r Cathy Shaw and Holly Stewart cuddle Dixie Mills and are surrounded by more beautiful talent. The York High Drama, Music, and Art Dept, presented a superb musical, only to have to say farewell to their faithful inspiration Mrs. Rath- kamp. Indeed, this musical reached a crescendo, displaying the culmination of the products of her years of experience. Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Carousel” is not simply another musical love story, it has a uniqueness, a moving grace, a qual- ity that dares to explore the depths of man’s emotions. York High, under the patient disci- plining hand of Mrs. Rathkamp and the dynamic energy of Mr. Sullivan, brought the script alive inciting both laughter and tears from the audi- ences. Mrs. Mills instructed the creation of the world of scenery and Mrs. Cox provided the music. Jana Wakelyn and Carol Beaman trained the actors’ bodies to dance in one of the most professional choreographic undertakings in York High’s musical history. The outstanding leads were: Holly Stewart who portrayed Julie Jordan, Charlie Diakun as the restless Billy Bigelow, The sinister Jigger played well by Tim Simpson, Tom Wall as the righteous Enoch Snow, and Cathy Shaw as The lively Carrie Pipperidge. Russell Edwards embraces Joi Tucker with their attention directed center stage. 108
