V.. ai W If f 2 ,Page 2 The Abington friend f June, 1968 I K HERE COMES THE JUDGE:m Despite the untimely rain that drenched the May Day act- ivities, there was a sizable audience present for the even- ing presentation of the Drama- tic Club play. 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 . High points of action were provided by Whitey Iebing CTemple U.J, the Swedish ex- convict CSigurd Jungquistl who Don't forget Commencement 'June 12, 1965. 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.

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.

Sure, I'll tolerate'em, They' re nice sometimes when it come to patting, but the way some people maul me you'd think I was a fur ball!n The old cat was resting, but ready to beat a hasty retreat if anything came up. 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.
