They are going to see the Borelians Com- munity Theatre's latest play, Harvey. Who is Harvey? Who or What are Borelians? These are the questions going through my mind. Well the doors are just about to close, I'd better run. The play just finished and it was great. It's about this man Elwood P. Dowd. He sees a 6' 1 1/2" tall rabbit, his family thinks he's crazy. I'd just like to thank very much the people who help make this excellent play. On Nov. 9, Mrs. Van Camp came in and taught us how to make sock puppets. Then unex- pectedly we had to put on a short play. They all turned out great. We had a whole variety of puppets from people to ani- mals, and all different plays. It Just proves that when you use your imagination, it can get very exciting.
