UDENT PLAY Yes, the curtain rose on the hectic life of an lfnglish teacher, Xliss Brooks, who though already deep in extra-curricular activities, found herself faced with producing the school play hy grace of the principal, Nlr. V adsworth. She and the very marriageahle Hugo Longacre, the haskethall coach, ran into difficulties when they found they must hoth share the use of hoth the gymnasium and the top haskethall star, Ted Wilder. Other complications were introduced hy Nlrs. Allen, president of the school hoard, whose daughter Rhonda failed to receive the feminine lead, hy the excitahle Xlr. Wadsworth, and hy Nliss Auduhon, the I11Ll5lC teacher who found her dramatic amhitions thwarted hy Nliss Brooks. The audience, which consisted of hoth adults and students, entered into the spirit of the play with enthusiasm. An audihle hiss was heard from different places in the auditorium when the conceited Rhonda walked on the stage. When the irate Mr. Wladsworth and Nlrs, Allen found themselves literally 'Asnoweal under ' hy Miss Brooks' homemade stage effects, the audience clapped several minutes hefore the play could continue. A definite sigh of relief rippled through the rows of seats when the coach offered his services to the play in place of the sick Martin. Doing a fine ioh hetween acts, after only three rehearsals, was the orchestra, under the leadership of Nlr. Edward Gttum. Though the stage crew, under the direction of Mr. Clyde Burmaster, was neither seen nor heard, the stage setting and disappearance of the soap-flake snow which littered the stage setting during the second act was proof enough of their hard Work. Altogether director, actor, stage crew, and the orchestra hrought the student hody a play which will he rememhered many years from now. 1.41 ,w -Q

Now Marilyn, don't mouth your words! Where is Miss Brooks? Bill, that's your cue. Familiar sounds? Yes, to those who took part in Our Miss Brooks, Student Body Play, which was presented in the Queen Anne auditorium on November 21 and 22. At rehearsals, to the casual onlooker, the stage was cluttered with scenery flats, stage props, ladder, stage hands, and assorted pieces of furniture. To the experienced trouper, however, each flat represented some part of the necessary scenery and each prop, ladder, and piece of furniture was serving a purpose as the play went through rehearsal, night after night. On stage the actors went through their lines, often forgetting parts, a helpful word from the prompter, and once again they would launch into the familiar lines which had been studied feverishly, night after night. Often a word of criticism was thrust at the actors by Mrs. Bernice Duncan, director, who sat out in the empty auditorium listening with critical ear to all that was said and watching with critical eye all action that took place.

in ,Q- 1' WE? Mrs B J. Duncan Helen Barbas Bill Kinzel Marilyn lsenhath Bill Hartley Mary Lou Swanagon Pele Shoudy Katie Babunes Jenny Anne Church Sally Wood D Varied, colorful, and pleasingly different from previous years was the description given this year's production of Kapers, Channel '53, presented in the Queen Anne auditorium March 6 and 7. Adding special interest were the novel TV programs, edited by artist Sally Wood. The TV production included the combined efforts of Helen Barbas and Bill Kinzel, Senior directors, Marilyn Isenhath and Bill Hartley, Junior directors, Mrs, B. Duncan, faculty director, Mrs. Edward Ottum, organist, and a staff and cast of over 300 people. From commercials to programs, the show carried out its television theme to success. TV cameras, made by Ernest Jenner, Ken Tuttle, and Leroy Calbom, were stationed on either side of the auditorium to aid the broadcast of Channel '53. The twelve acts moved along quite smoothly, there were fewer tap acts than in previous years and the result was a more varied and balanced program. Among the most original talent offered was a Scottish sword dance by Barbara Allen, with Tom Allen accompanying on the bagpipes. The very effective lighting also contributed to the success of the show. The two most stunning dance arrangements were Marilyn Woodward's Waltz Time and Elizabeth Strandberg, jerry Lonn, and Janet McClane's dance school commercial. Both featured beautiful dresses and dreamy waltz steps. The commercials, given in true TV style between each act, ogered those behind the scenes a chance to move scenery and move the show along at a seemingly faster rate. Rating tops among the commercials were Chorophyll Highlights and Guillotine Razor Blades, which were quite cleverly done. Glynn Prit- chard's unassuming air and nonchalance gave punch to the ordinary dialogue. Also a hit was the Goon Dance, amusingly done by Carol Oppie and Marilyn lsenhath. ex -x 1 algo One of the top acts in the dramatic line was the Klondike Mystery Theatre, directed by Doug Barnard and Sallie Wood. It consisted of a good reading of The Shooting of Dan McGrew, done by Bill Hartley, while the members of the act pantomimed a typical gold rush saloon scene including I bearded miners, a roller piano, a poker game, and a line of can-can girls.
