A-Q 3712 Clyurtain lses On Monday, September 8, 1947, Hoke Smith High, like an actress playing her first role, stepped demurely into the educational limelight. Her role in the community was to be tested, criticized, and possibly ap- plauded. Many were skeptical that she could give even a fair representation of the role that heretofore had been untried in the school world, a role for which there had been no rehearsal. How could any ingenue hope to cope with the role that should be reserved for an illustrious, celebrated prima donna? Hoke Smith High had the chance, but could she reach the heights of performance that would establish her as a star? Her opening was looked upon with interest by critics and friends alike. who wished to see what a mere beginner could accomplish with her novel, unheard-of role. Now, at the end of the first act, Hoke Smith High has shown that a stellar performance is to be hers, that a truly great performance can be in the making. She made mistakes. yes: all beginners do. But the deftness and ingenuity with which she handled her role overshadow the mistakes that she was expected to make. The curtain will rise soon for the beginning of the second act, and in the eventful years to come. the curtain will rise many, many times. 7
