After several months of ,|r«aUy hard work the seniors were .rewarded with an almost full jhoase composed of mothers, dads, ilttle sisters and babies. Most Jpeople coming to see the one night •tand of a class play don't realize the genuine elbow grease that is 'pot into every one of these profictions. They don't know how tang a character may slave over ffbe line that isn't coming right. They don't know how hard it Ss to keep up with your school work While practicing every night the play. The answer to this idem, of course is simply to let r school work go. The murder ne could easily have made the udienct laugh instead of sit in Intense anxiety waiting for La Seta Crowley to ^strangle Jeri nspar, the leading lady. This Uone took many nights of gruelpractice. Man the times that Mr. Jones has been ready to call Jthe whole thing off. But everything turned out so well I'm sure changed his mind. f The production staff put in Menty of overtime also. These Jkings aren't ever on the program, tat without the back stage crew a production like "Cukoos on the Hearth" could never fiave been jfeaged. It didn't tell on the prom that Bill Miller, Bill Weber Will Malsch were there alityost every night painting scenery, Arranging lights, and rearranging furniture. V. How many knew that after the fiest of the cast had gone on to a tarty, Bill Miller was still refOrnlng furniture to its owners? many people knew that Nancy "lemon, who faithfully attended earsel as prompter, got sick at last moment and couldn't even the play. Fortunately, her tant, Rita Bolger was able to e over. The costume committee beaded by Eva Unti also had a lot m their ha»<« digging up authenc regalia for the characters. The | . Hake-up committee didn't have too $asy a time getting beards and ipustaches on Hup Kennebeck, ?°»> Doerrfeld, and Jim Green. All these things and all these .people go into giving a play for^ J^ne night Without the terrific fetnount of cooperation that 1 #enior class exhibited and the patience with which the faculty •egarrftd all the rantings and ravings prior to the staging, this play how Broadway theatres do it {They've got more moneyXI think.) A poll was taken in one of the i classes at school. You who saw the play may be interested to see, who in the students point of view were outstanding. These were the top six. 1. Jim Green who played the part of Zodoc Grimes, eccentric writer; 2. Sally King, who played Abby and spoke the prologue and Mary Kay Freund, hula dancing Lulu Pung, bird brained housekeeper; 3 Bob Doerrfeld, escaped inmate of sanitarium who posed as the sheriff; 4 La Nieta Crowley, lady strangler who could easily crush a Valnut between thumb and index fingers; 5 Richard Thomas, Brooklyn tough guy; 6 Marilyn Freund, Beulah telephone repairman's wife, out fixing lines in a biilzard, because of her husband's broken leg.
