f With its cast of thotisands Camelot was the biggest production T.C.S. has put on in the last few years. There were so tnany in the play that some of us wondered who was going to watch it. But as it happened the gym was booked for the three nights solid. As the producer and director the Rev wanted to get aw ay frotn the sterility of the new gym and he did this and more. With the addition of a second stage and moving the fighting to the aisles the Rev brought the audience right into the play. The play would have got nowhere if it were not for Nlr. Prower. As the music director Mr. Provver was excellent and helped greatly. The key to the play's success was Winky Thomas whose beautiful voice made many an hour joyful. Leslie Peer was King Arther and as his first major role he did very well. Gus Grant was superb as Lancelot and few will forget his 'C'est Moi. But it appeared to us that Gus was singing this even before he was in the play. The play was held together by the chorus who put in tnany hours of hard work in order to reach the perfection they attained. The ladies were led by Mrs. Campbell who sang conservatively and Nlrs. Campbell was led by the bass chorus which as everyone knew, was the backbone of the play. How ever, the chorus owes a lot to Mrs. Montgomery for her excellent costumes and for keeping us on the ball. All in all Camelot w as a great success. tfotkntvu Irmtr fwfr left: L 'est Nlotf' The creating of the Round Table.

U15 Happiest fly fff ur lfitfe The Happiest Days of Your Life - certainly no smash hit but nevertheless it added some much needed comic relief in the midst of the longest term of the year. lt is hardly necessary to explain the complicated plot because I am quite sure that all you avid readers were present for the November 22, 23, 24th performances. For those who missed it, however, the action takes place in an English private boys' boarding school after the war. A girls' school is forced to cohabit with the boys. Hopcroft mi. tl-luntj and Barbara tDouglasJ try to throw a wrench in the works. Tassel flier! looks for a mate in Joyce tNeedhamJ while Billings tWarrenJ tries to avoid one, Miss Gossage tPrue Dalej. Doug Macfarlane, type-cast in the role of Headmaster, must fend off the verbal abuse the Headmistress tElspeth Tottenham! hurls at him. Chaos ensues, as both schools try to keep the improper situation a secret from the parents, i.e. the Sowlers and the Pecks. As the play comes to its anti-climatic close, St. Swithin's and Hilary Hall are cooperatively blockading the school from another deluge of homeless schoolchildren. Credit must go where credit is due, thus it goes to the cast for tolerating Mr. Kedwell, the director, and to Mr. Kedwell for tolerating the cast. Last but not least, the stage crew once again came through with flying colours and were able to add their own local colour to the set.
