Each series has a setting, such as our place of work, where action is centered. All have a basic theme from which a plot develops: raising a family, earning a living, and so forth. The length of the play can be from a few days to many years. Though our roles vary among plays, we have parts to perform if the play is to succeed. A man ' s accomplishments are determined by how well he does in each role. Every day we are involved in life ' s plays. This yearbook illustrates one of those plays; that is, the 1968-69 school year. The Tracer staff has tried to show the diverse moods and incidents of the play. That year was one of tragedy and cornedy, conflict and cooperation, and heartbreak and victory. The action ranged from spectacular sports to the subtle moments of homeroom. Contrast was the pulse of the play. Like so many of life ' s plays, the school year play closed after only one performance. Never again would the identical cast be assembled, acting out the same play. Some of the cast ' s careers at Brandywine ended. No longer would they appear at Brandywine, but the world offered new roles to be acted in original plays. As long as they live, they will be on the stage, for the world never reaches its final curtain. nf f ' INTRODUCTION TO CAST An essential factor for a successful play was an experienced cast under capable direction. The script used in the 1968-69 school year play was carefully assembled and written months before the play ' s premiere. It was the cast ' s respon- sibility to enact the script to the best of their ability. With the coming of September, a steady influx of characters appeared on the set. The seniors naturally assumed their starring performances immediately. Members of the other classes took less prominent roles in support of the stars. All had parts vital for the complete development of the play. Strong guidance was needed to unite the cast into a functioning body. The faculty in its directing position fulfilled this. Using skills learned by past plays, the directors were able to reach the apogee of each character. Without the director ' s expert command, the play never would reach the pinnacle of quality. Off stage were numerous individuals whose jobs were keeping the play proceeding smoothly. These unseen workers carried out the countless details which could not be undertaken by either the actors or the directors. They were the bonding force that held the play together. In the end, it was the cast ' s many talents which decided the play ' s final outcome. Carol Adams — Carol was an active member of the commercial section.

The prompters, or in this play the senior class advisors, met the challenge the play presented. When the action stalled, they were able to get the play moving smoothly again. Though their work was often unseen and unrewarded, without the efforts of Miss Smith, Mrs. Bordner, Mr. Youse, and Mr. Burkhardt, the play would have been destined to failure. On the stage several stars took roles as leading characters. The senior class officers distinguished themselves by their devotion and drive in trying to make the play a success. They spent many hours behind the scenes organizing and developing the cast. The tireless spirit of Jerome Lendacki, Tim Moll, Vicky Miller, and Scott Heiter well desired the bravos of the audience. Senior Class Advisors: Miss Maria Smitii, Mrs. Fay Bordner, Mr. Larry Youse, Mr. Charles Burkhardt Senior Class Officers: Jerome Lendacki, President; Timothy Moll, Vice President; Vicky Miller, Secretary; Scott Heiter, Treasurer. 35 Donna Althouse Willard Barto Roxanne Berlew Diane Bleiler Terry Bollinger Lana Borrell Though the seniors held the starring roles in this performance, the aid given by their understudies, or the juniors cannot go unnoticed. As understudies their primary function was to substitute for a star in time of need. The juniors carried out this skillfully by filling the gaps in the play. Several of the juniors shov ed their star potential throughout the play. Some choose the dramatic sports scenes to illustrate their abilities. Other juniors picked the less obvious parts in academics. In clubs and other organizations still others discovered their calling. The juniors proved themselves a versatile group. Next year they m drop their subordinate roles and will undertake more complex starring parts. With the proper motivation, the juniors will successfully utilize their talents in a future play at Brandywine.

Filling out the onstage actors are the sophomores as the supporting cast. Their parts were lesser in responsibility and length, but not lesser in importance. In such a play there are no small roles to be acted out, for all parts are needed to present the full meaning of the play. To remove the supporting cast would leave an empty void which the stars and their understudies would ,be incapable of filling. The sophomores in their parts helped plane the rough edges of the play. It will take time before the sophomores are ready to step into larger roles. As in all things, one must proceed slowly at first to learn the fine points before becoming an experienced master. That experience they gain over the next few years will prove essential when they become the stars.

