S tagc... Finally, as Scene XII comes into view, the players show an enthusi- astic pride in accomplishment. Scene Xi! proceeds in a whirlwind of activity and reaches its climax in a splendor of blue and white. With much pomp and circumstance the curtain falls on a weary but exultant troop of players. All is silent on stage until a new play and a new cast appears next fall.

m €i)t OTorttt’s Act I, Scenes I through VII have been completed, and as the curtain rises, Act II, Scenes VIII through XII are now in progress on the stage. In Scenes VIII and IX much of the action is devoted to getting adjusted and learning to study. Scene X signifies the middle step in the pro- duction, and identifies the professionals from the amateurs. While Scene XI progresses, the actors are becoming more aware of the ap- proach of Scene XII and are putting forth their very best to reach this highest point in the play.

...Ml Ei)t itten nlj Hustling and bustling in the halls, cheering at the games, and sharing happy moments with other stu- dents are all representative of the friendly atmos- phere which hovers around ACHS. Smiling, happy faces indicate the pleasure that each student gets from playing his role at Alleghany. Each day brings a new and different role for the student to play — some of them serious, some of them comical; but every role draws him more deeply into the activity of school life. During this second year of Alleghany ' s history, there have been changes in the roles of the students and changes in those who take part in the production of a memorable school year. With these changes, however, comes a stronger bond between the students and fonder memories for each student. Next year some of the players and producers will change again, but those who participated in the ' 64- ' 65 school year will never forget the success of this second year.
