The spring play, under the direc- tion of Mr. George Kanzelberger, was a differ- ent type of production from those given in the past. For the first time in a Lincoln play, no scenery was used. The setting was left to the imagination of the audience. The stage manager, Howard Oestreich, cre- ated a setting for the characters with words, explaining the play to the audience as it pro- gressed. The production exemplified typical life in a town which, although imaginary, could be any town in the United States.

the Spotlight HIS YEAR Lincoln's Forensic Society offered two new clubs to students interested in the different types of speaking. The Debate Club, organized to develop an in- terest in public speaking and to help students better understand logical arguments, is coached by Miss Patricia Litsheim. The club, forming teams, competes against other schools in invita- tional debate tournaments. Declam, under the direction of Miss Beverly Lusty, is open to those interested in interpretive reading, extemporaneous reading, and declama- tive sections of speech.

The three acts illustrated three phases of life: youth, love and marriage, and death. The cast was one of the largest ever to ap- pear on Lincoln's stage.
