BLUE RIMROCK refers to a high school in a remote town somewhere in the west- - and concerns the appearance of a Spaceman student, who shoots off a moon rocket in class; a mild-mannered young graduate of Hackensack Teachers College who is the first male teacher in ten years; a rather precocious principal, who be- sides being a female football coach is an incurable sentence diagrammar; an Eng- lish teacher who knows her letters but her figure she ignores; and a man-crazy stu- dent who is eager for some private tutoring. A ROCKET IN HIS POCKET develops into a fast-paced and often hilarious scene of planned confusion, which ends up in fine, funny fashion. Congratulations Coach! Tensions were high!
