Of Thee I Sing presented to students in afternoon On October 24, 25, and 27 the Vocal Music and Drama Departments held the first produc- tion of the year. Representing a parody of a presidential election Of Thee I Sing was written in 1932 by George Kaufman and Morrie Rysknd. The play was under the direction of drama teacher Mr. Charles Fischer and vocal music in- tructor Martin johnson. Preparation for the play began in early September with an afternoon practice each day Monday through Thursday. A few Saturday practices were also held. Construction of the sets was done by seventh hour Stagecraft class. After a lot of hard rehear- sals and time spent in getting the play together the cast was ready for their first performance. An afternoon matinee was presented to the student body on October 24. Students could at- tend the play by purchasing a ticket for 31.00. The play began at 1:30 and was over at 3:02. At the opening of the play voices were heard singing Vwntergreen jhr President as people mar- ched across the stage with picket signs. As the campaign supporters exited the scene led direct- ly into a hotel room which served as the Na- tional Party Headquarters. A new slogan was being discussed on which john P. Wintergreen, portrayed by David East, was to base his campaign. After discussing various possibilities the committee decided for john to run on a one word platform Lovef' A beauty contest was held in which the win- ner was to become the first lady. While the judg- ing was taking place, john found himself falling in love with the beautiful young secretary Mary Turner, played by Brockie Harvey. After the judging was finalized the committee entered to announce the winner Diana Devereaux who was played by Liesl Wright. In- terrupting all of the ooing and awing over Diana, john proclaimed that he found his only true love. After john and Mary were married Diana protested their marriage. Discussion of impeaching the president WHS dealt with by the committee. If John was to be impeached then the Vice-President, Alexander Throttlebottom portrayed by Trey McIntyre was to become president by law. This would be a disaster due to Throttlebottom's ignorance. As the play came to a conclusion Mary was to have a baby. By surprise she had twins. I thought overall it went pretty good Since most of the main characters were from third hour I fl! that we worked well and had more rehearsal time. Since it was my jirst production I had a chance to get to know the drama students, said Brockie Harvey, junior. Trey McIntyre, on the other hand was in the opposite situation of Brockie. Trey had been in- volved in drama for many years. It was great having such a large cast because I got a chance to work with so many new people, said Mclngire. GOTTA' MAKE THAT DEADLINE - Informing the press of Diana Devereauxs' relation , . 5 f Vi 3' 4 4 fi to Napoleon, reporters Anna McDonald, Mark Day, and Donna Baker take notes from the French Ambassador, played by David Sharlow, so that they can write a good feature story. 18!
