sprit de corp unites cast, crew xcellence evident in portrayals, set, costumes by Tod Bookless Fighting colds, flu, and mid-terms, the cast and behind the scenes crew of the all school play, The Man Who Cameito Dinner, managed another first when their second night performance topped their first night. Like so many other things during the current year, the 1985 play set many firsts, some of which will hopefully be- come traditional whereas others, at least according to director Barb Cole, will re- main as one-timers only. Perhaps the only major annoyance to the director this year were the infamous wheelchair races as cast members tested their speed and agility during practice runs. The annual threat to calloff the play did not materialize this year for several reasons, mainly because of the strong esprit de corp that developed and was evident among the cast members and crew hands. This unity tightened friend- ships and created an unforgettable bond. Because a much more elaborate set was necessary, many hours of work went into the design and building of it. An- other difficult area was for the costumers to determine how to give added weight by padding the lead character. Although the size of the crowd was frustrating and disappointing to those who had contributed so much in creative talent, effort, hours, and expertise, when the final curtain call was taken and be- fore the cast party at the home of Kathy from a good-natured jokes, few the performance f . . and unctioning troupe. 22!Play ,Whiteside, Cfod Bookless, sr.,J about his Gannon, everyone agreed that being a part of The Man Who Came to Dinner was an experience to be remembered.
