Revival Of The A11-School Play The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch, a western parody, was cho- sen for the revival of the All-School Play at Norris. The play, directed by Brenda Thies, takes place in Gopher Gulch, an 1890's western town. Gopher Gulch has all the in- gredients for the idealized myth. Everything is perfect-except for one small fly in the ointm- ent-Sneaky Fitch. Sneaky Fitch is the town bum. He is considered to be the most lily-livered, low-down, yellow-clean-through polecat that ever walked the face of the West. The citizens of Gopher Gulch will do anything to rid their quiet little town of the drunken scoundrel. They finally succeed, or do they? The Fall Play begins with Ioe Carter, better known as Charles Grass, becoming another victim of Rackham's gun. So goes the Code of the West. 5 . - Cast members: FRONT ROW- B. Keel. SECOND ROW- I.

B e-B e Birdie - A Smash Hit For the first time in nine years the high school presented a musical. The try-outs had a tremendous turnout with everyone demonstrating their singing, dancing, and acting ability. After many tedious but well spent hours, opening night finally arrived. The two-act musical had a successful run. Bye-Bye Birdie is a story out of the 50's of a rock singer, Conrad Birdie, who is being drafted, much to the dismay of his adoring fans and his manager, Albert Peterson. In order to free Albert of Conrad's debts and make him her husband, his secretary, Rosie Alvarez, devises a scheme to have Conrad give One Last Kiss to one last miss on the Ed Sullivan Show. The lucky one is a lovely young gal, Kim MacAfee, who enjoys the whole idea in spite of her all-but-destroyed boyfriend, Hugo Peabody. Finally, Albert convinces his mama that he is a grown man, quite capable of taking care of himself. Hugo wins Kim back, Rosie and Albert are joined in wedlock, and Conrad is off to fight in the war. Kim reassures Hugo, that even though she admires Conrad, Hugo is still the one she loves. Kim MacAfee informs her parents that it is no longer modern to refer to them as mom and dad but rather, to their disapproval, as Doris and Harry. Word travels fast in a small town and as soon as everyone heard that Hugo had pinned Kim the telephone lines were kept bush for nearly three-quarters of an hour.
