x lfAlIQ STIIITQIU Elli Let us entertain you! PHS alumni have succeeded as enter- tainers in a variety of forms of entertainment, and judging from the performances of talented students this year in drama and music, alumni will continue to excel in the world of entertainment in the future. Jemil Akman '76, a ballet dancer, has danced in many cities in the U.S. and Europe.

Alan, the older son, played by Phil Russom, was a playboy who owned an expensive New York apartment. This apartment was the setting for the play. Buddy, the younger son, played by Robert Breig, was the opposite of Alan. He was as much an introvert as Alan was an extrovert. The boys' parents, played by Mark LaVelle and Christy Pruden, disapproved strongly of the boys' lifestyle. Alan's flighty girlfriend, Peggy, played by Debbie Coleman, was pursuing Buddy when she learned he was not really a produc- er from MGM. Eventually, Alan realized that he had fallen in love with Connie, played by Marsha Riepl. The play ended as Alan renounced his playboy role and left Buddy to carry on in his place. by J. Hancock