Bonnie Delong David Delong Pierre DeRagon Lorraine Derr Jessica DeSantis Barry Dries Mi The freshmen, although not directly associated with the action on the stage, served as a bond between the audience and the players. The frosh found most of their duties connected with the audience and had little to do with the course of the play. Still their close contact with the audience made the freshmen vital, for an energetic and courteous team of ushers and usherettes builds the audience ' s confidence in the play. By doing this, the frosh performed a job as prominent as a starring role. The freshmen were vital in creating a pleasant atmosphere for the audience. Though important in their function, the freshmen will not be satisfied until they too are on the actual stage. They must work and wait for the day when they will lead the play. 45 ▼ ' W J - J ■a. a .■J .

Silently and without recognition they went about their tasks of taking care of the production ' s countless details. Some of these people functioned by day; others did their jobs at night. The cooks daily catered to the appetites of the remaining cast. In the office the secretaries were responsible for controlling the vast amounts of paperwork. Throughout the play, janitors tended to their jobs of maintainence and moving props. Though unseen, the School Board had the dif- ficult task of coordinating the cast ' s activities. Though their names only appear in the credits of the play, these people ' s efforts were a de- ciding factor in determining the play ' s final outcome. 53 Guidance Department: Robert Nash and Mary Ann Trout.

However, in this play the faculty, our producers, provided some things more valuable than money: their knowledge and experience. The faculty had accumulated years of background while assisting past groups in their performances. These individuals were the professionals who led the play through its turmoils and conflicts. The faculty had the insight to make the proper decisions to guide the play on a smooth course. The faculty often gave of themselves more than their jobs required of them. In clubs, in sports, in music, and in other activites the teachers undertook new roles and relinquished after school hours for the play ' s sake. Though it brought hardship and few rewards onto themselves, they went on, knowing their work would enrich the careers of the cast. They Gave Of Themselves Every Day.

The directors are always mentioned last in the opening credits to a production. It seems unfitting these men should receive so little notice. Their jobs were far more complicated and took many more hours to complete than any other part. The full burden of the play rested on the directors ' backs. Praise and reward were practically unknown for men whose jobs forced them to make decisions unpleasant to some. It took determination, stamina, and courage to do what they did. The cast was indeed fortunate to have two fine directors in the persons of Mr. Merkel and Mr. Ayres to lead and command the cast. Without their valuable suggestions and firm control, this play would have turned into chaos. Instead, the directors gave it a chance for triumph. Supervising Principal: Ralph Merkel. 58 BRANDYWINE HEIGHTS AREA SCHOOLS TOPTON. PENNSYLVANIA To the cast of this production, the senior class. Before any production can be viewed by an audience, many long, tedious, but wearisome hours are spent not only by the actors in rehearsal, but also by the producers, the directors, the make-up artist, the story managers, the carpenters, and the other stage hands. Our group has attempted to produce another stage hit that will play to standing room only audiences. Indeed, it has been a pleasure to direct this group of actors, who have been so loyal and cooperative. Your troop has done an outstanding job in preparing for your debut. It is our profound desire that each and everyone of you give the greatest performance of your life. The size of the theater and the size of the stage is not important. The part that you will play in thrilling your audience is the most significant. When the curtain goes up and the stagelights are turned on, we wish you the best in all your accomplishment.

[; Enthusiastic Wallace Supporter. I knew they could do it! ' ACT Mr. Hatzai in deep thought. As the curtain opened for the beginning of the play, many familiar sights were present on the stage. Some of the props and background were used in previous performances. Most members of the cast had returned to a place where they had acted before. Even the plot seemed unoriginal. As Act I continued, the audience realized the play was not to be a carbon copy of some earlier performance. Act I made it clear this play was to be as unique as a newly, dawning day. The scenery was put to original uses and the cast was assuming roles unlike those of past years. The plot, though similar to others in some aspects, was full of novel twists and action to enhance the play. This play was like preceeding plays as a child resembling its parent, but that child growing to be dissimilar from the original. Act I had its importance in setting the atmosphere for following acts. This mood was slow to form; but once it did, a lively, rhythmic tempo began from which the play never waivered. A feeling of renovation filled the cast and several segments of the old order fell to progressive action. The actors ' enthusiasm was never to die or fade. Act I was to be noted for the developement of this spirit. A momentum was started in Act I. Though the play had ties with tradition, the cast was unafraid to speak with voices of innovation and change. This act showed the audience the play had the potential for greatness. •What, me worry?

