SENIOR PLAYERS MAKE RECORD RUN Comes Time To inTroduce The Senior Players-i. e. The dramaTics class. Thumbs in vesT, we modesTly admiT ThaT ElmhursT oTTers The only 5-day-a- weelc dramaTics course in Allen CounTy. T-lurrahl This group made iTs debuT on The ElmhursT scene only This year and already has won The plaudiTs OT The sTudenT body Tor Their presenTaTion OT plays and slciTs. Mr. Sellers, sponsor, does noT cOnTine himselT To Teaching iusT The Tine poinTs OT dramaTicsp he aTTempTs To insTrucT his prOTeges in The Tunda- menTals OT TheaTer cosTuming, malce-up, lighTing, and seT design. The Players' TirsT endeavor was a comedy-mysTery TiTled The Swamp. The ploT, Tull OT ghosTs, murders, and surprises, plus real acTing abiliTy, and a combinaTion OT weird sound and lighTing eTTecTs lcepT The audience in fearful suspense. The casT included A. Busse, J. Coleman, l. l-loughTon, J. l-louser, l. Leonard, D. Logan, and B. Shearer. Early in The new year, The class presenTed a series OT blaclcouT sl4iTs. An ensemble Trom The band provided bridge music. No accounT OT The Players' acTiviTies would be compleTe wiThouT men- Tion OT The senior play. This year's selecTion, a comedy mellow-drammer by Paul Loomis, was produced wiTh period cosTumes and seTTings. lT was enTiTled Pure As The Driven Snow or A Working Girls SecreT. Any synopsis OT The ploT would probably read: The Tale OT a persecuTed heroine, chasTe and chased, wherein virTue Triumphs over villainy. QuT- size programs, misTimed sound eTTecTs, and beTween-curTain acTs in a gay- nineTies Tempo added To The hilariTy. A. Busse and D. Logan, The only regular masculine members OT The class, were hardly suTTicienT To Till The Tive male roles in The play: ThereTore, B. Langmeyer, B. Shearer, and D. Lunz were conscripTed To Till The gaps.
