One-Act Earns Superior Rating Topping all competition, the cast of the one-act play became the first from Colum- bia Heights Senior High to win highest hon- ors in the state play contest. Their perform- ance of The Firebugs by Max Frisch won praises from judges at sub-district, district, regional, and state levels. At the state play festival, held at St. Louis Park High School February TO, the play re- ceived two A's and an A -l-. Only two other schools earned superior ratings, St. Louis Park and Hutchinson. The play, a modern comedy set in Ger- many, employed a wide variety of stage techniques. Methods used ranged from a vaudeville chase scene to a line of firemen similar to a Greek chorus. Giving the play a modern tone, songs such as Come On Baby Light My Fire, Sock It To Me Baby, and an introduction from a local band, The Travel Agents, were used. Judges praised director Gary Fischer and the cast for their precise performance. The cast consisted of nine people. All but one of these were boys. Involving a large number of people, the production crew was essential. Their responsibility was to see that the set and props were always in place. Because of its great popularity with the students, the play was performed for the public a total of ten times. Performances were held at the senior high, both junior highs, and Robbinsdale by invitation. Mr. Biedermann issues the command that he is the owner of his home.
