fhe Summer Theatre Workshop was an experiment of sorts at Pike. Essentially, Mr. James Myers, director, wanted to see if a summer workshop would work and if anyone would sign up. The play, Neil Simon ' s Barefoot in the Park, was a success with 20 students participating. The final product began in the form of tryouts and cleanup during summer school hours. After canvas was torn off old flats and wood was sorted, the set was designed and the floor taped to show where the new set would be. As actors rehearsed, new flats were covered, costumes were found at Goodwill and props were borrowed from all around town. One of the purposes of the work- shop was to give everyone a chance to do everything. All actors helped build and paint the set, and the crews took turns at portraying the characters. The comedy itself concerned the tri- als and tribulations of newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter (senior Liz White and junior Jeff Jump). The vis- itors up to th eir fifth floor New York brownstone included an ancient deliv- ery man (senior Rick Miller) and a tele- phone man (junior Jeff Edwards). The young couple also had to contend with Victor Velasco, the Bluebeard of 48th Street from upstairs (junior Bruce Buckwalter) and Corie ' s mother (se- nior Nancy Beverly). » ' Below: After a trip to Staten Island for dinner and a five flight climb, junior Jeff Jump struggles in the door with senior Nancy Beverly.

We live at school seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year. That doesn ' t include athletic practice, play rehearsals and club meetings af- ter school. When the bell rang on the last day of school in June, the kids who had en- rolled in a summer school might as well have stayed seated. Band mem- bers and football players walked out the door, said hello to the outside world, and headed back to Pike. Sometimes it just doesn ' t seem worth it— leaving the sunshine and poolside to hit the books, and having to wake up at 6:00 a.m. Yep. We ' re here at Pike High School for another nine months— in sickness and in health ( I think I ' m catching a cold from the air conditioning. ) for ri- cher or for poorer ( $24.95 for book rental?! ' ) for better or for worse. ( I think I flunked my calculus test. ) The 1975-76 school year is here.
