he curtain has fallen on another year. Our High School has closed for the season. D No more daily dress rehearsals . . . no mc--e rushing ti get ,to the set on time . . . no more hassle to learn lines or parts . . . no encores. Each one of the 2,129 cast members had a special role to play in Our High School, 1978. Each individual was like a piece in a puzzle or link in a chain . . . without the .n the year and OHS wouldn't have been the same. It's not as if this is the last showing of Our High School. Without a doubt it will continue to run for years and years. However, the date and names of the stars will change. New names and faces will assume roles that seniors left behind under- st ,idy cast members will move up the ladder to stardom . . . fresli, inexperi- enced actors will come to Our High School to grow and learn. But never will another year hold exactly the same experiences and surprises as did 1978. Even though its over now, there will always be the memories of the thrills that were shared in victories and the agonies that came with defeats . . . the spice that kept OHS going during the year . . . and all the show- biz buddies and helpers that shared, in the spotlight, the tradition and achievement that makes every senior proud to say, I graduated from Owensboro High School. - By Brent Price Finale! 4
