Show Vol. High School, Provo, I't.ih, .Yovcmhct B. Y. L I ll No. 2 IP4S School Activities Well Under Way Band Continues To Build Success of a Play Nov. 5-- the Childrens Thea- ter put on our first play, Rip Van Winkle. All of the people who saw it say it was one of the best plays Y High has ever put on. The question has arisen what makes a good play. The speech department has decided it isnt just the acting of the cast but the production staff at least half percent. This is what made our first play a success. The people we have to thank for this are in stage managand ing, lights, publicity, make-up- , costumes. The people who did these are: Fred Dixon, assisted by Ralph Rigby were always on time to take care of the stage managing and see if everything was in order. Condon Avery was the first to make the cast really shine that is, he took care of the lights. Con was always prepared to turn the right light on the right person. Joanne Holdaway saw that the name of the play was all over town; of course, it needs a lot of help to do this and Id like to thank Krista Nelson, Sharon Barrett, Nena Flo Law, Joyce Nicholes, Harold Jolley, and Wanita Pinegar for all of the swell posters that they made. Ralph was really a help in seeing that the articles got to the newspapers. Mary Fae Nicholes and Margaret Clarke were the ones guilty of making up (and I mean that literally) the cast. They were and were assisted by Ruth Gammon and our friendly little dwarf, Betty Wallace. Then of course there is Ellen Terry. All of us know that she was costume manager for the play and since she is so well informed on the subject will be the manager of our next three. She alone of course couldnt make up all of those skirts that were used so on her committee was Krista, and Sharon, Laurel Baker, Maralyn Morill, Jo Price, and Joyce Allred. Janet Oaks was in charge of properties and where she got all of the things that we used in the play Janet only knows! So you see it takes more than a cast with a good director like Mr. Lewis, student director like Joana Hobbs, and technical director like Bill Demos to put over a play. It takes at least one more thing, though, besides those I have already mentioned. It takes an interested community that is interested in seeing the play. Did we have that? If you were in town last weekend you know the answer. Some remarks were such, . . . running competition with the college." They should take it on road shows Mother, when is the next play?" Thats much better than just hearing the story." So to the community the cast says, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US SO WELL." The cast, of course, can never have too much credit after the long hours of practicing and working for the play that they have spent. It was really a professional job the way the children were so attentive to the acting. Everyone did an extraordinary job but of course there are some who really astounded us with their acting. Bill was the only person in the school who could have put over the lead so well. So hats off to Bill Demos who not only was the leading actor but the foundation in the production. Derrick, Brom, Dame Van Winkle, Nicholes, Dame Buskirk, Pedlar, Peter, Diedrich, Frieda, and the Judiths are just a few who add more than the part called for to the play. The Dwarfs were the little group of people that the chil dren ohd and ahd at and held the attention of everyone. All of these things that make a success of a play were plentiful in our first childrens series produc tion. The PRODUCTION STAFF, DIRECTORS, CAST, AND A COMMUNITY SUCH AS OURS are the things which make us all look forward to Christmas Carol next month, Heidi in the spring, and The Elves and the Shoe Makers In the picture above are some of the new instruments that proves that the B. Y. High band is building up into what we hope will be the best High School band in the state. It has already grown from a fif- teen piece band to a sixty piece one within two years. Mr. Madsen, band director, thinks the band is doing a wonderful job. In fact he said Provo Highs band is the only-onthat can beat us. If the band continues to improve in the future as much as it has done in the past, Mr. Madsen plans to take the band on a tour. He didnt give the details of the tour but its a wonderful thing to look forward to and incourage all of the kids to do their best. The band is now divided into Senior three distinct divisions High, Junior High, and Beginers Band. They also have a Concert Band consisting of 40 members. To get in the Concert Band the students have to meet heavy requirements. Therefore only the best players can be in this band. inThe band not only has new struments but they have a better environment in which to work. So the kids won't freeze as much as they did last year they have put a heater in the cottage. They have also painted the cottage. They have new cupboards for the instruments and folios for the huge supply of music they have this year. They have tools for making Oboe reeds. (If you dont know what they are ask Dallin Oaks he can tell you anything.) They also expect two rooms to be added as practice rooms. The band officers are: President, Vice President, Kent Broadhead; Don McIntosh; Secretary-TreasurJoana Hobbs; and Librarian is e Sophomore Week We Student-Paren- B.Ys Band Continues t To Improve Relational ip' Theme Of P.T.A.

The chorus will sing a few songs from foreign countries along with our own Christmas Carols. All of the songs havent been selected yet but Mr. Webb will have them within a few days. As for the band side of the story Mr. Madsen said the kids are really getting down to work and doing a wonderful job. He praised the band students very high and even went as far as to say they are better than last year. The band will play three numbers but the duets and other parts havent been chosen so far. The chorus and band will also do a number together.
