EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF BERNARD YUDOWITZ The accompanying candid shot of the staff may give the im- pression that we are a group of seemingly carefree writers, but in reality we've worked hard on all written matter between these covers. There have been trials and tribulations, but we have man- aged to overcome them and we hope that we have added a few new precedents for future classes in this year's book. No one can find words of appreciation that would be suited in thanking Mr. Corbin and Mrs. Odell for all their help and guidance in producing the 1951 Crimson Blue. ADVISORS MRS. MARION ODELL-We all have a deep feeling of gratitude for Mrs. Odell, our general advisor, who spent much of her time helping us produce this yearbook. MR. RICHARD CORBIN - Thank-you's are in order for Mr. Corbin, our literary advisor, for the assistance he gave us during our race to meet the deadlines.

THE SENIOR PLAY One of the best senior plays in years -that was the general comment about this year's play, Cuckoos on the Hearth . Written by Parker Fennelly of Peel-rskill and ably di- rected by Herman C. Baptiste oi the faculty, the mystery satire proved a tremendous hit with the full house audience of Novem- ber 18. The play, which has been produced on Broadway, is a strict departure from the typical boy and girl high school production. Mr. Fenrielly, well-known actor of the radio, screen, and television, gave the occasion a Broadway tie-up by appearing at one oi the rehearsals. The play was especially well cast, and we shall never forget Bernard Yudowitz as Zadoc, the eccentric writer: Georgia Voo- nasis, as the giddy Lulu: Robert Renza as Svengali: Arthur Ru- dolph as the death-like Reverend: and Ronald Vicenzi as the raving maniac. And what a charming husband and wile Herbert White and Bernadette Shutt made! Remember the rousing cheer Vic Ott got when he appeared in the lull uniiorm of a state trooper? Loretta Kekacs and Shirley Ganeles added a little local color in their respective roles of the telephone repairman's wife You're lying, Mrs. Carleton and Doctor Gordon. And who can forget the very tough portrayal ol Doc Ferris which Tommy Lent gave. Barbara Field with her dramatic monologues between the acts kept the audience in the right mood. The attractive set was handled by Mr. Kropf and the Stage Crew, consisting of Iames Brillinger, the manager, Carmen Car- tisano, Iames Gibson, Edward Hald. Henry Lounsbury, David Miller, Raymond Ratte, Arthur Simmonds, Robert Straub. and lohn Walsh. Seniors who aided in the various committees included Elaine Scalzo, Tickets: Henry Dabbs, Publicity: Mary Lou Cole. Charlene Baxter, Gerry Roberts, and Isabelle Beuchert, Programs: and Mike Nardone, Joseph Vinci, and Iames Gallagher, Properties. On December Z, the play was repeated for the benefit oi the George Deitz Memorial Fund. Over S200 was raised for this worthy cause. And so ended the myriad activities dealing with the senior play. It involved a lot oi work. but there was also a lot oi iun . . . and the memory of the joy it gave will linger for many a year. I shall call my story HORROR AT HARMONY HEARTHU
