“All the World’s a Stage’’ The lights are dimmed, the audience is still, and the air if full of expectation, Suddenly the gold curtains sweep apart revealing one of the most valued areas — the stage. Orchestra bows, stage props, lights, and microphones — these are just a few of the many tools which contribute to that mysterious attraction which this important platform most cer¬ tainly possesses. Unlike most other areas of performance, the stage is a unique multi-faceted environment which undergoes a new transformation with the coming of each new week. Whether its atmosphere is full of the deserted, haunting air of the one-act play Voices ' ' or the nervous tension which is present as the new Miss Osbourn is announced, the stage is continually changing. Above all else, the stage is a place of art. It is a place where one can express oneself whether through the music of a concert, the drama or comedy of a play, or the morals and lessons of a spe¬ cial guest speaker. After all, without the stage there would be no applause — no excitement. The auditorium would be¬ come merely another big and empty classroom.

First runner-up Jill Rathke, a junior contestant in the Miss Osbourn Pageant, talks with the audience about her outfit and about her interests. Stage 23
