Staircase Dramatizes School Life Directed by Mr. John McSorley and student di- rector Patti Favorite, this year ' s all school produc- tion Up the Down Stair- case gave the audience an evening full of surpris- ing and unexpected com- edy. From the moment the new teacher was greeted with Hi Teach from the wild students and throughout the rest of the play students, teach- ers and parents learned something important about each other. As one critic suggested, It was the kind of funny that hurts. October marked the be- ginning of the long hard hours that faced student dramatists. While the cast practiced the stage crew was busy making props for the performances held Nov. 4, 5, and 6.
