rush act. We also developed a well organized system backstage. This system tied together the whole show by apportioning various functions to independent groups. For instance, there is the chorus, the largest single group in the show, directed by Ronnie Spinello. He taught them the songs, the melodies, and was generally responsible for their work. Then there was the art staff which painted and designed settings, took care of make- up, fashioned costumes, and painted posters for publicity. The stage crew took excellent care of lighting, sound, and backstage management. The secretary Phyllis Schulman, handled all attendance records, gave cues, and sent out notices to the cast. My assistant and chairman of the lyric committee, Blanche Lilienblum, was invaluable in working hand in hand with me. Our dancing staff was made up of many excellent dancers and chore- ographers. One of the most important people in the show is Lisa Herzfeld, head of the music department. Beside playing the piano along with Phoebe Rothman, she was very active and enthusiastic in the writing of the script. The job of tying these units together was a particularly pleasant one, especially with the cooperation and enthusiasm of the Senior Class of Iune 32. But the show is about to begin and l must be going. Good night. A'Thank you Owen Rachlefffl Yes it is curtain time. Now the house lights have dimmed, the conductor is making his way to the pit . . . there's the applause. Backstage here the chorus members are lined up for the opening number, the soloists are also anxiously waiting . . . There are the first chords of the overture. Ladies and gentlemen, the Senior Show of lune 1952 is on. UYVFN RAClll.l2Fl:
