May 5, 1967 Parades, signs publicize play throughout city PUTTING the final touches on a bush which will appear in “Camelot” are juniors Jodi Cornwell (back to camera) and Don Sorber, and senior Colleen Harnet. Artistic backdrops, work win recognition, praise by Marilyn Leonard The art department has had one of the biggest jobs in the presentation of “Camelot,” pro duction of the scenery, and also all the advertising posters and banners. Handbills, tickets, scen ery, billboards, posters, the program cover, and the ban ner in center hall were all handed to the art staff, un der the direction of Mahlon Read, to complete in time for opening night and, in some cases, sooner than that. Breaking down some of these jobs, finds Georgina Smith in charge of ticket and handbill de signs. The handbills, which are about 5” x 6”, give the time and place for “Camelot.” The tickets show a road leading up to the castle of King Arthur. These will be a different color for each night. According to art staff mem ber Nancy Kerron, the billboards were the hardest and “largest” project yet! “Lots of worrying went into those billboards. We had to do them in an old chemistry room because they were so big. These will appear in the parade,” com mented Nancy. The program cover is being designed by Reed Literski and Denis Tabor is handling the ban ner for center hall. Mrs. Betty Foster’s stage arts class is painting the back drops and Miss Katherine Cameron’s art classes have completed her aldry flags which will appear in center hall.
