V--AI ' 'rt 7- Y A ...L Steyning townfolk listen in surprise and doubt as Cuthman reveals his plans for building a church. The Boy with a Cart You beast! Take that yoke off my boys' Ueff Spooner and Gary Meade, necks! raged Mrs. Fipps lConnie Mclntyrel. Based on a true story which occurred before the seventh century in England, The Boy with a Cart, AHS's Christmas play, directed by Mr. Schoeni, told the story of Cuthman, an ambitious farmhand who, having been rejected by the villagers of his homeland, iourneyed to another site, pulling his mother in a cart behind him. Inspired by God, he decided that the place where the cart's rope broke the second time would determine his new home. Reaching his new home, the devoted Cuthman later attempted to build a church, which was accomplished only by a mir- acle performed by the Lord Himself. The story, narrated by Gary Bruch, saw Richard Rothe in the leading role as Cuthman, and Gail Bergner as his mother. Other characters were Bess and Mildred, neighbors, portrayed by Anne Reetz and Kathy Downs, and Tawm's daughter and son-in-law, played by Lynn Dickinson and Greg Joseph. Tthe uniqueness of the play lay in the fact that it was entirely written in poetic form.

Senior Class presents The Cavedwellersn The class of 1964 brought the troupe of penni- less players in William Saroyan's The Cave Dwel- lers to life before the audience in the Appleton High School auditorium. A bare stage represented the abandoned theater where a family of one- time greats made their home. Saroyan's warmth and human nature are re- flected in each of his characters. Connie Mclntyre who calls herself The Queen was at one time a great actress. Ron Kirk played the part of The King who was once a celebrated clown but had lost his abilities. The Duke, a washed-up prize fighter, was portrayed by Steve Hubin. These has-beens, living in the past, permitted only theatrically inclined individuals to live with them. However, the homeless, frightened Girl, Annette Baron, was accepted into the group, her claim to fame was that she had once recited The Pledge of Allegiance. This congenial family, however, was thrust into the world when a hous- ing proiect claimed their home. An outcast, Annette Baron, seeks comfort from cavedweller queen, Connie Mclntyre.
