Laurie Dictsch, ButLe Archibald, Tim Parsons, ind Brenda C.htistopliersen diligently memoriae their lino All cast members attended daily pennies tlut lasted foe several hours in order to guarantee a superior performance Merriment was the feeling exhibited by many who attended the music department s spring production of The Pajama Game As Robin VanOrder said. The show was so comical that it kept me laughing until the finish! The feeling was mutually expressed by Miss Elizabeth Chrisman who commented that 'It was incredibly amusing, and. as Hines. Doug Dickey really stole the show with his facial expressions and unbelievable agility. As traditionally done with the spring musical, the major leads were double cast in order to offer positions to a greater number of students as well as to add variety to the show Eighty-nine persons made up the Cast which included the entire chorus Careful selection of the cast was done by musical director Jack Woodruff and by drama director Jack Denyes Orchestra and choreography direction was executed by Mr Timothy Muffit and Mrs. Dianne Dennis Dan Rudmann and Kaya Shih were student assistants to the drama director. Accompanying the vocalists in the musical was a live orchestra consisting of the high school band members. Also ornamenting the vocal set were the 'Once a Year Dancers.' The arena of action in The Pajama Game took place in a small mid-western town and centered upon labor-management difficulties at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory. The union demanded a 7Vi cent per hour raise which was refused by the management Interesting twists were added to the plot as many romances blossomed in the process of attaining the said raise The leading characters of The Pajama Game were as follows: Sid Sorokin I Burke Archibald. Jeff Sharpi, Kate Williams (Brenda Chnstophersen, Michelle Rachocki). Gladys (Christie Gcrou, Pam Pope), and Hines (Bob Raines. Doug Dickey) Enabling the show to run efficiently and providng accents of realism to the set were the members of the stage crew Rick Mone. Jeff Andrews. Scott Tipton, Nick Johnson. Geoff Young, and David Blair worked diligently to help make the show a success. As Pam Pope commented, Without the stage crew, the sets would have been mere post and lintels. With its favoraole reviews. The Pajama Game will be remembered as a success. .■O Student Lite

Say. Mary, did Christy or Brett say anything about the band' Well, you know Christy and Brett tried to be at the prom only for the last ten minutes, so maybe they didn't hear that much of them.
