Hey, look us over, chorus the cast of the Fall Ro- finale. Students were rewarded for their labor by per- deo of 1961 as they fill the stage during the grand forming for a full house both nights of the show. For Second Rodeo Performance of ' 67 For the first time, the PHS Rodeo was a vari- ety show composed of separate acts presented by talented students rather than a show utiliz- ing a theme as in the past. Dressed in feminine attire, the P-Club mem- bers pantomimed the song Bushel and a Peck. The Tigerettes charmed the audience with an exotic dance to Persian Market Place, while the Majorettes performed a pre- cision drill to Toy Soldiers. Two old favorites, Shine On Harvest Moon and When You Wore a Tulip, were sung by the choir and audience in Mitch Miller sing- along style. Tim Noble led the group as Mitch. Selections by the Choir and Swing Choir, plus other entertaining skits, made the PHS Rodeo of 1961 a memorable event. Watch those cues, Sally, Mr. Carroll Wright, direc- tor, tells Sally Wiltshire, student director, as he ex- plains the intricacies of directing a Rodeo. Listening in on the conversation are Mr. Wayne Taylor, art director; Judy Waltz, accompanist, and Mr. James Noble, music director. 11 ft

Seniors Portray Dobie and Friends The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis was pre- sented by the Senior Class on April 6, 1962. The play opens at Salmon P. Chase High School on a typical troublesome day for Dobie. Dobie ' s problems center around Helen, a so- phisticated girl whom Dobie worships; Petey, the athletic boy friend of Helen, and Bonnie, the ever-faithful admirer of Dobie. Having de- pleted the funds of the school paper, Dobie comes up with the idea of a grand subscrip- tion dance to raise money. When he hires an off-beat comedy band for the dance and can ' t sell any tickets, it seems the end of the line for Dobie. However, with the help of Happy Stella, Bonnie, and Limbo Lamb, Dobie manages to get himself out of trouble and to work every- thing out satisfactorily. I ' ll shake you until your eyeballs are dancing in their sockets, says Petey Bellows (Kraig Dawalt) to Dobie Gillis (Jim Grund). Bonnie (Vicki Welke) and Helen (Sally Wiltshire) try to save Dobie from Petey ' s wrath. Is everyone ready? asks Susan Carlin, student di- rector. The members of the Happy Stella Kowalski Band are ready to enliven the play with their antics and to add more problems to Dobie ' s life. They are R. Doucette, B. Zimmerman, F. Holmes, J. Howard, D. Blackman, and A. Wills.
