The Pirates Have Come The play Pirates of Penzance was performed last spring by the underclassmen. This musical drama took much work and dedication on everyone's part to learn the songs which made up about two-thirds of the play. After the usual one night performance at Henry, the show toured Olson and Jordan Junior High Schools, where it was delightfully received. When the director first went over the play with the assistant directors. Connie Pikkula and Tom Reilly, there was some doubt that it would be accepted by the audiences, especially at the Junior Highs. The play proved to be a success in spite of it all. One of the many complications included some of General Stanley's daughters who were not able to attend a number of the rehearsals due to cheerleading and danceline tryouts. 1. Maior General Stanley (B Borea) tells Sam. the first mate (T Shopek). that he Is an orphan, so the pirates decide not to kill him. 2. The cast looks on m awe when the Major tells the pirates that he is Great. 3. The policemen sing of their courageousness, yet they are really quite scared of the pirates 4.
