Eugene Bumgardner, the school's chorus teacher, is the mu- sical director. Wells and Bumgardner have been working together for the past four years to bring plays such as "Oklahoma" to the stage of Barnes ‘| Auditorium. Their first endeavor 'The King And I slated at KMHS was "The Music Man" in 1989 and "My Fair Lady" followed in 1990. The cast consists of 60 students and 15 children. Wells says the stage is spectacular, accentuated by oriental items donated by families and friends of the cast. The drama department has worked hard to make the set look authentic. "The King and I" takes place in Bangkok, Siam, present-day Thailand, at the turn of the century.

Joyce, who has more than 18 years experience as a financial aid _ professional, can help families through the maze of financial aid forms, student assistance programs and application deadlines.
