This was an excellent play to perform for high school students, stated Michelle Kirchner. The play took place in a small Ohio town much like ours. The play dealt with high school stu- dents and their rock-n-roll idols. Bye-Bye Birdie shows the impact that a rock-n-roll star has on the teen- agers of a small town. This rock star, Conrad Birdie, was played by David Turk. Throughout the play Conrad turns the McAfee household upside down. One of the few problems the Richmond Heights Drama Club had to overcome 22 Fall Play was once again the lack of student participation. A major problem was when four actors quit the play. Sophomore Jim Dworning stated that the replacements for those people had only one week to learn their parts. The play ends happily for Ann ' s char- acter because she ends up in Robert Skrbis ' s arms. It also ended happily for Drama Club president Lauri Weis. As president she felt, that the play went quite well considering we needed more time to put it together. The fall play was clearly worth waiting for because of its closeness to real teenage life. — D.H.

While the players are on stage acting out their roles, a powerful army is hidden be- hind the stage. Since the first play ever shown at Richmond Hts. in 1963, the Stage Guild has been around to provide the backbone for these produc- tions. Led by guild director Mr. John Hall, new members are recruited each year to learn the trades of lighting, and stage construction. Communication during perfor- mances is smoothed out by certain members of the guild being assigned to wear headsets. Members are trained for plays, concerts, and other events of stage prominence. The value of the Stage Guild can be seen by attending a play and watching the people behind the stars. Pounding Away. Paula Baron sets up the scenery. Paula is also an active member of mat maids.
