Al Haddon and His Lam Silence, lights, action, and the play's the thing. The Seniors of '51 were making their debut on stage. One finds himself in the small town of Farmdale with Al Haddon on his 21st birth- day, the new heir, now owner of his Uncle's estate. This estate had a story attached to it. Odd noises were heard, mysterious lights would appear at all hours. And the proper citizen just doesn't run from his house attired in red Hannels yelling, I won't rub it, I won't rub it, I won't. In one plain word Uncle was said to have been eccentric! Thus was young Al greeted! And then he found the lamb! If you were told you Could have any wish fulfilled by rubbing a lamp, would you believe it? Al rubbed the lamp and ajir1ni,fin this day and agej appeared. From then on things went haywire. All the weeds disappeared from the yard, wood was stacked in a neat pile, and a new schoolhouse appeared and then disappeared! All these USHERS, SENIOR CLASS PLAY Mr. Prendergast, H. Ulvila,J.
