ONE ACT: THE OPEN WINDOW The Open Window was the one-act play chosen this year by director Linda Rosenbauer. Set in modern times in the English countryside, the story revolved around the efforts of Vera Sappleton, played by Ann Balczewski, to create a favorable, yet misleading impression on a nervous student, Frampton Nuttel, portrayed by Jim Glick, who needed some peace and quiet to restore his peace of mind. Coupled with the eccentricity of Mrs. Sappleton, played by Jo Dessl, who didn't know what her young niece Vera was up to, and the part played by Terri Hecimovich as the typical English maid, put poor Mr. Nuttel's nerves in worse shape than before. On October 27, the play received an A-rating at Sub-District from a panel of three judges. Moving on to District Con- test in Ashland on November 10, however, the play came back with a B- rating and so could not move into further competition. One Act Play Members: (L-R) Terri Hecimovich. Jim Glick. Ann Balczewski. Miss Rosenbauer. VERA: I suppose it's some neighbors. MRS. SAPPLETON: I doubt that, Vera. After all, it is time your uncle and cousin were coming home. MARIA: It does look like Mr. Sappleton and young Master Sappleton and the dog, but sure, ma'am, I can't see - what with the mist and the evening coming on so ghostly. MRS. SAPPLETON: Bring two more cups. They'll want tea. FRAMPTON: You think . . . (hesitates) ... it might be your husband and son? MRS. SAPPLETON: Certainly. I've been waiting for them a long time. FRAMPTON: Your niece explained . . . (pauses) ... all about it. 25 Vera Sappleton. played by Ann Balczewski (left) asks Frampton Nuttel (Jim Glick) to stay for tea at her aunt's house.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC CONCERT CHOIR A new teacher, new faces, and a very young choir proved to be an ex- perience as the Lincoln High School Concert Choir worked during 1973-74 school year. The choir, under the direction of Miss Linda Rosenbauer, faced inex- perience because so many seniors had graduated the previous year. Each section was hit hard, especially the two men's sections and it wasn't easy at first to get five tenors to sound as full as the bass section who had older, more mature voices. The Eyes of All , Sacrum Con- vivium , selections from My Fair Lady , and Showboat were all part of the choir's varied repertoire throughout the year, and everyone worked hard to make them sound professional. Christmas came and at the combined Band Choir Concert, the choir rendered forth the beautiful and most fitting, Messiah Oratorio by Handel. When the audience stood up as is customary at the beginning of the Hallelujah Chorus , the choir felt especially proud to have made the holiday season so special. After semester break, the choir started working on music for the district music festival and sent many members with solos, duets, triple trios, and quartets to represent Lincoln High. It was a lot of hard work, sweat, and frustration, but it was worth it. By the end of the year, the choir had accomplished much. They were singing more difficult music, learning balance and tone quality, and most important of all, how to work together as a unit. (Back) Donna Hilgart. Shirley Weinberger. Nancy Weinberger.
