ei Sear oner a eri The curtain went down to standing ovations December eighth and ninth when the Stuarts Draft High School Players presented “The King and I”. The excellent cast in- cluded Kim Monroe as Anna Leonwens and Andrew Sitter as the King. These two, along with forty-eight other members of the cast, presented the play with such realism that the school auditorium became the Kingdom of Siam for three hours each night. Other members of the cast in- cluded Arlene Roane, David Gib- son, Nancy Quillen, Peter Stone, Sam Harris, Mike Hewitt, Doug McCay, Jeff Spooner, Fred Stone, and Paul Harouff. The play revolved around the incidents of an English school- teacher in the Kingdom of Siam with a very arrogant king as her employer. Children from Ladd Elementary School and Stuarts Draft Middle School portrayed Anna’s students to add a real touch to the play. The musical was directed by Ms. Ferree; the technical director was Mrs. Debbie Glenn. Mrs Spillman was in charge of costumes and Mrs. Talbott was the music director, with Tammy Holloway as accompanist and Larry Wilson as percussionist.

As Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta swept the nation, discos came alive. The Bee Gee’s were flying high with ‘Stayin’ Alive’. The Village People were the new disco group. They had two smash hits; “Macho Man” and “YMCA.” The song “YMCA” brought a- long the dance “YMCA”’. The “Rock”’ was the next popular dance to follow. Along with the discos came the new fads. A few of the fads were satin pants, disco skirts, and silk shirts for the guys. Everyone shook their “groove thing” and, like Rod Stewart, wondered if they were sexy. After the discos, everyone went to McDonalds to hang out or to check out the nice-looking guys or girls. John Travolta started the disco fever, and it seems that disco will last forever.
