V l Cast ' s enthusiasm contributes to success Preparation for the 1974 musical, Li ' l Abner, began early in January in the form of casting and rehearsals. The total cost of the production, sponsored jointly by. the Drama and Music departments, was $2,700. Attending the three evening performances was a total of 2,500 people. Included in the cast were several live animals, including a pig and a pony. Mr. Thomas Feit, director, commented that he felt the show brought out the talents of many seniors not only in acting but also in producing because leading roles and com- mittee chairmen positions were all held by seniors. Two things contributed to making Li ' l Abner a success, Mr. Feit believed. The large attendance was due to the fact that Li ' l Abner is a well known show and, perhaps most important, the cast truly en- joyed putting on the show. MEN OF DOGPATCH, Ken King, Mike Kra uthammer and Bob Matthews, ju- niors, ponder the reasons for the evacua- tion of the town with Abner. DAISY MAE (JUDIE McCall) pleads with Dr. Finsdale (John Price) not to force the citizens of Dogpatch to leave their home.
