Last minute instructions are given by di- rector, Fred Nickless, to Sam Tsoutsanis and Dave Crane. THE REMARKABLE INCIDENT AT CARSON CORNERS On Friday evening, April 6, 1956, the curtain rose on a tense dra- ma of mystery and suspense. The play was a dramatic story of a trial put on by the students of Carson Corners High School who were at- tempting to convict the school janitor of negligence, which resulted in the death of one of their classmates, Bill McGinnis. The audience was held in suspense from the moment the curtain rose till the final dramatic and unexpected ending. Behind the scenes, stage managers Marie Barrier and Susan Cole were all set to cue, while Kay Brown, in charge of props, was setting up die very effective flash backs. The stage crew, under Don Towle ' s direction, and the wardrobe committee directed by Agnes Burgess, bodi did commendable jobs. Thanks to Anne Guenet, publicity di- rector, the auditorium was filled to capacity. Sheila Emslie, with the help of members of the Manchester Players, did a most remarka- ble job of transforming Story students into citizens of Carson Comers. The cast and crew did a terrific job and special thanks and con- gratulations are due Mr. Fred Nickless, the very capable and hard- working director.
