College presents Webster exhibit
Artwork by Port Angeles
painter Esther Webster will
be on display in the PC Pub
gallery through Jan. 31.
Mrs. Webster, 75, has
been painting since childhood and has had showings
in the Western Museum
Directors Circuit and a onewoman show at the Seattle
Art Museum. One large canvas exhibited in the display is
on loan from the Seattle Art
Museum.
Mrs. Webster says she
began painting when she was
about five.
“Children should be
encouraged to draw, sing,
dance and play act; it’s
natural when you’re young,”
she says. “Children can draw
superbly. Their drawings are
simple and violent, usually
—very interesting.” She says
drawing “is hard work and
becoming involved,” and
that the discipline involved is
especially good for young
children.
Mrs. Webster has
completed about 35 pictures
for this exhibit in the last
three years. Most oi the
paintings are things in
nature: mountains, glaciers,
trees, the Strait of Juan de
Fuca. She also has abstract
paintings and models
included in her collection.
“Art is a valuable thing,” –
she says. “1 used to walk ten
blocks to catch a train to
school, then walk another
ten blocks when I got off. I
spent a lot of time drawing. I
found it interesting to sketch
anyone that looked interesting and try to get down on
paper everything I saw.”
Mrs. Webster and two
other girls went to New York
in a Model T. She took art
classes at the Art Students
League and later at the
Boston Museum.
She and her husband
Charles came to Port
Angeles in 1934 where he
worked on the family newspaper. Mrs. Webster began a
30-year journalism career
during World War II. She
sold the Port Angeles Evening News in 1971.
Powerful Jamaican film to show
“The Harder They Come”
will be the feature film Monday evening in the Little
Theater as part of this winter’s weekly film series.
This first genuinely Jamaican film powerfully relates
the ambitions and struggles
of a young musician. Running marijuana to support
himself, the musician kills a
policeman during a drug
bust. The musician is hunted
and hounded by the police
and local syndicate just as his
record tops the charts, and
he becomes a local folk hero.
Jimmy Cliff delivers an exciting performance as the
dynamic musician, and the
authentic reggae sound track
received tremendous critical
acclaim.
“The Harder They Come”
is an uncompromising film;
inherently reflective of the
island’s cultural traditions,
the film manages at the same
time to speak even more
clearly to non-Jamaicans.
The movie had long playing runs in many major
cities. The whole movie is in
a form of Black Jamaican
dialect. However, only the
first five minutes are in subtitles because the dialect is a
form of English.
“The Harder They Come”
has more guts, wit, humor
and sheer exuberance than
most movies you’ll see in any
one year of moviegoing,”
says the New York Times.
“Great, just incredible,”
adds Todd Jefferson,
English instructor at Peninsula College.
On the same evening will
be a short film, “Angel and
Big Joe,” a 1975 Academy
Award winning short.
Bentley to read
Beth Bentley will give the
first poetry reading in this
quarter’s Foothills Poetry
Series Thursday, Jan. 25, at
noon in the Little Theater.
Ms. Bentley received her
B.A. in English from the
University of Minnesota, and
her M.A. from the University of Michigan, where she
won a Hopwood Award for a
novel. Her publications included two chapbooks,
“Field of Snow” and “Philosophical Investigations”,
and two collections, “Phone
Calls from the Dead” and
“Country of Resemblances.”
In 1976-77, she received a
grant from the National
Endowment of the Arts
which she: used to do research
in France. She spent the
summer of 1978 as an intern
in arts administration at the
National Endowment of the
Arts in Washington, D.C.
In the last 12 years she has
taught, both in community
colleges-and programs for
gifted children.
Ms. Bentley’s reading is
co-sponsored by the Washington Arts Commission and
the PC Public Service Committee.
Writers make plans
Thirteen members of the
Writer’s Workshop met Jan.
11 in the faculty lounge.
They reviewed and discussed
copies of their writings and
made tentative plans for
future meetings.
The group plans to invite
Beth Bentley, the first featured poet in this quarter’s
Foothills Poetry Series, to
join it at the next meeting,
Jan. 25 at 3 p.m.
Tom Hostetler, Peninsula’s speech instructor, will
address a future meeting to
give the writers some tips on
improving oral presentations
of their works.
The workshop was started
to help any interested Peninsula College writers by discussion and critique of their
work. Meetings are held bimonthly, and will be announced in the bulletin.
