Play Reveals Hectic Life of Schoolteacher Trials and tribulations involved in being a teacher, according to the T973- '74 senior play Up the Down Staircase, dramatized to the audience what a hec- tic life teaching may be. The play centering around the over- crowded Calvin Coolidge High School in New York City, dealt with the hilari- ous and heartbreaking antics of a new and attractive young faculty member, Sylvia Barrett, played by Kari Addington. Bea Schacter, played by Celia Boyn- ton, portrayed the experienced teacher who was always standing by to give Kari whatever aid she might need in her try- ing situations. Wilson Neely played the part of the suave, sophisticated Paul Barringer, while Kyle Collins took the role of joe Ferone, a hostile and apath- etic student with a high I. Q. Stage Managers Sharon Sparr, Cindy Waugh, and Pat LaRocca assisted direc- tor Mrs. Linda Raya by smoothing things out backstage.
