"Exciting, new, and different," describe this year's V‑Show, Stage West '68‑'69, according to faculty director Mr. Garth Boyer. The show will be held on November 14, 15, and 16 from 8 to 10:15 p.m. in the Maine West auditorium.

"We will have two acts this year, each with different themes," stated Lise Pahnke '69, student director. "The first act will have a showboat theme. The Maine West show band will also be on stage. The second act will have a contemporary setting like the variety shows on television. The orchestra will be on stage during this act."

The assistant choreographers for the V‑Show were selected the week after school started. They are Jan Barkell '71 and Gloria DeFranco '71.

Janie Leis '69, choreographer commented, "We have plans to do a Charleston and a Rockette number, but these are only tentative. This year, however, we will not have a boys' dance chorus."