Poetry workshop scheduled
Cliye Matson, widely published poet and teacher from Oakland, Calif., will be at Peninsula College Feb. 21-22 to present a poetry reading and conduct workshops for students and area poets. Matson will examine poetry submitted by interested students. He will then comment upon the poetry and Idiscuss the works with the ivriters individually. He will) conduct a number of workshops for writers. Matsonfs poetry reading will be hel<4 at noon Feb. 22 in the Littje Theater. Anyone interested in receiving one credit (English 295j) for the workshops must submit three poems to Jack Est’es, PC English instructor, by^Thursday, Feb. 8. The po£ms will be forwarded to Matson. Students should plan on meeting with Matson in the workshops and in personal conferences. The special program and workshop is being sponsored jointly by the Washington State Arts Commission, the PC Public Service Committee, and the humanities and social sciences divisions of the college.

Art building burglarized
The PC art room was burglarized during the school
break and $1,000 worth of
artwork and supplies was
stolen.
According to Bill Merrill,
art instructor, three stoneware jars, two water color
paintings, a paintbox with
supplies, a calculator and
possibly some student
drawings were taken.
Mr. Merril discovered the
stoneware missing after he
came to the art room to
check on the kiln cooling. He
and some of his students had
fired the kiln the night
before;. Mr. Merril later
noticed that the two water
colors were missing frdm his
office along with the calculator. Further checks revealed that some students’ drawings and supplies were
missing.
Mr. ‘Merril said the thief
climbed a partition to get
into his office in order to get
the water colors and calculator.
“Whoever it was knew
where everything was and
seemed to know what they
were looking for,” he said.
Grad survey Tabulated
Tabulation of the graduation questionnaire taken at
registration was recently
completed.
There were 122 responses,
with 72 indicating they would
participate in a formal graduation ceremony. Thirty-five
responses said they didn’t
care, because they would not
go to anything planned.
The survey was taken to
determine the current feelings regarding graduation.
Jim Lunt will be
coordinating graduation
exercises again this year and
will have a proposed fee
collection and schedule
available for consideration
soon.
BUC challenges Cornaby to act
Last quarter we challenged PC’s faculty and administration to consider the possibilities of re-establishing the
Studium Generale program as a credit course. We feel
now is the proper time for action and not procrastination.
According to the Community College Act of 1967, the
purpose of the community college system is to “offer
thoroughly comprehensive educational, training and
service programs to meet the needs of both the communities and students” which includes “community services of
an educational, cultural and recreational nature.”
The Studium Generale program has the potential to
offer a wide variety of exciting, interesting and education-
*al experiences for both students and the community alike.
The program could be designed and organized to make
the utmost use of the talents and expertise that lies within
our community.
What better history lesson could be provided for
students who know little about World War II than a
program by one of the highly decorated generals who
reside in Clallam County? Or lessons on politics, writing,
science, research, ecology or advances in medicine by
specialists in their fields? Here at Peninsula, and in both
Clallam and Jefferson Counties we have enormous
reserves of knowledge and information that are seldom
utilized.
The programs would be drawn from three sources: our
local community, the college faculty and outside lecturers.
It would draw together academic and vocational students
and members of the community in a broad program of
education and enlightenment.
PC President Paul Cornaby says, ”1 like the idea. Maybe
it’s an idea whose time has come again. We would all
have to agree that is was a good and necessary thing. You
can’t run it very long or interest drops off again. It’s not a
localized thing—it has so many tentacles that reach out in
all directions.”
Dr. Cornaby says the biggest proglems involved in the
program as a credit course were that it was under-funded
and was a “tremendously draining activity for the person
involved in coordinating it.”
Both problems could be alleviated with proper
planning. The funding would have to be carefully thought
out so that enough money was allocated to maintain it.
The funding could be arranged, providing the powers that
be intend for the program to succeed.
The assingment of a faculty member to coordinate the
program would have to be a careful selection. Only someone who cares enough about the program to put some
time and interest into it would add to its chances of
success. But why not have the program overseen by more
than one faculty member (perhaps on a part-time basis),
or a committee which would collect the ideas and input of
a greater number of people?
There are other possibilities that haven’t even been
considered. Why not initiate a pilot program to draw
senior citizens? College vehicles could pick up people
lacking transportation at designated points. A faculty
advisory committee could even be established to gather
information on individuals or organizations which could
present programs and also collect feedback from the
community on the quality of the programs. The advisory
committee should also include students.
