as ‘school-wide’ production,” stated
“Sl^ High” presents New York
City in planning the construction
of a 140-story monument to the
genius of man! From city officials
to taxi drivers, this entire city is
gloriously mad over the project.
That is everyone except Frank
lin Russell, a mild mannered li
brarian, who just happens to own
the land where the building is to
be constructed. When Franklin
refuses to sell, New York is
thrown into bedlam: The Mayor’s
Planning Committee under Ro
berta Moses, the City L^al De
partment under Bea Collins, and
the architect, Bob Winters, are
determined to continue their gi
gantic plans. It is riotous trouble
for Franklin until his own secret
dream comes true and solves
everyone’s problems.
Members of the Senior and Jun
ior Classes have assisted in the
sale of tickets; the home econom
ics department, costumes; and

signed stage sets have been con

all students in Albemarle Senior

entertainment.”
