Iuniors Present A Thurber Carnival Stroking the imaginary animal, I. Vicars remarks, Nice unicorn. There's a unicorn in the garden. So reported Iohn Vicars to his wife Ruth Richardson in one of the Iames Thurber fables included in A Thurber Carnival , a play whose structure and format may have been the start of the humorous rapid-fire re- view type program, such as Laugh-In . Chosen and directed by Mr. Hirst, the play was pre- sented by the Iunior Class on November Z0 and Zl. A cast of 17 members, with the aid of student directors Yvonne Smith and Teri Shoemaker, portrayed the characters in the entertaining production consisting of seven Thurber selections plus word dances. An added attraction was Brad Bennett's Thurber cartoons which served as an entertaining and ef- fective backdrop. Liz Taylor, Ieff Robinson, Dan Fitz- gerald, and Ioe Unzicker provided musical interludes and accompaniment for the dances. With many of the class working on committees, the juniors, in combined effort, produced a successful play that was a change from the typical three-act production.