Faculty members who have particular specialties would
be constantly encouraged to add to and share their
knowledge with others.
The final decision belongs to Dr. Cornaby. We feel the
idea has been presented and been bandied about in
various faculty divisions long enough. It is time someone
with the authority and the knowledge took the idea from
the “pending” stage and put it into action. Only by making
it an active issue will we learn what potential problems
there are and find ways of solving them. Important
educational experiences are being lost as time passes.
With preparation, the program could begin spring
quarter.
We therefore challenge Dr. Cornaby to take a stand on
this issue and light the fire under those who would simmer
indefinitely. Actions speak louder than bureaucratic
shuffling. Dr. Cornaby, is it to be or not to be?

Counselor’s Corner
PC grad counsels minority students
By SANDIE DAVIS
There are many people at
Peninsula College whose
major function is to help
with students’ needs. Phil
Adams is one of them.
He is tilled director of
minority affiars, but he also
does “a little basic counsel
‘s-” i . Mr. Adams graduated
from PC in 1972 and transferred to Washington State,
where he received a B.A. in
history. When he returned
for a visit to Peninsula College he got his job with the
counseling services. In the
near future, Mr. Adams
plans to return to WSU to gel
his master’s degree in
guidance and counseling.
As director of minority
affairs, his major responsibility is to see that PC
catalogs are distributed
throughout the country, and
that incoming foreign
students are taken care of.
“I’m the only name or
person they know when they
get here,” he comments.
“I’ve sat for hours with
some foreign students, and
you can learn a lot about
different cultures,” he says.
As a result of his communicating with students and
schools from abroad, Mr.
Adams has become an avid
collector of stamps, which he
displays in his office.
He is a native of the Peninsula, as his family lives in
the area and he was
graduated from Sequim High
School. He’s spent four years
in the Air Force without
building any favoritism
towards the service.
“Puerto Rico duty was
terrible,” he said,, “but the
country was really nice.”
To the surprise of most
who know him, Mr. Adams’
favorite pastime is music.
“A lot of people don’t
know I’m a musician—
they’re really shocked when
they see me,” he says.
He plays rhythm and lead
guitar with his brother and a
bass guitarist. He also contributes to the vocals.
A look at the artists
Cheech, Chong give ‘Pure entertainment’
By RACHEL LEWIS
and NANCY KILMER
“Up in smoke, that’s
where my money goes.”
“Up in Smoke’’ stars
Cheech Marin and Tommy
Chong as Pedro and Man,
respectively. While the movie
is not Academy Award
material, it is pure entertainment. The lack of plot is excused by the comic genius of
Cheech and Chong.
Putting in a guest appearance is one of Cheech and
Chong’s old friends, the
doggedly determined, if
somewhat inept, Sgt.
Sadanko, played by Stacy
Keach. Zane Busby gives an
excellent performance as
Jade East, a hitch-hiker with
a portable pharmacy. Other
minor parts are played by
Strother Martin, Edie Adams
and a huge joint.
The movie follows Pedro
and Man from Los Angeles
to Tijuana and back, search
ing for their next joint. For
the most part, they spend
their time inadvertently
avoiding getting busted.
“Up in Smoke” is filled
with classic Cheech and
Chong humor. . .
“What’s in this, man?”
“Mostly Maui Wowie and
a little labrador, man.”
“Labrador?”
“Yeah, my dog, the little
_____________________, ate my stash.
Had to follow him around
for three days with a baggie,
man.”
Also their “bathroom”
style humor, illustrated by
Pedro’s long shuffle to the
“Toros” room through a
marijuana packing plant.
The movie concludes at a
punk rock festival where
everyone joins in the fun. So,
tomorrow morning, when
you roll over and put your
foot into a bowl of Cheerios,
remember Cheech and
Chong’s solution, “I take a
loke and all my cares go up
in smoke.”
The movie, rated R,
recently played in Port
Angeles and will be featured
soon in Port Townsend.
Shown with “Up in
Smoke” was a 1950’s scare
tactic propaganda film
“Reefer Macfriess”, starring
no one with any talent or
intelligence. The film
brushed aside heroin and
cocaine as drug problems,
calling marijuana, “America’s real public enemy
number 1.”
The quantity of marijuana
consumed by the six people
in the film would knock the
entire population of Port
Angeles on its collective ear
for a month.
It was, however, interesting to view a film of this
vintage and see a historical
viewpoint of an acitivity now
socially accepted.

