Mr. Ed Yates, director of “Gentlemen Prefer Flappers,” works hard to get the show in shape. “TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FIND CHANCE TO SHOW OFF TALENT” A variety show, sponsored by the Boosters’ Club, was held on Novem- ber 16 and 17 in the RHS gym. This show included the play entitled, “Gentlemen Prefer Flappers,” which brought back the nostalgia of the 20’s. Some of the students who took part were Debbie Calohan, Becky Brandt, Linda Trent, Kathy Jones, Paula Coates, Donald Brooks, Teresa Martin, Donna Keesee, Walter Haberer, and Janie Clark. A hilarious one act play in which Mr. Sam Martin, Mr. Forest Jones, Mr. Sam Meek and Mr. Dennis Campbell portrayed a bunch of gossips kept the audience laughing. Another one act, entitled “Here We Are,” starred Mike Perro and Becky Brandt playing the roles of very nervous honeymooners. The show also included a musical number from a class at Yellow Branch Elementary. The whole show was indeed a variety and a lot of hard work and talent went into delivering it. Future stage stars, Mr. Dennis Campbell, Mr. Sam Martin, Mr. Forest Jones, and Mr. Sam Meek display their acting ability.
