Earle and Paschetto Are “Loverly” Aaaoooww screamed Eliza Dool- ittle as the lights went down and the curtain opened Eliza, played by Linda Earle, was the central character of Lerner and Leowe's My Fair Lady ' based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. My Fair Lady is the story of a poor girl, Eliza Doolittle, who is dis- covered by General Pickering and Professor Henry Higgins, two famous language experts. Professor Higgins, author of Higgm's Universal Alpha- bet, is intrigued by Eliza's disregard of the English language and he attempts to train Eliza and pass her off as a European born and bred lady. Eliza's famous song I Could Have Danced All Night reflects her having fallen in love with Henry Higgins. Another memorable song, I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face, sung by Higgins, first indicates his love for her. The senior play was supervised by director Mrs. Renee Maxwell, musical director Mrs. Alice Berman, technical director Mr. Warren Matson, and stu- dent director senior Pam Mauer While choreography was done by Mrs. Leah Mauer, additional techni- cal work came from the Stagecraft class taught by Mr. |ohn Orr.

Doolittle, Dianne Milligan as Mrs. Pearce, John Marrah as Freddie Eyns- ford-Hill and Anne Trooper as Mrs. Higgins.

 Pancake Breakfast — No Flop for Seniors Saturday morning, (anuary 20, 7:00 a m.: A group of drowsy seniors gath- ered in the kitchens of the cafeteria to make orange juice, cut coffee cake, brew coffee, and heat sausage. On a separate grill, crews perfected their technique for flipping pancakes to be put together into a delicious breakfast for nearly four hundred hungry customers between 8:00 and 12:00 o'clock. Preparation for the activity began early in lanuary, with Lisa Bruno coordinating the Senior Class officers in various duties. Tim Galbraith gath- ered volunteers for numerous jobs, Debbie Phipps ordered the food, Lori Hotaling printed and distributed tick- ets, and Rachel Simon arranged for advertising. With advisors Mr. Gerald Gance and Mrs. Renee Maxwell, the func- tion proved to be a financial success for the class, raising about $400 for yearbook and prom expenses. After the last of the batter was scraped from the bowls and the final glass of orange juice poured, the sen- iors scoured the kitchens and reflected on a job well done.
