This firm command by Miss Sank, senior play director, sent many an evening rehearsal of Take Your Medicine into an over- time session. And what sessions they were! There were many off-moments of fun in spite of the nightly trips in hazardous weather, the long hours of rehearsal, the repetitious practice of difficult scenes, and the cold that penetrated the auditorium during the six weeks of re- hearsal. Lynn Barnhart and Allan Dinning could usually be found quarreling over posses- sion ot the one hospital bed available for rehearsals. No wonder! The loser had to rehearse his part while lying on a lab table without benefit of a mattress. Miss Sank, demonstrating the right and wrong way to play a certain role, had the cast doubled up with laughter. Bet- ty Bentz, the young student nurse in the play, insisted on washing Lynn Barnhart's face at every rehearsal because the script called for it. Audrey Ashbrook, Betty Angelo and Ioanne Berkebile found it difficult to say their lines and look cheerful at the same time. They often appeared on stage with the facial expression that usually accompanies a burp. Charlotte Knupp as the stern head nurse was always good for a laugh when she appeared at prac- tice in her crisp white nurse's uniform, pink anklets, and saddle shoes. These are but a few of the many humorous sidelines and incidents that relieved the tension involved in re- hearsals. On Friday night, November 30, 1951, the big moment arrived. Miss Sank and her able assistants, Evelyn Donahue and Ellen Newcomer had done their part. It was now up to the cast. Each act moved with precision and professional skill. The audience responded with gales of laughter and a wonderful ovation and curtain call. The Senior Class Play of 1952 was over. But for some it will live on as one of the pleasant memories of the year when we were Seniors. Twenty Three
