llffzuic flffcm Think hard. The 1986 spring musical? Flashes of packed auditoriums, standing ovations, and dynamic performances. Enter Professor Harold Hill, self-proclaimed music instruc- tor, vendor of band uniforms and instruments, and proponent of a revolutionary new learning process, the Think System . His plan was to waltz into River City, Iowa, peddle his wares,and once he collected, catch the quickest train out of town. But, things got complicated when .Professor Hill fell deeply, total- ly, and hopelessly in love with the town librarian, Marian lParoo. This only begins to describe ,the events that took place on March 20, 21, and 25. With one lof the largest casts in recent his- ltory, aided by a group of students from Underwood El- ementary School, turnouts were exceptional, and the audiences were not disappointed.

Several cast members went so far as to call out scores from the games, and several members of the audience were seen with small televisions and radios. As Debbi Sisson remarked, 'Alt was kind of funny when I realized this little glow out in the audi- ence was a man watching the N. C. State playoff game on a port- able televisionf' Hats off to every one involved for a four star performance. lfffmjc Mm Professor Harold Hill Marian Paroo Eulalie Shin Mayor Shinn Winthrop Paroo Mrs. Paroo Marcellus Washburn Charlie Cowell Alma Toffelmier Luella Hix Mary Shaw listens intently to Professor Hill's arguments against the proposed town pool hall.
