Each year do it yourself Howeites write scripts, make costumes, and paint scenery while rehearsing lines, songs, and dances for the an- nual variety show, the Pleasant Run Revue. This year, director of productions Frank L. Tout and a committee of teachers picked five acts. Zany Zoology, a musical trip through a zoo, was written by Sally Applegate and Pat Sweany. Ice skating and a sleigh ride were the subjects of Winter Wonderland by Joy Tillery and Charlotte Starks. A train station set the scene for Railroad Rhythms produced by Emily Cronau and Brenda Halbrooks. Sea Capers portrayed life in an exotic marine kingdom and was written by Betty Richardson. Deanna Callahan created a moody, musical atmosphere in Strictly Blues. 4 The train whistles of Railroad Rhythms die away as passenger Sherry Barkhau pauses at the mike to sing that she is going to take a Sentimental Journey. ► Won ' t you be my teddy bear? Stan Carter asks Charlene Rennard during a Zany Zoology number. w Act chairmen spend many hours writing scripts and rehearsing, but Betty Richardson, Brenda Halbrooks, Emily Cronau, Sally Applegate, Pat Sweany, Charlotte Starks, Joy Tillery, and Deanna Callahan know that it is worth the trouble when they hear the applause. 22
