more intensified srage training join the dramatic classes. The budding playwrights study journalism under Mrs. Sexton. ... A minor climax in the plot took the form of a strike for lootbalL However successful this measure may have been, our audience and critics did not enjoy the performance. . . . Ring down the curtain on Act Three. Sceneshifters, set the stage for the last act. ACT FOUR; SCENE ONE TIME: SPRING 1945 Lights! Action! The pirate horde is advancing! Tensely, our cast awaits the moment when Captain Applejack takes its cue, and holds a week ' s engagement at the Evander theater. Behind the scenes, our classes In stagecraft, costume, and make-up aid us in doing a professional piece of work. . . . We make plans for open- ing night, sometimes referred to as graduation day. Com- mittees are formed to give us publicity and entertain- ment. VVe are looking forward to the end of our run with anxious foreboding as to the certainty of future engagements. Cur play has become very dear to us. We ' ve been members of the cast for a long time, and we feel that a script which will read as well as Evander ' s will be hard to find. A few of our co-stars are leaving the production ahead of time; but we rally together and make ready to give the best performances of our lives. ACT FOUR; SCENE TWO TIME: FALL 1946 Fanfare! Lights are dimmed to portray a senti- mental mood. We glance back at the many sides of the script, and know that it has been well-written. Our master gesture is the donning of the senior hat. We have a costume rehearsal: Frolic Day. The end of our run is celebrated with class dances and a Prom. Each actor out- does himself in cooperating with his fellow players. . . . The last scene finishes in a blaze of glory with Producer Alpern and his directors to assist us in the final lowering of the curtain. IN THE LOBBY AFTER THE SHOW The critics acclaim us. We eagerly scan the gradua- tion program for our billing. Success! Success!