Pirates blown out by LCC
The Peninsula Pirates are
still looking for a league win
following a tough 87-71 loss
to the Lower Columbia Red
Devils at home Saturday
night.
Peninsula opened Coastal
Division play at Grays Harbor and was blown out by the
tough Choker squad 92-74.
The Pirates then played host
to the Olympic Rangers, who
stole a 64-63 overtime win
Jan. 10.
Coming off these two
losses the Pirates were
looking to upset the tall Red
Devil club and begin their
two-game road trip with a 1-
2 league record. LCC spoiled
their hopes, however, as they
capitalized on Peninsula mistakes in the second half of
play to take an easy win.
The Pirates had the help of
a large crowd last Saturday
and came out playing tough.
The two teams matched baskets until LCC turned a 13-
12 lead into a 24-18 lead with
8:13 remaining in the half.
PC coach Mike Clayton
then sent in newcomer Jon
Judd, who hit six quick
points to keep the Pirates
alive. Dave Porter then sank
two more, and Peninsula tied
the contest 28-28 with 5:58
remaining.
Neither team could manage a field goal for the next
three minutes until Pirate
guard Kevin Backlund hit a
baseline jumper to give PC a
31-30 lead.
The lead changed hands
several times in the last two
minutes and Peninsula began
working for the last shot
with 41 seconds left in the
half. The Pirates could not
get the shot off after a
traveling violation, and
Lower Columbia’s 6-8 center
Brock Lethbridge scored inside to give the Red Devils a
40-38 halftime lead. .
Both teams came out
shooting in the second half
and the game was still up for
grabs. After Mike Madison
hit a three point play for PC
to tie the game at 46-all, the
Red Devils began to edge
ahead.
Clayton then used another
time out and his Pirates came
back to take a 54-53 lead
with 11:58 remaining in the
game. This one point lead
was quickly obliviated as the
Red Devils took advantage
of Pirate turnovers and ran
up a nine point lead with 5:52
remaining.
Led by Jamie Stewart, the
Pirates hustled on defense,
getting rebounds and causing
turnovers, but simply
couldn’t get the ball in the
hoop. LCC’s Bill Dunlap
then hit three in a row to kill
any hopes of a comeback.
Lower Columbia kept it
going and went on to the 87-
71 league victory.
The difference in the game
was PC turnovers as they had
a total of 23, most of which
came in the late going. The
Pirates also shot poorly from
the field, hitting only 25 of
65 for 38 per cent.
Lower Columbia shot 32
of 66 for 48 per cent from the
field, and both teams sank 68
per cent of their free throws.
The Pirates, led by
Madison, Porter and
Stewart, pulled down 43 total
rebounds, compared with
Lower Columbia’s 31.
Madison led Peninsula in
the scoring department with
15’total points. Judd put
down 14 while Kris Ballew
and Backlund each had nine.
Bill Dunlap led all scorers
with 24 for the Red Devils.
Ron Palmer added 18, Jon
Kaino 16 and Lethbridge 15
to account for the scoring.
The Pirates were playing
without starting guard Scott
Wheeler, who broke his wrist
in the game against Olympic Peninsula travels to Mt.
Hood Community College tonight, with everything to
gain and nothing to lose.
Basketball big in Winter IM’s
The winter quarter intramural program began this
week with basketball,
bowling, badminton and
backgammon competition
being played.
Registration for any of
these sports is still open for
students who want to get into
the competition.
Basketball, one of the
more popular of the IM
sports, is played Monday,
Wednesday and Friday in the
gym at noon. The teams consist of 10 players, five playing at a time, and follows
standard basketball rules.
Bowling matches are held
at Laurel Lanes and paid for
by the IM department. The
times are set up by the participants.
Badminton play is held
Tuesdays and Thursdays in
the gym. There will be tournaments in singles, doubles
and mixed doubles.
Backgammon competition
is a new addition to the IM
program, with play times to
be arranged by the participants.
How do you explain a losing season?
By RICK ROSS
This year has been like every other year. Before basketball begins here at Peninsula everyone is making their
predictions and talking about a big winning season. Why
not? It’s all part of what makes varsity basketball the
biggest sport in most community colleges.
A problem does arise, however, when these expectations and hopes begin to fade. People like to point
fingers and talk about who or what is accounting for a
losing season.
