Boeth C Morgan, W. Holloway, C. Hughes, D. Krueger, 26 Musical 'Either We Get 75 Cents Or We Strike? A management versus labor conflict with a romantic twist was the basis for the plot of the spring musical, i'The Pajama Game. Presented to large and appreciative audiences on March 19, 20, 21, and 22, the popular production was the culmination of many long and often tedious after-school, evening, Saturday, and Sun- day rehearsals by students in the music and drama departments. A pajama factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was the setting of Act l. At this time, members of local 343 of the Associated Garment Workers of America were on the verge of striking for a seven- and-a-half cent raise in wages. In the course of the fray, a factory worker, was pushed by the new superintendent, Robert Breig, and the Union's grievance 19 committee chairperson, Kim Snelson, was called to settle the resulting altercation. When Kim arrived, it was love at first sight, and the plot uthickenedli' A union meeting in Eagle Hall was the setting of Act Il. Tempers had begun to flare since the raise had still not been approved, and the romance had begun to cool. Before the final curtain, however, Robert saved the day in the excitement of a clandestine meeting at the Hernandos Hideaway. Finally, love prevailed and the workers won their seven-and-a-half cents. The musical was directed by Mr. Charles Hughes and Mr. Ronald Boeth. O 5 I x 'Y Q Cast. First row, left to right: J. Turner, A. Roeder, B. Pummill. Second row: P. Russom, M. LaVelle, M. Treece, J.
