This being accomplished, we ioined The poeTry-in unison, we chanfed Psalms and gayly read delighfful phrases of James, James, Morrison. Morrison or Annie. We may recall Those delighTful evenings spenT aT Sfudio Formals, where, while sipping punch, we experienced The ioy and Thrill of waTching fellow classmafes perform before our very eyes in plays which members of The Play Producfion class had sfaged and coached.
