Hello Dotly! Gloria House plays Dolly in one of several outstanding per- tormunces she contributed to this year's Wonderful Time. Everyone in the opening, on stage! With these words, the ninth annual Wonderful Time , directed by Mr. Gerald Yentes, assisted by Mr. Lynn Wonder, opened. Many months of rehearsals had preceded the opening of the musical production with its cost of nearly three hundred. It all had started in January when many tryouts had been held, fol- lowed by the posting of results, and the initial individual rehearsals. Then came the long, tedious, group rehearsaIs-sitting in the auditorium for hours at a time, eating at odd in- tervals, and attempting to finish tomorrow's homework. Soon the show began to take shape-the stage crew was chosen, the orchestra was assembled, and the necessary scenery was constructed and painted. The days slipped by and showtime approached. The finut rehearsals were at hand, costumes were quickly tin- ished, the greasepuint was purchased, and the finishing touches were added to complete the musical. Then opening night arrived. The orchestra finished the overture, Gory Komlos began strolling toward the ramp, and Wonderful Time opened its curtains to a huge cru- dience. Exhaustion and frustration quickly melted away in the warmth of the spotlight as the talented dancing of Gloria House and Roger Smith opened the first sequence Once Upon a Sunday. They were followed in the sequence by various dance groups and soloists, inctuding Linda David with her impressive rendition of uBill Bailey. The next sequence With a Smile and a Song was emceed by senior Terry Creeden. It featured special num- bers by The Guys tTerry Creeden, Don Inderrieden, and Ted Shawt; by Rita Pacheco, Mitford's foreign exchange student; and by the HChmmlettes, Sylvia Asbury, Linda Gordon, Delilah Taylor, and Angie Huzeleyy Wonderful Time 1967 boasts a cost of nearly 300 Outstanding performances of the show inducted a three-song medley by the Choralettes , Delilah Taye Ior, Anginette Hozeley, Linda Gor- don. and Sylvia Asbury.
