As the curtain rises, there is a mad rush for places. Now don't forget your cues! Prompters ready? Curtain! Then there are the frantic cries of the actors. Is my wig on straight?', Let's see the script? Fm losing my voice. But it must be remem- bered that a great deal of preparation went into this production. What sort of play shall we do? Tragedy? Comedy? Farce? Drama? Tragical comedy? Comical tragedy? Farcical tragedy? Comical drama? Tragical farce? Dramatic comedy? Anyone for a minstrel show? Next come the tryouts. l'll be the dead man. Who'll be a good lunatic? Rehearsals, under the direction of Miss Hayes, echo with cries of, Speak louder, Face the audience, Act your parts-no, not you, you're the corpse. Back where we came in the curtain was going up, and before long, it was going down after a successful performance. The applause was deafening and the cast heaved a sigh of relief knowing that they had scored a hit and had enjoyed doing it.

FOOTLIGHTERS As the lights dimmed and the blue velvet curtains slowly parted on the evening of March 18, the auditorium was magically carried back to the summer of 1923 for the opening night of Our Hearts Were Young and Cay. The play was the result of many rehearsals under Miss Stotz's direction and months of memorizing lines, digging in old attie trunks for 1923 costumes, borrowing or begging props, and hammering away at scenery. Clad in long-waisted dresses, Sharon McKenna and President Patty Hoag played the leading roles of Cornelia Skinner and Emily Kimbrough. The hours of work of those behind the scenes, and the effort and talent of the cast combined to make the 1954 Foollighters production a memorable one. 5 if Q? x.

SENIOR CHOIR Between the planning of songs, rehearsals, and publicity for the Christmas program, and the enthusiastic anticipation and preparation for the novel Spring Pops Concert, the Senior Choir has had little time this year to relax. From the gay Ch0psticks', to the inspiring Christmas Hymn, they have sung clearly and tirelessly with only a little time out now and then for a bit of deviltry from some of the masculine members of the group. Under Miss Goodwinis ambitious leadership, flat, hard-to-reach notes became bell-like and clear. The addition of some new black music folders greatly simplified the process of distributing and keeping songs in order, and they added a pleasing finished touch to many concerts.
