KING PATCH AND On the night of January the thirty-first, a Djinn was rescued by a court jester from a tree, in which he had been trapped for five hundred years. Thus begins the fantastical voyage of KING PATCH AND MISTER SIMPKINS, put on by Mister Shepherd and the boys of the Lower School. The casting, which was done early in the school year, was excellent, as could be seen by the superb way that each actor fit his part. Many hours were spent during lunch and after school working on scenes, and I am sure that Mister Shepherd’s patience held, as it always does. It is hard, after seeing such a fine performance, to give credit to only a select few of the total cast and stage crew, but special recognition must be given to Gary Jacob, as Patch, Frank Jakovic, as Mister Simpkins, Donald Guest as Lady Fenella, Chris Dornan, the Basilisk, Kurt Barkmann, as Sir Fenimore, and Graham Barrit, as Sir Battledore, must also be given extra praise. Many thanks must be directed to Mrs. Allen, for her beautiful costumes, Mrs. Ward for all the properties, Mr. Beare, for the time he spent on lighting, Mr. Cowie for the sound effects and to Mr. Bevis for the time he spent on sets. Mrs. Mauer, Mrs. Glegg, Mrs. Bevis, Mrs. Beare, and Mrs. Penaluna must be given praise for their efforts in making up the actors. Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Brown cannot be forgotten for their roles as house manager and secretary respectively. Next year Mr. Shepherd will be hard pressed to match this year’s performance—congratulations to all involved. (I v. W V v i! ■1 mi 1 76
