All-Female Cast Performs Vivid Drama Featuring an all-female cast, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the- Moon Marigolds proved to be an elec- trifying drama. As tfie curtains opened, the audience found Tillie, played by sophomore Sarah Stewart, planting marigold seeds which have been exposed to gamma rays. She enters the plants in the school science fair. Tillie ' s mother, Beatrice, portrayed by senior Kay Freygang, must return to her old school where years before they had ridiculed her. Beatrice is plagued by an old woman, sophomore Julie Ross as Nanny, whom she cares for, and by a daughter with serious mental problems, sophomore Melissa Hunter as Ruth. Though Janice Vickery, played by sophomore Anne Watters, gives Tillie some competition, Tillie wins the sci- ence fair with her marigolds. The play centers around Tillie, who must cope with her surroundings. As the drama progresses, it shows Tillie slowly slipping into a fantasy world. Art students and other volunteers gave their time to make signs for pub- licity, arrange the set, and work the lights. Co-directing for the first time, Mr. Don Goss and Mrs. Dinah Cashmon sponsored the production. Elnhurst

Countless Elmhurst students learned business methods in Jun- ior Achievement by making and selling their own products. Several students found creative experience in outside drama, art and music groups. Besides just during school, on weekends, Christmas, spring and summer vacations kids traveled to other parts of the state, country, or even around the world. Junior Penny Ress spent her summer picking olives in Israel and senior Evan Davies pursued his photography interests by winning a trip to Africa for the sum- mer. The interests of the Elmhurst students are widely varied, each striving for his own personal walk of life. Like many other Elmhurst students involved in J.A., sophomore Gay Lester, a friend and sophomores Jonny Nash and Selma Vaughn wait for a customer. Placing first in thi archery contest.
