told Fantasies A hard working cast began rehearsing at the end of February for the show to be presented at the Civic Theater, May 14-17. Before long, those dotes had passed, and the seventh annual Fantasies production was a part of Western ' s history. With Puerto Rico as a setting, the show was concerned with three American Sail- ors, of varying degrees of intelligence and financial means, who intended to build a night club on the island. In the process they joined forces with a stranded show troupe with many results, love being not the least. Music for the show was student-written and took on a fiesta time air. Featured number was Holiday. Michael Zins, director; Gilbert Kurschner, produce Jerry French, Douglas Johnson, Gordon Sherwood Back row: Harriet Goodrich, Barbara Newman, Dolores Lee, Patricia Johnson. Front row: Olga Nickoloft, Rita Datcher, Jean Kenny, Beverly Tait, Nancy Mclntyre.
