Juniors Present “Pieces of April’ As the band played “Pieces of April” each silent, nervously smiling couple walked around the tables and over the bridge, eventually making their way back to their table. The Junior High commons was a haze of color and beauty as girls and guys laughed, talked and often danced to the music of Thrust, the talented group chosen for the Prom. Toward 12:00 as Thrust began the last strains of music, bit by bit the commons was vacated. But the Prom was not yet over. Most Barons had plans for many hours to come.

Written by Hart Kaufman, “You Can’t Take It With You” transports you back to the late 30’s where -you meet the most extraordinary family. The Sycamores have several fascinating traits and hobbies.

Es- sie and her husband, Ed, and Essie’s ballet teacher Kolenkhov, a loud Rus- sian. Confusion results when Alice, the rather straight member of the family falls in love with Anthony Kirby, son of a wealthy businessman. The court- ship seems doomed to fail as the two families cannot resolve their very ob- vious differences. Yet while the Kirby’s may hold the Sycamores in great distaste, the audience loved them and despite snakes and fire- crackers, plays and ballet dancing, common sense prevails and Tony and Alice are to be married. Once again the director Mr. Nagel displayed his Astounded when they are faced with agun, the Deb Christian is oblivious to the happenings expertise in using to its fullest extent, Sycamore family and friends have no choice around her as she carefully applies makeup to the abundant talent of the students. but to obey the orders.
