| "Oklahoma!" - Our spring musical, co-directed by Miss Beamer and Tory Tolley, with Mr. W. Johnson and Miss G. Martin. Work was the word, and everyone: dancers, singers, Ali's men and the Leads found something to do between scenes, whether it was listening to drum solos, or straightening out that tongue twister, "Cowboys dance with the farmers' daughters, farmers dance with the ranchers' gals." On the evening of May 11, the cast sat in 212 with that feeling of dreadful trepidation and wonderful expectation that is "opening night." That night and the next, the house was packed with standing room only. Waiting in the wings is the worst moment, but then you're on stage, and it's on with the show. Exaltation resounds in the final singing of "Oklahoima, OK!" and you can be sure that "Oklahoma!" will be recalled as one of MHS's finest theatrical successes (from the 1974 yearbook) | ||
