RFHS presents its first Shakespearean drama Above — Romeo and Juliet kiss after the discovery of meeting each other. Right — Walter Sobas as Gregory and Reece Wallin as Sampson argue about the discrepancy of the families. “Romeo and Juliet, pro- duced by Mr. Tom Hontz was presented May 7th and 8th in the high school gymnasium as the spring play. Romeo starred Tim Tabla and Sharon Ondo was his Juliet. This was the first Shakes- pearean play ever produced by RF students. It took the place of the usual musicals and com- edies. Mr. Hontz felt the experi- ence would be necessary for those students interested in go- ing into theatrical work. A fish fry was held in the cafeteria before the Friday night performance. It was spon- sored by the yearbook class to raise money for the ' 70 Ingot. Both performances were fi- nancial successes. 13
