Guest Wore Out Her Welcome — To An Ovation Bv Sue Long The fall play was to have been Marne, but for a lack of males, Mrs. Schmidt switched to the comedy- drama, A Guest in the House, which starred: Ann Proctor Jane Fileff Lee Shirley Tucker Hilda Pat Haymes Dr. Shaw Jim Waters Aunt Martha Sue Long Miriam Blake Linda Jackson Doug Proctor John Jackson John Pete Dakich Dan Procter Chris Reinhart Evelyn Heath Regina Hurst Mr. Dow Jim Bonick Mrs. Dow Avy Andreatos Pamela Rhodes Debbie Smith Cam Tracey Gary McClellan Student Director Cindy Poti Director Mrs. Kathryn Schmidt Six weeks of rehearsals every night from six until ten, laughs, screw-ups, unfinished homework, fallen grades, one minor argument, new friendships, and one ton of hard work. Six weeks of rehearsals for three performances that came and went all too soon. With make-up plastered on, hair sprayed down with glop, Avy spraying her dress with Cling-Free every ten minutes, Regina changing clothes on set, rushing to places when curtain starts opening, screaming at the stage crew for turning the lights down too soon, bursting a bladder, a standing ovation, tears, collecting stars off the dressing room door, the parties and TP-ing Mrs. Schmidt’s house and Mrs. Spurr’s car, and finally on the Monday after, getting clothes and props back. Its really hard to believe that six weeks could pass so quickly. 0 F

Lines of patience crease John Jackson ' s face as Mickey Peters squeezes into their home on stage in their Adam and Eve performance.
