taking part in the unu- sual show were John Whitson, Larry Hatchett, Mack Ray, and Beth Williford. Finally, for the last production of the year, Mr. George Elder, Mrs. Jesse Wesbury, Mrs. Martha TomUnson and Mr. Andy Saun- ders united efforts for the usual musical extravaganza. Choosing that old high school favorite. Bye, Bye, Birdie, they auditioned more than sixty people for the jobs of acting, dancing, and singing. Mal- colm Pearson held the male lead, and Wise Jones cinched the role of Conrad Birdie, the rock and roll star who makes the teeny- boppers swoon. Female roles were held by Jane Hutchinson and Cindy Howell. They were aptly supported with the help of Peg Dickinson, Kip Caffey, and Doug Ray, all contributing to make a successful show.
