A Thurber Carnival Our major fund-raising event of our junior year was the prod¬ uction of James Thurber’s A Thurber Carnival.” The play, a collection of comical skits, starred a cast of sophomores, juniors, and seniors, all of whom held at least one major role. Music to accompany the acting was provided by Beverly Erickson and Neal Stiller. Duncan Ross directed the show, which played on three suc¬ cessive nights in December. Each performance was well attended by an enthusiastic audience, and our class budget ben¬ efited greatly from the production. More important, however, was the enjoyment and satisfaction which each participant gained from being part of the show. For many students it was their first experience with acting, set design, stage management, or drama in general. And, as any one of those involved will confess, it was a very rewarding expe¬ rience.
