Junior Class Play THURBER CARNIVAL, a unique play, was produced by the Junior Class, under the direction of Mr. Bruneau. The play was a combination of monologues and short fables, in the mood of a three-ring circus. A four-piece band from the University of Illinois supplied background music for the various acts of the play. During intermission, the cast presented Mr. Bruneau with a gift certificate, and Sandy Younker, the student director, with a corsage of roses. Walter Mitty pulls patient through the operation; Pam and Hob travel through the Junior Class Play; Cast members prepare Beth Ann for her operation; Steve and Sandy watch attentively; Don had the honor of lighting the last cigarette of the bravest man alive; Sometimes it is difficult to coordinate lighting and cues. 17
