Ready on stage! No, no, Tm not allowed to call any student to the phone. And so began What A Life! presented by the Senior Class of 1944. From the start of the play the audience was in a state of continuous laughter. The text of Clifford Goldsmith's comedy, What A Life! is so typical of our daily school routine that it struck a familiar note in the minds of the students, the parents, and the teachers. The men behind the gun, the stage crew, the electricians, and the property com- mittee, were the main factors in producing the set. As a background to the unforgettable performance of What A Life! on April l, there were several weeks of memorizing lines and stage positions under the excellent coaching of Miss Grace W. Ellsworth. , A first date, a misunderstood love affair, stolen band instruments, and trips to the principals office all work themselves into an uproarious comedy and an exciting conclusion. Positions! Curtain Call! Applause! The echo of the din remains in our ears. We'll remember Wliat A Lifell' . won'r you? . 43
