Article From Yearbook: During the months of January and February, students of Greeley West and Greeley Central combined their talents to produce “Finian’s Rainbow.” The play was double cast with a group representing each school. In addition to the students in performing roles were those in the combined West-Central orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Alan McKin. Along with the actors and various crews, they made the play an effort entailing more than 150 people. Aiding the actors and actresses in their performances was Dr. Richard Simon who directed the chorus, which was praised as being the best in the history of the combined musicals. Mrs. Virginia Wells was in charge of the crews, who turned out the different sets and lighting effects. “Finian’s Rainbow” fared well in the attendance department. The audience for the four performances broke attendance records set by “Hip Hippie Hooray,” and one night more than 50 people had to be turned away. Breaking away from the traditional three-act play format which had been used so long at West, the final production of the year consisted of two one-act plays, May 14-15. The first performance of the evening, “The Storm,” even departed further from tradition because it was a mystery-drama, in contrast to the usual light comedy which has been so prevalent in the past. Members of the cast were experienced actors, with all being in at least two previous presentations. The second play of the night was “Sunday Costs Five Pesos.” The setting for the farcical comedy was a plaza in Mexico. The cast was not quite as experienced as the other, but all had considerable enthusiasm for their roles which more than compensated for it.