After last Saturday’s game against Lower Columbia
these accusations are growing. Maybe it’s time to try and
figure out what really is the problem. Or if there is one.
The Coastal Division of community college basketball is
appearing to be one of the toughest in the state. Small
college basketball is growing and the competition is
getting better every year.
“Some of these schools are recruiting from nearly all
over the country,” said Pirate head coach Mike Clayton.
He added that they are bigger and quicker this season
too.
Another problem that has been haunting the Pirates
lately is the flu bug that has been going around. When
some of your top players cannot physically play up to their
ability you’re going to lose a few ball games, often in the
late going when fatigue is a factor.
Peninsula lacks a little in the leadership department
this season. According to Clayton, when it gets down to
the wire in a close ball game, none of the players are
willing to take charge and go get the win. He said they
wait around for someone else to do it and consequently it
doesn’t get done.
Overall, the Pirates do have a lot of talent and play a
good disciplined game of basketball. They have been in
nearly every ball game this season and could potentially
upset anyone.
Some of Clayton’s better players are not really playing
up to his expectations as yet, but the team has progressed
through the season and is running good team ball on both
offense and defense. –
With 13 games remaining in the season the Pirates have
lots of time to work out any kinks and find a few wins.
“We’re going to try and be a spoiler now,” said Clayton.
Maybe PC will knock off an over-confident club or two.
There is still a long way to go and who’s to say what might
happen.
Pirate Pete’s Pal
‘Wheels’ is out for remaining play
By RACHEL LEWIS
Scott Wheeler will be out
of action for the next three
weeks. He was starting guard
for the Peninsula College
basketball team, but was
recently injured. During the
Jan. 10 game he hit the gym
wall while out of control and
broke his wrist.
Scott says the injury is
“quite a disappointment,”
and made him realize just
how short the season is. He
plans to help out at practice
and games as much as possible but says, ‘‘It will be difficult not being able to be on
the floor, playing.”
Scott is from Bellingham,
where he graduated from
Sehome High last year. He
has been playing basketball
since seventh grade and says
the sport is his only extra
time activity. He plays in the
offseason just for fun.
At present Scott is taking
general studies and hasn’t
decided on his major.
Scott feels the team has to
pull together, although it has
been slowed by sickness. He
is impressed by Coach Mike
Clayton’s knowledge of
basketball and his coaching
style.
Scott likes playing on this
team. “Everybody gets along
very well and really hustles in
practice,” he says.
For the next three weeks
Scott will be on the bench
counting the days until he
will be able to be out on the
court playing.
Student Standout
Camera catches reporter’s eye
By NANCY KILMER
Everyone knows Rick
Ross. You can find him,
strapped to his camera, at
any Peninsula College sports
event.
Besides being the Buccaneer’s sports editor and photographer, Rick does the
photography for the Peninsula College catalogue and
works part-time for the Daily
News as a photographer and
sports writer.
Rick first became interested in photography and
writing in junior high, and,
while in high school, attended a journalism convention
in San Francisco where he
interviewed one of the
Olympic swimmers. Rick was
also the sports editor for his
high school newspaper and
did the photography for his
school annual. After graduating from Port Angeles
High School in 1977, Rick
went to work for the Daily
News.
‘‘I hate being in a rut,”
says Rick. ‘‘In photography,
you’re constantly meeting
new people. You do something different every day.”
When asked what kinds of
“something different” he
got to do, Rick cited taking
aerial photographs of forest
fires, taking pictures from
the Coast Guard helicopter
(“It’s kind of fun hanging out
of a helicopter taking
pictures”) and, “the thrill of
my lifetime”, covering two
Seahawks games with Scooter Chapman of the Daily
News.
Rick says that his photography isn’t a hobby, but
sports are, especially
basketball. In his spare time,
he plays on a City League
basketball team, for Angeles
Concrete, and he serves on
the college intramural board.
“I do spend a little time
doing school work, too,”
says Rick.
Cathy Logg, Buccaneer
editor, said, “Rick is really
my ‘right arm.’ He is an
extremely capable and
talented photographer, and
is totally reliable. I know if I
give him an assingment or a
whole list of them that he’ll
always come through and his
work will be imaginative.
That’s important in the
newspaper field. I have a
great deal of respect and admiration for him.”
After graduating from
Peninsula, Rick says he’d like
to transfer to Western Washington University where he
would major in the field of
communications. Eventually, he would like to work
on a major newspaper.
