The 1967 Senior Class Play, Oliver proved unique in many as- pects. Director, Mr. Gerald Yentes began casting the play in September, CI month eortier than usual, selecting 43 seniors supplemented with 12 junior high boys. Seventh grader, Tim Brotten, was chosen to portray Oliver. Senior Gary Komlos was picked to portray the grizzled pick- pocket, Fagin, and Linda David was chosen to depict the tragic figure of Nancy. Other major roles were won by Terry Creeden, Rhonda Dean, Dale Carr, and Louis Murphy. Because uOliver! was such a tremendous production, the cost begun rehearsals immediatety. While the aspiring actors and actresses mem- orized lines, learned songs, and mastered the art of blocking, a revol- ving stage, the first of its kind at Milford, was constructed to allow the necessary scene changes, Senior stage hands painted scenery depicting ISth century London which served as background for the duut-Ievet stage, Mrst Trudy Stevens designed and created mid-t 81h century English costumes which added another distinctty professional touch to the two pertormances. The final rehearsals dissolved rapidly into tout nerves as the 12- piece orchestra began the overture on opening night. Then Oliver! was over, and only the memory remuined-the memory of a favorite song, at the weeks of rehearsals, of the applause at finale, of a success- ful play. Nobody mentions my name! roars Louis Murphy as the villainous Bill Sikes, embracing Linda David us Nancy.
