S t s i --Y -wp Xxzfif A-.ffl x The 1974-75 Show Group presented their annual spring spectacular on April 20th and 21st this year. The group entertained near capacity crowds both nights with a two-hour variety of music, dance, and comedy. Performing beneath a huge sus- pended SPEC '75 sign they made of paper flowers, Show Group members enjoyed themselves as well as pleased their audiences with group numbers, solos, and skits. Several singers prac- ticed together to provide novelty num- bers to add spice throughout the pro- gram. Each of the eight Show Group seniors sang solos, as did a few of the underclassmen in the organization. Under Fred Prescott's direction, the Show Group perfected their songs and routines to gain the professional touch in their act. Dressed in formal outfits, the group enter- tained with great variety.

up this spring for a production of The Remarkable ennypacker . With Gary V. Myers as producer and Finkel, a 1971 graduate of SHS, as director, the two lubs rehearsed for several weeks to present the play on arch 20th and 21st. Pennypacker was a delightful comedy with a quick ace and plenty of laughs. Similar to a three-ring circus, the lot branches out in several directions-all at the same ltime. Both the cast and the audience enjoyed the many humorous predicaments that prevailed in the Pennypacker household. Members of the Pennypacker family were portrayed by talented young actors from both groups, including Jeff Hart, Leigh Risley, Ryoko Mills, Joe Hurst, Tracy Brunner, Jane McCormick, Merrie Elliott, and John Hall. The brood of small children and a cast that varied from a ministerls son to a lady newspaper reporter were aptly played by 13 other club members. To demonstrate their appreciation, the cast made presen- tations after the final performance to Producer Gary Myers, Director Sondra Finkel, and Thespian President Tracy Brunner. The play was successful on all parts and proved worthy of the audience's rousing applause. Mask and Dagger Club and Thespian Troupe 4713334 P 97 ' Jeff Hart did an excellent job in the title role.
