Drama In The High School Two plays were produced this year at Northwestern. They were Voices From the High School and Girl Crazy. Voices From the High School is a drama dealing with the problems that high school stu- dents may encounter while Girl Crazy is musical comedy who's lyrics were writ- ten by the Gershwin Brothers. Voices From the High School is a fun- ny. but thought envoking and emotional play. It consists of a series of skits each one dealing with different problem. Problems ranged from a friend that gets pregnant to drugs and girl friend-boy friend problems to personal and family problems Many of the incidents were humorous, but brought out the true feel- ings of teenage life. The students that acted out the parts brought life to the characters and the situations. They did a fanastic job and so did the director Mr. Buttaccio. Girl Crazy is about Kate, a night club singer; Zoli. her accompanist, manager. and ex-husband; Johnny Churchill, ex- star of a television series; and Molly, the Custerville post girl. The play starts off with Kate and Zoli still traveling togeth- er after being divorced. They stop in Custerville, Arizona. Sam Mason comes to Custerville and asks Johnny to come back to Hollywood because there is a job waiting for him But Johnny is happy in Custerville with his Dude Ranch and Molly. While Johnny tries to decide what he wants to do, Sam and Kate try to split Molly and him up. Meanwhile, two crooks. Doc and Snake Eyes, have an illegal gambleing ring going. Since they bought out the sheriff, no one does any- thing to stop them. But Zoli overhears a conversation the two have together and goes to tell Johnny. He and Zoli go and capture the crooks. In the end as in most plays the guy ends up a hero and gets his girl. Johnny gets Molly and becomes the new sheriff and Zoli gets Kate and they all live happily ever after.” Citl of Voice From the High School Jay Krmpf Cindy Johnson Jeffrey Stinton Dana Donch Heidi Kirtch Rich Hoover Brenda Mundkowiky Andrea Tipton Scott Anderton Chri Zurin»ky Kathy Woomer Dave Cuianen Paige McCalmon Jean Parmeter Shawna Card Chris Zurinsky and Kathy Woomer por- tray a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship where they do everything TOGETHER Cindy Johnson and Jean Parmeter por- tray two best friends who have to deal with teenage pregnancy. 12 - Activities
