1f'Cl1'l'lCl lug Compared to past years Drama Club has grown tremendously not only in size but also in interest and actions. Early in the year we put on a play for the Christmas Fair. This play was Roark Bradford's How Come Christmas , the story which Mrs. Hall reads to us at Christmas time. During the winter term everyone was busy working on the C. A.-Groton play George Washington Slept Here . As this play is given here at Concord there are many girls working behind-the-scenes on various committees. Also, there are some girls who are in the play at Groton, The Inspector-Germ eral . In spite of the busy school schedule there has been much interest and participation in Drama Club which provided for much fun and activity. Under the superb direction of the inimitable Howard Oedel, C.Afs 1956 production of George Wfashington Slept Here was one of the most successful plays we have had in years. In her stage debut, Vera Clifford portrayed the cynical character of Annabelle with surprising conviction for a girl of such a contrary nature. Others in the cast who deserve mention and credit for their acting are Susie Sloan, Ally Ful- ler, Sandy Spencer, Ann Terry, Mitty Cole, Helen Hardcastle, and Belinda Burley. Much to our surprise we found that in the senior class we have a fifty year old matron, Kay Wilsoii. Having aged considerably since the beginning of her senior year, she portrayed Aunt Clarissa and will always be remembered for her famous Newton, close the door, I feel a draft. The cast received invaluable support from the stage crew under the direction of Mr. Bill Eddy. The set was the most professional ever to ap- pear on the Concord Academy stage, for it was the result of weeks of hard work on the part of this valiant crew.
