Bye Bye Birdie, North High ' s spring play, was a musical satire on the rock and roll singing craze that has swept the United States and many parts of the world. Produced and directed by John Thompson, the play was based on the book by Michael Stewart. Bye Bye Birdie is the story of a rock and roll singer named Conrad Birdie. When Uncle Sam invites Conrad to join the Army, millions of American female teenagers are ready to secede from the Union. Con- rad travels to Sweet Apple, Ohio to bid farewell to his many fans, all girls, and to give a kiss to Kim Mac- Afee, chosen to receive Conrad ' s farewell symbol to the teen world. The other girls of Sweet Apple are completely infatuated by Birdie, however, the boys consider him a thief of love. In a fit of passion, Hugo Peabody hits Conrad and knocks him cold. Matters are also complicated for Birdie ' s songwriting manager, Albert Peterson, who survives on ten per cent of Birdie and who has hopes of making Rose Alvarez, his secretary, his devoted wife.