This year it was exceptionally well done by superior preformers. Most of the class play ' s cast were veterans of the previous year ' s milestone performance, Lotr umplight. Together with their directress. Mrs. Sondra Yarrison, the class play cast achieved the greatness the year was noted for. A fine choice was made in the play the seniors presented. One Foot in Heaven was the story of a pastor and his family taking over a congregation divided by petty quarrels and racial prejudice. Though the play was set at the turn of the century, it was easy to identify it with today ' s world. The new pastor was attempting to build a new church while disappointment occured before final success. It was truly a play of a man ' s determination to succeed in his goal. Opening night arrived after hours of rehearsals. The play ' s cast nervously paced backstage, wishing the play was over. Finally the curtain opened, and what followed was history. Before they knew it, it was curtain call on the second night. The play had its finale, but memories lived in all who saw and performed in it.

The latest soccer scores were the center of conversation. They were the stars of Act I and the play ' s action focused on them. The team took the fury of their opponents and of nature; they forced on even though their bodies cried for rest. The squad played through heat and frigid air, sun and downpour, victory and defeat. A well-balanced offense and rigid defense made up this team of devoted players. An exciting year and spectacular playoff series ended anticlimatically as the team missed a championship by a corner kick. Still the sportsmanship and valor were cited.

Their roles were not dainty ones, as they engaged in the grueling sport of hockey. Hockey was never intended to be very feminine, and the girls put their hearts into their playing. It had been said that girls ' sports were soft and did not take much effort. This was not so for hockey. Through long practices and countless drills they stood strains often experienced in more masculine sports. Whenever they had a contest with another school, the hockey players turned into an aggressive lot, trying only for final victory. In hockey the girls showed t|iey had the drive and will to win. m V :.

Vast crowds were not drawn to see these boys as they ran along their course. This was not because the sport was not interesting, it was just the game ' s nature. There was no field or court to play on in cross country. About the only time one saw the players was when they left the starting line and when they ended their trek. It was two and one half miles of running over the countryside. Breathing became heavy and frequent as the runners continued on. Finally, they gave that last burst to cross the finish line. Exhaustion enveloped them, but the pride of accomplishment satisfied the emptiness. The cross country team together made the final score, but the sport depended on the individual. The runner was alone on the course and it was his will that carried him home. Cross country players were a special breed.

These skilled musicians were led by Mr. Francis Hanosek, who devoted his time toward the band ' s improvement. The band ' s playing gave an additional dimension of the fine arts to the play. The band was well-known for its concerts at Christmas and in the spring. They also added spirit to the pep rallies. What was most easily remembered about the band were the times they marched in parades. The flag twirlers, the majorettes, the color guard, and the band itself in their new uniforms were sights not easily forgotten. The play would have been a little drab without the added sound of the band. W. .V,, . J .1-. ' Drum Major; R. DeJarnett. 71 Percussion: T. Geist, R. Miller, R. Readlnger, D. Reppert, B.

A school year contains a unique group of people performing roles they may never do again. The spectacular incidents and the routine affairs both deserved to be forever recorded in the yearbook to capture the full meaning of the play. It was toward this goal the yearbook staff worked. Producing a yearbook was the total effort of the editors and their helpers. Uniting their talents, the yearbook ' s staff set forth to complete their task. Their work involved mounds of pictures, stacks of copy, and the ever-present deadline. The staff ' s labors ended with the handing out of the ' 69 Tracer.

Due to the play ' s great length, several issues of the Flashes were printed during the span, reporting the happenings of the school. The senior editors showed the junior apprentices how to prepare a quality paper upholding traditional ethic standards. The newspaper was a diverse collection of news, feature articles, editorials, and sports, all telling the story of the times. A prime aim of the editors was to present the facts unbiased and accurately. Since the play was full of occurrences needing clarification, the newspaper justified its existence by separating rumor and falacies from the truth. Because of its honest reporting, the Bullet Flashes was anxiously awaited by the cast. Bob and John check the dummy sheets. The Flashes Reported The Truth. vm FLASHES EDITORS: G. Moll. J. Schoter, K.

ACT II While the first act dealt with the establishing of a mood, Act II concentrated on the play ' s action. The spirited pace begun m the play ' s beginning continued into Act II. In Act II the plot, with all its complications and triumphs, was to come to life. The transition from Act I to Act II was made very subtly. There was no abrupt closing of the curtains to signify the act ' s end. The change in acts was executed even while the actors were performing their parts. Bits of scenery were inconspicuously moved and the background was replaced with a different one to represent a change in season. Some of the actors maintained their starring roles, while others emerged with their apparent, there was a significant contrast between Act I and Act II. The theme of the play was transformed into action in Act II. The actor ' s parts interwove into a pattern as unique as that of a snowflake. Groups of actors, though separated on the stage, had their effects on one another. This interaction went from the extremes of conflict and dissent to agreement and compatability. Occurrences were spectacular at times, but more often routine: for this was a play of life and life has many repetitious happenings. These little things were not unimportant; they contained the true soul of the production and were more likely to be remembered. No part of the play was without meaning. In Act II the path the following act would follow was charted for the cast. Hints of the final outcome were glimpsed briefly in Act II, but a real image of the last act was impossible to see until that act had begun. It was a barrel of fun! Before the food took effect!

