ln the poignant death scene in CAROUSEL, Nettie Fowler lWilma Happyl consoles Julie Jordan lBecky Wrightl by singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Mistaking Carrie's naivete for faithlessness, Carlisle Landreth as the kindly Mr. Snow sings Geraniums in the Winder in the production CAROUSEL. ln the production BERNARDINE, Mike Ambrose as Dink, Philip Shore as Carney, and Chuck McConnell as Beau listen intently, while Stan Hubbard as Wormy makes several telephone calls to old girlfriends in a hope- less attempt to set up a date. Proceeds from BERNARDlNE go toward the Junior-Senior. l4 Assemblies, plays, Varied were the productions that dif- ferent groups prepared to be presented in the auditorium. The dramatics di- rector brought the first to light in the talent show of l963. With students from all classes and of all abilities, an excellent show was composed that was successful in the eyes of all who saw it. Bernardine was the next production, a play dealing in a humorous fashion with the typical problems and anxieties of young people as seen in the teen- agers of Sneaky Falls, Idaho. Carousel, the biggest production of the year, was brought into existence only through the tremendous efforts of the faculty involved. Few people really realize the efforts that so many people must make in order to stage a musical of this type. At the end of the year, students taking a more advanced French course pre- sented two short plays. Finally, the drama classes produced a group of one-act plays. Talented Leland Schwantes gives his rendition of the beautiful song Gigi in the Show Biz Revue, '63, presented in October in the Myers Park Auditorium.
