Baseball '48 Along with the feeling of Spring comes the urge to play baseball, and as soon as the ground is dry enough we take to the fields. A large group have signed up for baseball and the ones who will probably make the team are Maida, Sue, jo, jane Iserman, Judy Gordon, Evie, Ib, Diana, joey, Barbara Low, Sandy Eldridge and Anita. We can't help reading about the merits Cand demeritsj of the girls' athletics without mentioning the woman who makes the program possible. She is none other than Nancy Ware. She has been coaching at Edgewood for years and everyone has enjoyed working with het. She can occasionally be found sitting on the big rock to the left of the driveway, always with a cheery smile on her face and a pleasant word for all. Thank you Nance, for all the fun you have given us.

The Nativity The twenty-second performance of the Nativity Play was presented on Decem- ber 15. The play, written and directed for many years by Miss Lucine Finch, was carried on after her death, by Miss Washburn. The cast included students and Alumni who had played the same parts in past years. We call it the Edgewood Nativity Play because it was written for the facilities available in the Big House. For an hour we forget that the staircase is a flight of wooden steps, it becomes one of Bethlehem's rolling hills on which shepherds watch their flocks. Those who remember the performance are glad that this tradition is being con- tinued. Trial by Jury Gilbert and Sullivan were well hailed at Edgewood this year by the student production of Trial by Jury . The production was somewhat in the way of an experiment, as Edgewood had not had a musical in nearly ten years. It proved to be a very worth-while, enjoyable and successful experiment, however, for both cast and audience. Trial by jury was a completely student production, the only faculty member assisting being Miss Burnham, who played the piano accompaniment and did much of the musical arranging. The operetta was directed by Peter Hornstein, who sang one of the male leads, no Broadway director ever did a better job, and if the operetta's success lies with any one person, Peter is certainly the most likely candi- date. The leads in the show were played by Sandy Eldridge, Mike Hayden, Larry Donino, joan Link, and Peter Hornstein. They were supported by the costume, lighting and property committees which did an excellent job. As all those concerned well know, the operetta was hard work, but the show's success more than made un for it.