Victory, that ' s our senior battlecry! The cheerleaders had a difficult job to perform. It was their responsibility to enthuse the crowd at basketball games and to unite that spirit into organized, vocal support for the team. The shouts and yells of the crowd were effectively molded by the cheerleaders. Before games the cheerleaders prepared for their night ' s task. Once the game began, these girls lived through every tense minute of the game from their sideline position. Every shot, every foul, and every point scored was felt by them. Though the team was losing, the cheerleaders transferred fresh inspiration to the team through their cheers. Any team victory was also a victory for the cheerleading squad. 81 Pep Club: Row 1: Mrs. Hertzog. S. Keim, C. Noll, P. Schaeffer, C. Landis, S. Reinhart, T. Brown, V. Miller, B. Haas, D. Readinger.

The Booster Club filled its ranks from the people in the audience, not the cast. These individuals were keenly interested in the fate of the play, and they transformed the desire to assist the play into action whi le functioning as an auxiliary arm of the play. In its attempts, to aid the cast and enrich the play, the Booster Club operated numerous events, all for the play ' s success. Time and money were two contributions of the Booster Club that helped support the cast. Pep Club was another organization which aided the motivation of spirit at athletic contests. The Pep Club had the job of advertising upcoming games, planning and executing pep rallies, and enthusing the crowd at the game. Together they tried to prepare and maintain the pitch of spirit which did so much in bringing home a victory. Booster club sold refreshments at each game to raise money. The minstrels are now a part of the year ' s activities. V mk. U m. They Gave The Crowd Plenty To Cheer About. Rarely has a Brandywine team accomplished as much as the basketball squad did. Through a glamorous season they compiled a 13-3 league record and finished 17-7 overall. The team swept forward only to have their drive blunted in the championship game of District 3, Class C by Upper Dauphin, 48-45. Though defeated, the basketball team could proudly look back on what they did. They showed everyone, who saw them play, true team effort and how to take the ups and downs of the game in a gracious manner. The team ' s infectious spirit spread throughout the school and community. The crowd at the games was a loud one and the team gave them plenty to cheer about.

Scott Heiter goes in for the rebound. A prime source for action in this act was a basketball game. In this play a group of skilled performers were gathered together and united by the will to win at a game they were devoted to. Weekly the audience was thrilled by the display this team presented. The individual members of the basketball squad all had a talent at the game, whether it was shooting, passing, or defensive work. But basketball was a team sport and the individuals were conglomerated together into a functioning squad which operated like a precision machine. While the team operated as a unit, it was a juggernaut capable of defeating its strongest foes. Rarely has a team had the potential as the basketball team did and they put that potential to work. Their record spoke of that. Seniors: R. Shane, G. Fegely, R. Grossman, S. Heiter. 84 • ] ; 4 Varsity: (Standing) R. Shade. J. Snyder. M. Nolan, E. Detra. T. Bollinger, T. Hilbert, R.

The Senior-Faculty game was an annual contest anxiously awaited for. The senior stars clashed with the male segment of the faculty in a riotous game of basketball. For one night the faculty and the seniors were at equal status and almost anything went. The game was the classical conflict of youth vs. the older set. The lighter, speedier, and more maneuverable seniors matched their talents against the stouter veterans of the faculty squad. Esprit de corps ran high, for a victory meant the loss of face for the vanquished. The seniors tried to weary their opponents in the beginning by using their stamina edge. The faculty seigeguns, meanwhile, continued their bombardment of the boards in an attempt to break the senior ' s defense. It proved to be a tiring night for both sides and eventually it ended with only one victor. Though the game ended, the highlights were debated for some time to follow. igrw y I These cheerleaders (?) cheered to the bitter end. Varsity: (Seated): C. Sanger, C. Fredrick, B. Zwoyer, R.

In this act, however, the girls basketball team made a name for itself. Their skill at this particular game matched that of their male counterparts and their drive for victory was no less. Though played during the awkward after-school hours, the audience attended these contests with well-founded hopes of victory. The girls took up the challenge of the game and with determination they achieved their goal. The power which swept the boys to success was duplicated exactly by the girls ' basketball team.

