Sut Oh tfcu mi We can hardly imagine the timid Chester Biney, leading character in The Whole Town ' s Talk- ing sp eaking thus to his one and only, but in a play as full of comedy and surprises as the 1945 senior play, anything could happen — and did! The cast and Eleanor Foley should receive laurels for staging such a successful performance, in spite of war conditions. Taking part in the play were Nor- man Holtzman, Emma Jean Summerville, David Raper, Nancy Dudley, Arthur Heath, Jim Meek, Flo- rence Osterhout, Doris Helleis, Shirley Hughes, Pat Benninger, George Clark and Clara Donahoo. One of the most popular one-act plays enacted by the drama classes was Sparkin , which was put on for the La Mesa Woman ' s Club. In the cast were Barbara Wright, Joan Duncan, Helen Martin and Larry Hill. ileht Wfkt • • • The festivity and gaiety of the feast scene, the awe and radiance of the breathtaking Madonna scene, the holiness of the emotional Scripture Stories, the deep resounding tones of the readers, the orchestral background, and the stirring voices of the choir, blend together to produce K l ' y:- ' ' the message of the Christmas pageant — Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth, peace, good will to men. That more and more people, seeking peace in a war- torn world, attend the pageant each year, is evidence of its greatness, and that, in it, they find the peace they have sought for, is evidence of its immortality.
