Lights, Camera, Action

Dr. Joseph Murray directed the day to day operation of the Troupe.  Dr. Kramer assisted as much as possible in directing the Troupe, despite his duties as Acting Dean of the College of Physical Education, Recreation, and Health. Robert Nelligan also assisted. 

The Home Show theme was "Lights, Camera, Action".  Building on the more burlesque type atmosphere of the Home Show of the previous year (“Circus Spectacular”) and reminiscent of the early years of Gymkana, the show included live music at times and  comedy skits. The show was a success and it seemed that the year would end on an upbeat note. This did not turn out to be the case. Dr. Murray was informed that he would not receive tenure. It appeared that he would not be returning to the University the next year.
