All-School Play, David and Lisa, overcomes difficulties with success Lisa especially enjoyed learning when taught by her trusted friend, John. The All-School Play, David and Lisa, directed by Mr. Steven Shepard, climaxed five weeks of ef¬ fort by cast and crew. Although they encountered many problems such as stolen programs, a cut fire curtain, and small restless audienc¬ es, the play was successfully presented March 18 and 19. The story told of two mentally disturbed teenagers—Lisa, a schi- zophrinus who talked in rhymes, and David, a paranoid afraid to be touched. The play began with David being taken to the institute by his over-protective mother. He soon met Lisa and a strong attraction developed between the two. Lisa, who had trusted David, and David, who had trusted no one, began to trust Lisa. After an incident in the park when David rescued Lisa from two attackers, each took a step towards overcoming his problem as they walked back to the institute, confidently, hand in hand. r- As head of the school, Dr. Alan Swinford sought to help students overcome their in¬ dividual problems of life. With eyes closed for moral support, David overcame his fear and took Lisa’s hand. David and Lisa Cast David Clemens.Brandt Staley Mrs. Clemens.Rita Dabertin Lisa. Anne Allen Dr. Alan Swinford . .
