Students search for Fameg find it at Redskin Rhythms Changing the pace of the show, drama was also included, with a dramatic inter- pretation called Slow Dance On the Killing Ground. A skit from the Monty Python television series was also presented, as well as a two-girl mime routine called Mirror Image. A group of dancers also performed, along. with a rock-n-roll band named Eucheriah Savage and the Redskins. This group provided a change of music, performing Billy joel's Closer to the Boarderline and I just Can't Wait by the-I. Geils Band. A variety of entertainment was displayed in the program, which for the first year was the sole responsibility of the Drama Department. Mrs. Kim Led- ford, drama instructor, directed the pro- gram. The backstage jitters ran contagiously from one nervous performer to the next just before show-time. But when the cur- tains raised as the show got underway, these Redskins showed that their week's diligence and imagination paid off. The theme was taken from the motion pic- ture Fame, and the show featured various students displaying their talents. A number of solos were included in the program, such as Out Here On My Own, She Believes in Me, and Lady. A trio of Barbara Streisand songs were also performed, with Woman in the Moon, With One More Look at You, and The Way We Were sung by three soloists. Probably the most light-hearted and unique solo was Suppertime, which was sung by Snoopy, portrayed by Kirk Mardock. While performing in Redskin Rhythms, Angela Tomlinson and Alicia Smith, jrs., do a pantomime called Mirror Images.