Wrestling was strenuous on the mind and body, because for six minutes the contender had to tap all his resources to defeat his opponent. Wrestling was a sport which accompanied the participant every second of the season. Weight control was vital along with speed, agility, stamina, and strength. The strain and agony exhausted all but the most deeply motivated. Crippling injury was a constant threat while one was on the mat. A wrestler bore discomfort and hunger for the moment his arm was raised in victory. This was his reward and it was a satisfying sensation. 90 For Six Minutes. Seniors: Randy Millet and John Henrich.

They all have shared the experiences of monotonous drills, of strenuous practices, and of victory and defeat. This common bond was what drew these sportsmen together into the Varsity Club and G.A.A. Through these clubs the members worked toward the goal of raising the standard of quality in sports on the stage. They sponsored various functions to promote athletic interest and involvement in the cast. Throughout the play they sacrificed time and money while attempting to reach their objective. To have a play filled with action scenes, groups such as the Varsity Club and G.A.A. were vital. 92 G.A.A.: Row 1: Mrs. Kinderman, J. Delong, A. Mabry, R. Radcliffe, B. Hess, K. Oswald, D. Reed, B.

Here they learned the secrets of a vocation becoming more important and complicated every day. Several girls found themselves participating in the F.H.A. in preparation for expected roles. In this club they learned the methods of home management, domestic skills, and family care. At a special training center Vo-tech students were given the opportunity to take studies in their chosen career to give them the experience and background needed for their future. Vo-teachers attended morning classes at our stage and then were transported to the Vo-Tech center for specialized preparation in their particular area. The players appreciated the chances made available by these groups, for with the instruction they could more easily make the transition into upcoming roles. Ernie practices masonry.

Once in the group, high standards had to be upheld so a member would not fall into disfavor. Scholastically these players were the elite. Since the business world was vital to our society, a constant need for commercial leaders perpetually existed. F.B.L.A. tried in its small way to prepare a few of the individuals who hoped to become the guardians of our nation ' s economy. Learning came from instruction from qualified teachers. No generation could exist without an educational system. To meet this, some players dedicated themselves to teach the youth of the future. F.T.A. was a springboard into their careers. These clubs brought the challenge to emerging leaders and teachers of tomorrow. •CHEESEburger! ' Honor Society: (Standing) T. Hilbert. G. Moll. E. Detra. J. Schofer, R. Wagaman. (Seated) S.

Schofer catches up on the latest sports news. Some seniors could actually be found studying. Speaking out for the actors and actresses was the Student Council. These leaders were chosen by the cast to their offices. Student Council had to do its finest to present the views and stands of the cast to the directors and other persons of authority. The Council lived up to its purpose by introducing progressive innovations throughout the play. Taking charge of the camera and lighting work was the group known as the Audio Visual Club. These tradesmen were skilled in the solving of problems of stage effects. The dramatic appearance of the play was enhanced by these craftmen. Japanese paper folding was part of history class.

Raunzahn, J. DeLong, D. Meek, J. Weil, B. Scholedice. Their Songs Echoed Throughout The Stage. Miss Bieber strove for perfection. Being the largest single organization, the size of the chorus alone made it important. The popularity of the musical group was illustrated by mass cast participation. Because rhythm and music are basic to man, the chorus was a group that all had a common interest in. Chorus was an outlet for a talent all possessed. Chorus was not simply the releasing of this inner spirit in joyous melody. Each voice had to be carefully tempered into its finest tone. Voices were then grouped together with similar ones to create a distinct resonance. Finally the sections were blended into a harmonious sound. That sound was able to take the deepest emotions of man ' s soul and put them into song. 102 The girls ' chorus prepared for their medley entitled Curtain Time. Practice was needed as the concert drew near. 103 Creativity is one of the natural segments of the human being. It has caused man to create works of art and inventions from the basic material which surrounds him. Man has always tried to show his originality. Some of the clubs helped cultivate this inborn tendency. Knitting Club allowed girls to take yarn and transform it through their labors into useful items. Photography Club taught its members how to record permanently parts of life, creating an art with special qualities. From all areas of knowledge, Science Club drew information for utilization into original projects and ideas. New ideas, necessary for future plays, were bred in these clubs. Remember the ghetto?

