ODD CECEVDEICDCH DUO I HHH THE CENIAD CORPORATION Presents THE SENIORS fAn all star castl THE OPEN READ BEYOND fA serious drama? ACT I-SCENE I Time: February, June, 1927. Setting: Central School. Synopsis: The curtain rises on a small group of children, entering from stage left through a door over which is a sign marked with the word Freshmen In the midst of much confusion and yelling the curtain falls. ACT I-SCENE ir Time, September, 19273 June, 1928. Setting: East Lansing's new high school. Synopsis: The curtain rises this time on a somewhat larger group. They can outdo all the others in cheering at athletic games, and can hold their own scholastically. The curtain falls on them as they are jostling one another around and acting rather silly. ACT II-SCENE I Time: September, 19283 June, 1929. Setting: Same. Gay colors and light furnishings predominate. Synopsis: This time, as the curtain rises, the same group enters through a second door above which a brilliant sign is flashing on and off the word Sophomores. As the curtain falls, they are in the midst of a large party. ACT III-SCENE I Time: September, 19293 June, 1930. Setting: Same. Synopsis: As the curtain rises a group in the background can be seen busily at work with various occupations, while in the foreground a few characters stand out from the rest in earnest conversation. The curtain falls. ' ACT III-SCENE II Time: Same. Setting: Banquet Hall, with dance Hoor at one end and music and gay colors everywhere. Synopsis: As the curtain rises, a merry feast is in progress and our once large group of youngsters is seated around the banquet table, now as young men and women, fondly solemnizing the farewell to their older friends. The music becomes louder, the banquet scene seems to fade away and in its place is a beautiful formal party, the most beautiful of all J-Hops. Again, by changes of lighting effect, the scene is suddenly shifted, showing the group running out of the Juniors door, all of them squeezing through by A Lucky Break. The curtain falls. ACT IV-SCENE I Time: September, 1930: June, 1931. Setting: Same, also very busy, and filled with the atmosphere of work and brave attempts. Synopsis: As the curtain rises this time, the stage has assumed a dignified effect. One by one characters arrive, exchange greetings and immediately go about their various tasks. This goes on for quite some time until suddenly music is heard and they drop their tasks and hold a hard-times party in their working clothes. Then they all join in when The Whole Town's Talking and the audience becomes greatly amused. There follows a big Prom and then, after Commencement, they file out of the door marked Seniors at the right of the stage, and vanish into the blackness of the open road beyond. The curtain falls as groups stand in each of the other th1'ee doors waving goodby to the wayfarers. ' Page Fourteen
