PROLOGUE “All The World’s Our Stage” Those of you who have a nodding acquaintance with Shakespeare’s play “As You Like It” will recognize that we paraphrased this year’s title from the famous speech “The Seven Ages of Man,” which reads in part: “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. First, the infant, ... And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school .. We have tried to show the second age of man — the schoolboy — as it was performed here at Pe- tersburg this year. So, I welcome you to the Petersburg Public School’s 1982 production of “All the World’s Our Stage.” The actors, stage crew and producers con- sisted of our student body, staff and faculty, and administration. The parts we played taught us how to cooperate with each other and to get along in life. Just like in a theatrical production, we had to work together to give a shining performance. To those who receive this book, we hope you enjoy our performance as much as we loved presenting it. Brenda Ann Pelster Editor-In-Chief 2 Shakespeare, William. “As You Like It.” Act II, Scene 7.