Maintenance busy on campus
By SANDIE DAVIS
Peninsula College is a
lucky school to have a
group of such devoted men
working to keep it up to
par.
An often unrecognized
team, they keep themselves
preoccupied with ‘ ‘busy
work” around campus.
These are the maintenance men of Peninsula
College. There are 10 permanent people on the staff,
plus 14 to 16 high school
seniors who are involved in
an in-school work experience program.
Supervisor Dick Lorentzen, who has been at PC
for nine years, says the goal
is to form three divisions:
building, custodial and
grounds maintenance. Business Manager Frank Thayer has direct responsibility
for the maintenance department, and will overlook the
organization of the three
divisions.
Their main functions
include: keeping up the
plants and grounds, new
construction and remodeling jobs, new landscaping,
and maintenance of school
vehicles. They are also
responsible for all the incoming and outgoing mail,
which goes through the
shipping and receiving
building.
Present projects include building a motorcycle
shed in the parking lot and
near the dorms, and planning a backboard for the
tennis courts.
Mr. Lorentzen says
through combined efforts
everything gets done in a
fairly smooth way. Says he:
‘‘We have a fine division,
all thoroughly equipped to
do their jobs. We’re proud
of our crew and what they
get done.”
Questioned about the
rapport among the men,
maintenance mechanic Bob
Johnson says “we have an
unusually harmonious
crew.” Mr. Johnson has
been at PC for five and a
half years and says he
enjoys his work most because it’s not monotonous.
Tim Taff does most of
the carpentry work on
campus. He moved from
Wisconsin about two and a
half years ago, prompted
by his mother-in-law who
had moved east. Tim is
presently working on the
motorcycle sheds and the
installation of a window in
the administration building.
Jim Cahill and Jack
Stewart take care of the
landscaping. Mr. Cahill has
only i been at PC for a
month, and was in charge
of clearing the walkways
when it snowed. He said he
likesj to ski but when the
snow gets this far down the
mountains ‘‘it’s a lot of
work,. ’ ’
Mr. Stewart fertilizes
and waters the campus
lawn’s and maintains the
walkways.
Clay Crumley can be
found buzzing around campus!in the electric delivery
cart called the “Otis”. But
the -Otis is temporarily out
of order, and Mr. Crumley
is realizing how difficult it
is to do without it. He also
handles the work study
program with high school
students and feels it’s a
gr6at program as long as
th£ kids are serious about it
aqd show up for work. Mr.
Crumley summed up his
years at PC by saying,
“You couldn’t find a greater bunch of people to get
along with—including the
kids.”
’ Dave Shoemaker is doii?g double time at Peninsula College, as he is
working half time and
going to school half time.
He was previously fully
employed by the maintenance department but he
w’jent part time to partake in
PC’s business program.
Mike Maines is a full
time temporary or peak
load person. His primary
responsibility is maintaining the dorm area. Through
his contact with the dormies he has acquired the
nickname “spaceman”.
Al “Pete” Rhoads and
Pat Campbell are on the
night shift. Pete maintains
the business office, and
library and campus security. He is the night lead
person who, he says, “has
no one to lead.”
Mr. Campbell is a new
custodian who works in the
student center and other
varied areas. He has a
grueling shift from 6 p.m.

Musical to open Mar. 8
The music theater class is
getting cast, props, makeup
and acts together as its third
annual musical production,
Stop the World”, nears its
opening night March 8.
’ Pat Williams has the leading role in the performance
as Little Chad, a clown who
seeks for happiness all his life
and finally concludes the
simple things make it all
worthwhile. The stagecraft
class is covering the technical
parts, the costumes have
already been designed,
makeup is “set”, and the
class is now working on
special lighting.
The show will demand
more in the players, in that
the story relies heavily on the
mime of the actors,” says
director Bonnie Graves.
The setting of the show is a
circus, where all the characters are clowns. Music and
lyrics are by Bricusse and
Newley. “It promises to be
colorful, humorous and
lovely,” Mrs. Graves said.
For the first time Mrs.
Graves will be using an assistant director, Scott Guggenmos. So far the cast includes
Paul Williams, Kathy Good,
Vicki Hall, Jeanne Rogers,
Tamara Fontana, Jim Harris
and Scott Guggenmos. The
chorus is Melissa Trivich,
Sandy Fangen, Vicki Mullins, Vicki Hall, Kathy
Byrne, Jaymie Andersen and
Jeanne Rogers.
