66No magnolias. Everyone in the cast cracked up when Charlie said it, but it didn,t have the same element of humor to the audience. Lines such as this one, along with many incidents, had a special significance to the cast of hCurtain Going Up. Who could forget opening night nervousness and how it seemed to fade away once we got involved in our roles? Visions of learning to jitterbug, our good luck snerd, and falling props seemed to flash through our minds while we were performing. As we took our final bow to an audience of friends and relatives, a feeling of helplessness overcame us as we realized that this was the last time wetd be working together as a group of actors. 1 Allison Gilbert and Bucky Knopp discuss the problems of their on'e life. 2 Kelly Reis tries out a costume for the play on the Fif- ties Day; however, he decided this outfit was too much. 3 Emma Reich lectures Jeff Rsiinger and Jo Ann St. John.

Nobody knew what to expect. HHomecomingH was almost a foreign word to us. What could we plan to include the entire student body and the citizens of Charlestown? As we spent many hours of tedious planning, someone came up with the idea of yard displays for each class. The idea was great e that is, after everyone decided what yard dis- plays were. As our plans began to take form, we selected our queen, Sandy Frazier, and one girl from each class to serve on her court. Now that the school was involved in preparations, time seemed to fly; and we all shifted into high gear experiencing the Homecoming week activities: blue and white day, fifties day, a parade through town and a bonfire at school. Finally we were ready for the highlight of the week - the Pirates9 romp over West Washington. It had been a hectic time, but we gathered together to celebrate our victory. We danced, sang, and clapped hands to the music of Copperfield; and, as the last notes were sounded, we realiz- ed that our first Homecoming was now only a memory.
