Jane Ellen Seeber and Anneliese Schichl seem to emerge from an oblivion of snow whiteness and sky grayness. The extremely cold winter weather kept the snow on the ground, the fuel supplies low, and the kids out of school. The cafeteria served as the classroom for a number of sixth graders during the three days they spent at the high school. 23

PLAY YOUR ROLES During the course of a year, each individual finds himself continuously in a position where he is forced to play a role. In the classroom by com- mand, in spare time by choice, or in a social situation by necessity, one must be an actor. In daily living one makes exits and entrances, speeches and one-liners; one dons theatrical make-up in the form of superficial airs and pretenses. Each pretentious personality is a small part of one’s whole being and identity. As a person grows and ma- tures, the various characters he por- trays grow and mature, becoming a facet of his nature. In a world where the audience is society, every individual is in a drama, each one bringing some tears, some laughs, applause and boos. The play of life goes on forever — it is inescapable in its emotional es- capability. It is a prison of human existence and is also an emotional and psychological refuge. Three American Civilization students — Jeff Young, Howard Timbers, and Bill Martin — wait in line to be processed at a simulated Ellis Island. Debbie White, the heroine, expresses her supposed devotion to Tim Roberts, the villain, in the play A Dollar . 25
