Kismet was a large success, the audience responded with standing ovations all three nights and double curtain calls on the last two nights. lt was not o huge financial success however, with approximately nine hundred dollars spent on production costs, rental fees, and royalties. Ticket sales brought in one thousand dollars. The excellent costumes and the scenery were all hand made or improvised, with no rentalslnecessary. The director, Mr. Stringer is impressed with the talent at Friendly and how seriously many students approach production work. He is also pleased with the growth in theatre that is taking place at Friendly and is expecting to be able to delve into even more areas of drama next year. Many talented seniors who are graduating will be missed. Special thanks must be given to Wayne Swick, the lighting technician, and all the improvements he has made to the lighting system at Friendly. There are however, many talented underclassmen moving up the ladder for future productions. Jim Rouen admires a member of the harem. ooooooooo 237

In the play, it is senior-day which meant that the seniors took the teachers' places and had control of the school for the day. Naturally, everything falls apart, creating a humorous atmosphere. lt's funny to watch someone else fall apart so long as it isn't you. lt's funnier still to watch seniors, your friends, on a stage pretending to be someone else. The play was completely senior-cast and senior-directed. lt wasn't completely professional, but then it wasn't intended to be. lt was intended to be fun for the audience and those involved - and it was.

Because of dissention among members, non-members, teachers and administrators, however, only the spring induction was held. Controversy concerned the purpose and function of and the qualifications needed for admission. The strongest debates were on the selection process.
