Juniors give Curtain Going Up Curtain Going Up was a very unique play in Which the plot was centered around-of all things-the presenta- tion of a junior class play. On stage, the cast members encountered many comical situationsAriValry and jeal- ousy over parts, the disappearance of the playbooks the first day of rehear- sal, a set of comically cr-ossed-up high school romances with a capital R, or stagestruck heroine, the appearance of a once famous but now forgotten stage star, friction between the faculty, and, to top it all off, a romance tor the director herself-situations probably only too real to the juniors after three Weeks of rehearsing. However, the pro- blems were worked out and the fic- tional characters' play was a big suc- cess, just as Curtain Going Up Was a real triumph for the juniors. You'll be sorry, Miss Burgessl You'Il be sorry you didn't cooper- ate with me, warns Tony, the school janitor, played by Larry Hop- per. The part of Miss Burgess was played by .lean Wagner.
