The format of the play was a murder trial, the entire audience and play- ers part of the courtroom. At the beginning of the play, the clerk KCharles Shuman! called 12 members of the audience to be the jury. The defendant was played by Becky Van Buren whose attorney was Brenda Brooks. They were so convincing that the verdict was nNot guilty.n A commend- able performance was also given by David Zimmerman from Penn Charter as the district attor- ney. ' A professional note was given by the testimony of Rebecca Bass as Dr: Kirkland, the exa- mining physician. Marianna Perkins was the lady judge.The handwriting expert was played b Beth Toness y .

Dear Editor, Tap Tap...taptaptaptap RAP TAP TAP... Study halls have become a bore. All one can do these days is sit listening to the typewriter because the din it creates prevents any kind of constructive work. Students, especially the sen- iors, have been criticized for speaking to each other aloud Review "The Nigh had been segretary to the mur- der victim. Also, Alex Randall CPenn Charterlawakened part of the audience when he came down the aisle making a dramatic en- trance during the proceedings. Alex played Larry Regan, a gangster whose love for the de- fendant KBeckyD was not return- ed. Sally Threshen who was the widow of the deceased,did very well and reacted most appropri- ately to the action on the stage. Chris HykCPenn Char- ter! made a very distinguished Mr. Whitfield fSally's fatherl. The most outstanding and mem- orable performances were ren- dered by Missy Shuman CMagda Svenson and Suzy Rashkis IRO- berta von,Renssalaer1. Magda was the Swedish housekee per who served the deceased CBjorn Faulk- nerl. Roberta was the widow of Lefty O'Toole whose body was in volved in the murder of Bjorn. The set, constructed by mem- bers of the Art Society fJacki Slack and Holly Thresherl cer- tainly created the desired courtroom atmosphere. Each player provided his own costume.

Flying High in the Big Top It seemed incredible. I actually felt like a bird floating through heaven. A bird that was never satis- fied with what it had, and just kept reaching out for more. At that moment I felt my stomach sink and my body decline. The goal I was trying to reach was too far, thus causing me to fall. The moment I landed on what seemed a thin eerie web I envisioned glass stars glowing, against white and pink cottonballs of fluff. All at once I found myself rest- ing upon gold mattresses with multitudes of pillows flashing exotic colors in every direction. I could comprehend future and past in my eyes, it seemed. I saw what I had been and what I wanted even more. Then as if night had turned to day the pink and white disappeared. The stars let out their last effort- less gleam, and past and future seemed to vanish in- stantly as if they had never existed. Yes, the goal I .had wanted so badly I conquered. The past was new gone and now was the time to think of present and future. Barbara Bretl '72 El8Cti0I1 RBSUITS Class of 1970 Pres.-W. Zurn V.P.-B. Rech Sec.-A. Murphy Treas.-R.

He had lived with the same family since he was four weeks old. They had five kids, but he had lived through the holding -up-by-the-tail, maul- ing, whisker-cutting stage and was quite wise. He had built up a wonderful tolerance and now he didn't need it. nI'm gettin' soft with no little kids around," he thought. Then came the puppy. Cat and the old dog had been great friends. Puppy was small and tail-waggy so Cat made the huge mistake of making friends. Puppy became Dog, and his exu- berance grew in proportion to himself lwhich was a lgt big- ger than Catl. when Dog got all settled down, what do you know but a new baby arrives. Of course Bady adores Cat, and back comes faithful tolerance. NKeeps me on my toes.U remarked Cat. nPeople? Sure I like'em!n he sounded indignant, as if that's what he had said first.

Arrival was at 6:15. More than half of the expected sixteen were then present, plus two of the three leaders. Dinner was a masterful concoction of cream- ed tuna fish over saltines.fhere is nothing worse than nwork camp foodn as was soon discover- ed. After all had finished, in- troductions were made around-the table. It was discovered that there were four boys from Epis- copal Academy, a mother and daugher from Newtown, a fresh- man in nursing school, a col- lege student, two high school students from neighboring Springfield High and Down- ington High, one graduate student, and three from West Orange, New Jersey, including a member of the' Holder generationn and a Vista Volunteer. Later that evening, a dis- cussion was held on the Poor Peoples' Campaign, which was lead by a Phila. member of the SCLC. Saturday morning the group left to go to the work area. Two girls were sent off to help a retired teacher, the remaining girls worked in the Mantua City Planners Headquarters doing 'much needed filing work, while 'the boys went a block away to help fix up a corner lot into a neighborhood play area. It was generally thought that . painting would be the main'line of work, but it wasfgxplained. that workcampers now took on projects that would be more benefiting to the community as a whole. After work and a friendly tussle with the kids, the group headed back to the church in which they slept and ate., After dinner, there was another informal group discus- sion on any desired topic. the pre- Sunday's This was followed by paration of parts of meals.

All those who listened with sympathy to our problems and offer- ed constructive suggestions towards the improvement of the school. . . . And most important, those who trusted us with the education of their children. It is this trust which renews our spirit! 1--. -:Q eq , My own recent reading underlines once again that formal education per se is no guarantee of the progress of man. Brought to my attention from the February issue of the "Bul- letin of the Atomic Scientist," Lady Violet Astor is quoted as saying: "It's a curious paradox that while the miracles of conjuring tricks of science are gaining these daily, al- most hourly victories-conquering the skies, bridging the seas, broad- casting knowledge, defeating pain, almost defeating death-we men have not become any more virtuous or any more civilized than we were before. In fact, during my lifetime I should say that civilization has reeled back- wards. If in my childhood or youth I 'd been told that I should live t.o see things like concentration camps, tor- ture chambers, forced confessions, gas ovens, I should have dismissed them as a nightmare from which I would soon wake up. I'm often re- minded of a story I heard . . . Caboutj Sir Benegal Rau.

NVhile reading lists are available and perhaps ev en specific suggestions are given to our children about what might be suita.ble and interesting, vie tend to shut' out from our busy vacations time for refiective read ing. The following observation in a recent publication of the National Council of Teachers of English mu be pertinent in this regard. "As the young come to constitute a larger portion of society, there IS an accent on youth and a resultant lackeof perspective about life and traditional values. Literature suf fers in such a world, even as it comes to have more relevance. "The young in our time are h t led into activities and states of mind appropriate for aims other than their owng they lack the immersion in leisure and the opportunity for spontaneous impulse characteristic of earlier experiences, to distance them and compare them.
