' ' Scratch - one to remember Scratch , not an itch, a play, a one act, contest play made up of a bunch of amateurs who didn ' t know the difference between stage right and stage left. A bunch of kids who made a tough show into a show that will worry competitors from now on. The cast and crew started late and there were three changes in the major role. The director, Molly Vernon, started out new and most of the cast had never worked with her. She had worked with Ball High ' s drama department and this fact gave the cast some hope. Mrs. Vernon started the kids off with warm ups. They started out with easy works which built to stretches, to running, and to jumping jacks. Everyone learned to do their own make-up. For the first time ever, they used latex. The base, Macado Yellow, made everyone look as if they had hepatitis to achieve the effect of looking dead. By this time, everyone was a nervous wreck. Did they drive Molly Vernon to drugs? No only sugar pills. As for the cast, only hypnosis could relax them. And finally, the show went on. To say the least, the show scared all who watched it. It didn ' t win the competition, but it laid the ground work for the plays in the future. Kathy Denman and Jenny Brouillard patiently await for rehearsals. The devil (Johnny) tries to persuade Karl Hammerschmidt. The director, Mrs. Vernon, shows off the cast ' s t-shirt. Organizations 85
