I want to be a lady in flower shop . . . , brought Eliza Doolittle's enormous dream to life with the Senior Class Players' production of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion , the non-musical version of My Fair Lady. Lavish Victorian furniture and costumes aided in trans- porting the playgoers to the austere atmosphere of i8th century London where phonetics expert Henry Higgins, portrayed by Ric Gruczynski, happened upon a filthy, cockney flower girl who dreamed of becoming a lady. Eliza, played by Christine Knitter, after being transformed into a duchess, passed her final test at the Ambassadors Garden Party, and thus Higgins won his bet with Colonel Pickering lBob Stencell. Tod Davis thrilled audiences with his drowling, cockney renditions of Mr. Doolittle's per- suasive speeches. Pulaskians were delighted with Richard Truby's portrayal of Freddy Eynesford Hill, Eliza's heart- sick but hopeless lover. A flower ballet by Orchesis mem- bers entitled Dream Eliza supplemented the production. With a cockney farewell, the Seniors made their performance a memorable gift to Pulaski High School. Although the curtain had dropped for the last time, the Play Memory Book remained as proof of the gay and fruitful experience which had become a part of the long tradition of Pulaski's Senior Class Plays. raven, G. lnda, rig wartzhoff, M.

Hippies Spark Pulaski's l'Facl ln ww WM! Wrapped up in current events, David Cram enioys the comfort of his military iacket, a welcome break from starched shirts. Turtles were slow movers before they came to Pulaski. Danna Oberiat, Wayne Pepper, and Vince Gradiian display a fast-moving fad. Wild, colorful, and crazy were the many fads worn by Pulaskians. With hints of the past anal a reach into the future, fads set an exciting scene at Pulaski this year. Warming the frosty winter days, fur, including Eskimo hats and shaggy pile coats, was the way to travel. Legs this year were ci main attraction that gained applause from many attentive boys. Fishnet hose and colorful opaque stockings were worn to coordinate with belted sweater outfits. And hippie bags and mini-bags became important accessories to the girls' wardrobes. Touching the past, chunky heels and square-toed shoes were worn with many of the mocl outfits. Topping off the fads were mini-curls, long falls, and an assortment of hair pieces. To suggest the freshness of spring, dresses boasted color- ful mini flowers. Keeping warm and in with the fads, the boys en- ioyed the benefits of the fishermen knit sweaters and colorful turtlenecks. To keep in lively step, the boys wore buckle boots and faithful loafers. Sparking the eye were glen-plaid pants and a variety of striped hip-hugging pants. During the warm spring days, the boys sported window-pane checked shirts. No matter what the fad, it brightened and added a pleasing touch to the Pulaski scene. The shoes of 68 take a spotlight in fads as they capture the feet of Pulaskians with penny loafers, buckle boots, and desert boots.
