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.

Greg Stratton, Annette Peterson, and Denise Finney experiment with ways to make ‘“‘Black more beautiful.” One of Rustburg’s most original stu- dents, Larry Elliott brightens the day with a look all his own. Senior Richard Richardson like many others at RHS finds the “underwear shirt” a great match for jeans. Ladies of the flapper show get things off to a good start with a colorful opening number.

A slide show and music, supplied by the Life Action Singers, was one of the ASS EM BL | ES: assemblies given for the students this year. FIRST AID FOR SCHOOL DAY To the rejoicing of the students, the busy routine of school work was occasionally interrupted by assemblies this year. The orienta- tion assembly was to familiarize students with teachers, facilities the school offered, and the various clubs the students could join. The entertainment at RHS ranged from a music show given by the Life Ac- tion Singers, to a Christmas play sponsored by the S.C.A. and the Student Advisory Counsel. Unfor- tunately, the play was canceled when school closed early for vaca- tion. A magazine assembly was held to try to raise money for the classes. All in all, the students seem- ed to enjoy the class work breaks very much even if they were forced to sit on bleachers and chairs. Mr. Jones is always willing to lend a hand at magazine sale assemblies. Living 26
