JUST YOU AND I This year’s Junior-Senior Prom at Chéz Josef in Agawam was held on May 15, which was not a beautiful, sunny day; however it did not rain. As one drove his car around Ludlow, he could view all of those going to the prom posing for pictures in their yards. Everyone looked incredibly nice. Some people were even unrecognizable. As people arrived at the prom, many of them lined up to have Mr. Krasner take their pictures. Others just socialized until dinner was served. Dinner consisted of prime rib, chicken cordon bleu or jumbo stuffed shrimp. All were excellent. Once dinner was finished, people were ready to dance, and that they did until 11:30 p.m., with one break. This break was for the announcement of Prom queen and king and Prom prince and princess. People anxiously awaited to hear that junior Lori Santos and her date Ken Saloio had been chosen as princess and prince. They also waited to hear that senior Laura Garneau and her escort Dan Gaumond had been chosen as queen and king of the prom. Because it was a night of such good food, excellent surroundings, great music by the band Breezin, and fun company, ‘Just You and I” is a night that won’t soon be forgotten. ars .

26 A WINNING PRODUCTION The Ludlow High School Student Players’ pro- duction of The Dining Room turned out to be their winning entry into the Massachusetts High School Drama Festival. Ludlow’s cast included Maryanne Abeid, Christopher Burrage, Rebecca Clark, Heather Kenneally, Richard Marceau, Andrew Snyder, and Maura Snyder. These seven actors portrayed twenty-four characters in The Dining Room, A. R. Gurney, Jr.’s sometimes biting satire of upper middle-class Wasps. The play is a humorously poignant series of vignettes on the changing role of the classic formal dining room over the course of three generations. People and their relationships and even the time of day keep THE DINING ROOM dissolving into one another without warning. Only the dining room furniture remains stable. In one scene, a father rushes off madly to avenge a slur made on his brother. In another, an oppressive Depression-era father lectures his children on grammar and manners. In yet another, a young mother contemplates on running out on her own child’s party with someone else’s husband. All in all, Gurney’s play is a cleverly conceived series of alternately hilarious and touching vi- gnettes, all set in a charming suburban dining room featuring seven talented actors and actresses who continuously change roles and ages. The kids celebrate a birthday.
