In readiness for their big debut the cast and crew of You Can ' t Take It With You display their talents- acting and otherwise. The Kirby ' s (left to right): Kathy Dyson.

They Could and Did Take It With Them Contrary to popular opinion you could have, and did take it with you if you had the pleasure of attending another one of Miss D ' s extravaganzas. This comedy set in the 1930 ' s showed the trials and tribulations of a slightly eccentric family whose problems, it seemed, had just begun. Not only does their sweet, kind daughter bring home a young well to-do bachelor, but they are forced to entertain his stuffy parents. Blow after blow is felt by the family until things really blow with the explosion of a year ' s supply of firecrackers! Then the chaos ensues, however, this, as all good stories, ends happily with everyone living hap- pily ever after. During that final hectic week, NHS students learned quite a few things, some of which are that is next to impossible for two competent props managers to get a coke on time; always keep a mirror with 5 feet of the stage; never, never ven- ture into the hall for fear of disturbing some ro- mantic scene; and the fifth and final one is never soap windows or do anything to provoke a $25 speech (compliments of Miss D.). A horrified Penny (Iris Tackett) cringes in frigfit from the explosive anger of that nastily neurotic revenue man (James Chowning). Stopping the presses, firecrackers, ballet, lessons, typing and assorted tasks; the Sycamore household poses for their family album. 10 You can ' t take it with you
