"Our school musical was presented in March of 1970. The plot involved the misadventures of "the oldest, established, permanent, floating crap-game in New York." It follows the episodes of Adelaide (played by Claire Silvia) to tempt Nathan Detroit (played by Tim Walker) to the altar. Other main characters include Bob Blake as Guy [sic]Masterson, who is ultimately reformed by Debbie Grunstra as Sarah Brown, the Salvation Army lass."    (from the 1971 yearbook)
