Walk into Light, Romantic Antics, Act chairmen of the 1962 Pleasant Run Revue were Janice Carney and Phyllis Utigard, A Walk into Light , Beverly Tot- ten and Susie Bowman, Hoosier Havoc , Rita Burrell and Ann Each year one hundred fifty Howe students near- ly forsake studies as rehearsals for the annual Pleasant Run Revue begin. They practice singing on stage, drag out old tap and ballet shoes, and work hard at baton-twirling. Each stage movement, every line of dialogue, every song and step is rehearsed well. Months before, script-writers began work on their ideas. Deadline for submission of scripts was imme- diately after spring vacation. A panel of teachers selected four acts from the many entries: A Walk into Light by Jan Carney and Phyl Utigard, Hoo- sier Havoc written by Susan Bowman and Beverly Totten, Romantic Antics by Rita Burrell and Annie Freeland, and Sail Away! by Jo Pheasant and Lissa Purdy. The girls' script-writing over, they began to concentrate on costume-making, casting, and a multitude of the essential properties and details. Selection of scripts is only the first stepping stone on the long road to a successful Pleasant Run Revue. Scenery-painting sessions began at eight each Saturday morning before the revue. Here, Marcia Earley gets down on her knees to help paint the backdrop for Romantic Antics. Freeland, Romantic Antics p and Lissa Purdy and Jo Pheas- ant, Sailaway. Even on the night of the revue these seniors were still busy in the wings making sure everything was OK.
