The theme was mysteries, and the plays got off to a good start. We were on stage first, presenting Oh where, oh where can my blanket be? with Charlie Brown and his gang. Linus had lost his blanket, so Lucy assembled the kids for an intensive search which ended up at Snoopy ' s door. He had taken the blanket. The main characters: Linus, Lucy, Charlie Brown, and Snoopy, were played by Chris Anne Nakis, Louis Hayes, Christina Vincelli, and Lygia Pietracupa respectively. All in all, the plays went well, much to our surprise because during rehearsals things were chaotic, and backstage co-operation was just as unorganized. Props were missing, people lost, and scenery not done yet. But it was worth it, as was shown on Wednesday afternoon. As the saying goes, A bad dress rehearsal produces a good show. Thanks to everyone in Barclay for another win this year. Leslie Goodson

With the addition of fantastic House spirit and enthusiasm most of us worked throughout the school year, and we achieved a great deal. Gumming ' s Henry VHI ranked second in the plays, and only one point behind Barclay House. Henry always looked forward to his women, food, and drink! ! Robin Kwiat as Henry played her part very effectively, with Elizabeth Harcourt playing as his very confident and trustworthy wife, Catherine. Even though Henry got what he wanted, he was never satisfied, owing to constant threats from his former (beheaded) wife Anne Bolyn. Maybe we will make the top of the list next year, but that means hard work and lots of eager little Gummingities! We managed to scrape up seven dollars from a bake sale before Ghristmas; this money went towards the cost of the House picture. Many thanks to our great House Heads and House Mistress; all that persuasion and push probably accounted for our success. Gail Goodfellow, Form V A
