e said ' e could teach me. J J and that ' s exactly what Henry Higgins did. The all-school musical MY FAIR LADY brought a few tears and much laughter to the captivated audience. It took many hours of practice and hard work from the stage crew, art department and student actors and actresses to make the Feb. 23 and 24 production possible. The plot centered around the almost impossible trans- formation of Eliza Doolittle from a Cockney flower girl to a lady. It took place in London, England in 19 1 2. Eliza ' s conversion first began as a hopeless wager be- tween Colonel Pickering and Henry Higgins, both linguistic experts. After many weeks of preparation, Eliza proved her- self worthy of being a lady only to be disregarded and for- gotten when congratulations were handed out. She left Hig- gins with the idea of marrying Freddy Eynsford-Hill, but in the end, Higgins realized he had Grown Accustomed to Her Face. The directors, Mr. Gordon Harper and Mr. John Mills, spent many hours coaching the students in Cockney and other English accents, and in vocal and instrumental scores. Approximately 100 students aided in various areas of the production, and made this delightful story a reality to theii watchers. % f After leaving Henry Higgins, Eliza (Kathy Robinson) visits his mo- ther (Nancy Headrick) for tea and tells other mistreatment. 56
