Long hours of cast rehearsal and behind-the-scenes work by the whole class went into this romcmtic 3-act presentation, directed by Mrs. Nordstrom and stan'ing Gay Iohnson as Lizzie and Dave Meyer as Starbuck, the rainmaker. An unusual lighting effect was tried for the first time in this play, as scenes were changed by switching the lights from one set to another rather than by using the curtains.