Throughout our years at Brandywine we have come in contact with a multitude of instructors and other personnel. The struggle to reach our senior year has been difficult and trying, and without their assistance the quest would have been impossible. They have tried to lighten the load and give guidance and encouragement in times of stress and confusion. To all we owe a measure of gratitude. However, we single out a person who we feel has done the most in our development. This man went beyond basic standards of teaching to make each class a unique experience. Learning by discovery, not by lecture, was his style of teaching. He catered to no group but treated all justly and with respect. Though the discussion may have occasionally strayed, if the topic was one of sincere interest, he permitted it, for he knew there was more to life and the world than the subjects he taught. To him, teaching was the finest profession and he took pride in his work. This man ' s total contributions to us are too manifold to ever be rewarded. Still, we would in a small way make his name and memory immortal. For his efforts, we dedicate the Tracer of 1969 to MR. STEPHEN W. HATZAI. - 585 Let ' s pack it in! ' He Took Pride In His Work. and then this frimitz centerizes itself over here. ' This is a trick the Phantom once taught me. ' Did you say only six more minutes? Another session of lunch line mama.

What was begun in the first two acts found its conclusion in Act III. The spirit and enthusiasm exhibited in Act I and the driving action of Act II were blended into a spectacular climax in Act III. That zenith, like the rest of the play, was unique to this or any other stage. It was packed with emotion, suspense, and surprise. The cast had been tested as a unit successfully, and in this act it functioned at its finest. In Act III a level unmatched in the play was reached. A major reason for the summit of acting in Act III was the supreme efforts of the stars. This was their last appearance on this special stage, and the stars were determined to make it their greatest performance. Years of experience while struggling to get to the top were focused into this moment. The stars had to give their all at this point. Once Act III had begun and the stars quickened the pace, it was obvious this was the stars ' time for glory. Their roles dominated all other parts. The stars were the centers of attention and they carried the play to its pinnacle. In the final outcome, the stars were the factor that decided the play ' s achievements. Before it was realized, the time span for the play had ended. Another play of life had come to its finale. Though completed, this play was not forgotten. The play lived on in the hearts and minds of the actors involved and the audience who witnessed it. What, Me?l 109 Baseball Team: First Row: F. Geist, B. Hess, H. Lehr, D. Shoemaker. Second Row: E.

As the stars approached the end of their careers on their small stage, they took a trip as a group to learn more about the stages of the world they were about to join. On this journey they came in contact with roles they had heard of, but had never seen acted out. In this one day the stars experienced sights and feelings they had never known. In New York City they found towering structures and filth in the streets, elaborate restaurants and theaters close to decrepit slum dwellings, and the luxury of the socially elite next to the plight of the unfortunate. This trip was a memorable one for all those who went on it. This group was shown the real struggle of life and of their future roles they would soon face. Some people ' s kids KAWHONA!! Are you sure they ' re with us? CfiRL R. eiEBER TC The chaperones enjoyed themselves as much as the kids. Snake, caught in the act again! Laurel and Keith are enhanced by the music. The Prom Was A Night Of Splendor. One event enthusiastically awaited for by the cast was the Junior-Senior Prom. During this one night each actor had the opportunity to take his special leading lady to a night filled with as much excitement as an opening night. This year the prom was held at Stokesay ' s Castle. It proved an appropriate location, for the finery of the players ' dress matched the elegance of a king ' s court. Not only was one ' s clothes dignified, but also one ' s manners took on the refineness of behavior fitting of a knight and his land. All too quickly the band was playing its final selection of farewell and the evening so long anticipated had ended. Still, memories that would never perish were formed of the night of splendor. The lights were dim and the music was romantic. It was an evening to be remembered. r •Let ' s do It again. Only this time, do it right! The final act had been played out to the end. No more songs remained to be sung and no more lines were left to be read. The curtain of this play had fallen for the stars and their roles abruptly had reached a conclusion. All that was left for the stars to do was to take their first curtain call at Baccalaureate services. These services were a solemn occasion, for everyone knew the stars ' careers were finished and they were leaving. The realization the stars were soon to break up as a group and the sorrow of that thought reached every heart. One could only pray for the divine guidance needed for his future roles.

As they stood together for the final time, the stars took the thanks of an appreciative audience who showed their delight in the actors and in their performances. Each star received an award certifying his accomplishment and to be used to unlock doors to roles on other stages. As they united their voices in singing the alma mater, the stars were making a final tribute to a place dear to each of them. An event hoped for with such eagerness was over and it concluded with a tear. The time to leave had come. A world was awaiting them. t HOOi !- t . f. i ijx t.r f 1 r . L i- Play Had Come To An End.
