cMeifUncf, to make The makeup committee for Fol- low the Dream makes up cast members just before curtain time. Much time and effort was spent by the makeup committee, scenery committee and lighting crew to obtain the desired effect in the school productions. The scenery committee for the two plays had to work after school and on Saturdays. They had to decide what kind of scenery would be best suited for different acts in the plays, then construct some of the scenery used and blend in the right color tones when painting the back scenery. The make-up committee learned how to apply theatrical make-up by practicing on each other. After experimenting they were able to use different types of make-up on each player neatly and effectively. The lighting crew, by the use of correct lighting technics, controlled night and day in the play scenes. They learned how to use the system of overhead stage lights and the flood lights. Miss F.lkin, directing her first play in L.P.H.S., consults her student directors, Judy Gerbrick, Marta Weinstock and Bob Klassen, on the forthcoming play, Uncle Harry.” Page twenty-two

On April 24, an all-student cast presented a lively performance entitled Through These Doors,” written by Mrs. Robert Coffccn, Guidance Secretary. This play-type production reviewed the progress of L.P.H.S. from its establishment in 1856 by Jasper Packard to the present day. The A Cappella choir, aided by members of the orchestra and student volunteers, staged this musical production. The cast performed in appropriate cos- tumes representing different eras such as the Gay Nineties and the Roaring Twenties. The program was well received by LaPortc adults as well as by the students. In the 1920’s all the hep-cats were doing the Charleston. This couple takes a bicycle ride as the choir sings Bicycle Built For Two.” Page twenty-four
