B eneath the hustle and bustle of New York City, in a dark and musty sewer, Nathan Detroit and his mugs were secretly engaged in the old- est established crap game. With a roll of the dice, Guys and Dolls came to life. Tourists, hoodlums, and bobbie-sox- ers set the atmosphere as the curtain opened on June 23, 1977. The 200 cast and crew members transformed the stage into an array of song and dance, under the direction of Mr. Richard Hol- mberg, music department head, and Mr. Gene Fort, U.S. History teacher. The story revolved around the hi- larious exploits of the runyonland char- acters in the 1950 ' s. The cast was led by alumi Linda Berthold as Sarah Brown, Scott Gruoner as Sky Masterson, Nancy Fine as Adelaide, and junior Tom Bosch as gambler Nathan Detroit. Directed by speech teacher Mrs. Helen Engstrom, the 18 dancers high- lighted the stage in such numbers as The Crap Game Dance , A Bushel and a Peck , and Take Back Your Mink . Because of insufficient funding and a lack of available assistants for technical crews, the staging of a musical produc- tion last year was not possible. The $7,298 needed to produce the musical for this year was raised through dona- tions, ticket sales, sponsors, and patrons. Beginning in April, practices for both cast and crew were held at every avail- able time. Much time was devoted to the memorization of lines and the con- struction of numerous sets in order to make up the 17 scenes. As the curtain came to a close on the fourth and final performance, the lights dimmed in a dark and musty sewer. In the distance there could be heard the si- lent rumbling of dice.
