Hutchcraft, Stage Manager, helped the audi- ence understand the play with his narrations. Our Town” is a three act play dealing with the lives of the people in a small New England village. With the use of a stage manager, Thornton Wilder was able to tie to- gether the lives of a certain period. The play, dealing with a life such as our own, provided an entertaining evening. The back stage crew played an important part in the play's success. Members were: ROW 2: Miss Sundin, Di- rector; S. Benson, Student Director; K. Barck, Lights; J. Meyen, Make-up; N. Denekamp, Make-up; J. Christian- son, Sound; Miss Kelly, Technical Director. ROW 1: S. Fitzpatrick, Usherette; J. Olson, Make-up; R. DeWit, Lights. D. Wicks, town drunk and choir director, is shown directing members of his Thursday night choir.
