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.
