The nonmusicals were Seven Keys delightful exchange between the male leads under the direction of Nick Pond. Dramatic and beautifully executed best describe the Uncle Thomas scene from The King and I at Olympus, directed by Doug Bishop and Glen Slight. It was visually and vocally a memorable and important number. It is back to comedy at Taylorsville where the antics of Bar-nab- y and Cornelius in the hat shop nearly brought down the house. They were joined by the other principles in the show under the direction of Russ Johnson. Best Direction Nominations for best direction, with all aspects of the production from casting to the final product, taken into consideration, went to three, all of whom would be quick to point out that they had considerable help.

Again, all nominations are in alphabetical order of the schools. From Cottonwood the judges were taken by the handling of The Lonely Goatherd where director Gae Cowley used live people in place of puppets in a number that added considerable life to a show that lacks big production numbers. At Cyprus, the climactic closing scene of Man of LaMancha was presented with considerable feeling and with a sense of the dramatic, under the direction of Charlie Brown. Comedy in a timely fashion was evident ht Granger in the production number A Secretary Is Not a Toy. Tbe intensity with which the girls chorus and dancers performed and the blocking of the number by director Brenda Park was enjoyed by all.

Council President LaRee Pehrson said that according to Charles Baugh, County Recreation landscape engineer, it is highly unlikely that anything can be done about the situation until sometime next summer. Baugh said this years budget was not drafted to include the stump removal project, but he added that when it is, the stumps will be taken out by a stump removing machine and cut six inches below grade. The remaining holes will be filled with dirt and sod.
