PLACES EVERY ON E—Delana Yates, Ron Meredith, Dan Dixon, Renee Harp, Randy Ross, Karen Grundman, Bruce Binning, Cindy Hartmann, Karyn Miller, Melinda Thompson, and Doug Wilson wait for show to begin. Merry-go-rounds, clowns, jugglers, and old-fasnioned costumes on spirited young singers and actors transformed McGuire stage into a festive and colorful setting ready for high drama. On the evenings of March 16, 17, 18, and 19, RHS choirs combined efforts to present the Rodgers and Hammerstine musical Carousel. Involving nearly 100 students on stage, in the orchestra pit, and back stage, Carousel was well received by the community. Student directors and back-stage crews deserve much credit for effective lighting, period costumes, and imaginative properties. Mr. Eby and Mr. Burkhardt, musical directors, were assisted by Scott Parrish, a graduate of RHS, who served as dramatic director. Described as being romantic, melodramatic,colorful, tuneful and melodic, comical and tragic, and an evening of sheer theatrical entertainment,Carousel concludes with one of Broadway’s most lasting songs, You’ll never waif, alone. Major singers and actors were Bruce Binning, Angela Kirby, Rob Tripp, Melissa Harris, Patty Brooks, Hope Steinert, Tim Vaughan, Jeff Perkins. Renee Harp, Rick Madden, Ann Doyle, Ann Jenkins, Nick May, Kent McConnell, Dave Hayes, Jane Coomes, Kevin Perkins, Greg Tipton, and Bill Brisco. A large chorus of sailors, townspeople, miflworkers,children,and dancers, completed the on-stage cast. Musical 21

By and for students Senators, governors, even Mr. President, beware! Some of RHS’s Stu-Cong members plan to move up the campaign trail to become rulers and lawmakers of our country. And Stu-Cong’s accomplishments this year offer substantial recommendations. Money has been high in demand and low in supply, as usual. Various projects to raise money have included selling and delivering treats such as suckers, cards, and carnations for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. But the main source of income has been from candy bar sales. Money made meant money to spend for the homecoming dance--one of the most important events of the school year-ana related festivities. Other mo- ney bought spirit-week prizes for those best dressed in the spirit of each particular day. In addition to adding spice to fun activities, Stu-Cong sponsored an overnight leadership workshop for Dennis Junior High representatives. And during the summer, David Shaw, Angie Simpson,and Melinda Thompson spent a week at the national convention in Reno, Nevada. They attended seminars, participated in contests, dances, and workshops, and stayed with volunteer families in the Reno area. Stu-Cong’s four officers, plus class representatives, form the entire cabinet and meet weekly -or more often if necessary.
