Maxwell's Secret Brew Attracts Audience RECIPE FOR SUCCESS - Take 36 spicy juniors, sprinkle lightly with sea- soned seniors, add 3 sprigs fresh fresh- men and mix vigorously overheated dis- cussions and bring to boil; serve Friday and Saturday nights, serves: 250. This is not a recipe for a cannibal's delight, rather Mrs Maxwell's secret recipe for this year's lunior Play — Up the Down Staircase, which was held on November 19 and 20. Sponsored by the lunior Class, the auditorium seated some 250 students and adults. The gross income was $500 which, according to class treasurer Andy Peer, Makes this one of the most successful junior plays to hit Red Bank Regional in quite some time. The play, which was set in a tough city school, starred Stacy Sherwood as Miss Barrett — an idealistic school teacher who tries to reach her students, and Andrew Cittarella as )oe Faroee — a hostile boy fighting for his existence on the streets and against the establish- ment in the school. Supporting cast members included Donny Chamberlain as the Teacher Paul Barringer, Artie Weinkofsky as Mr.).). McChabe - the stern disciplinarian of the school, and Laurie Croft as Miss Barrett's friend, Bea Shactor. Other cast members included seniors David Tanen as the administra- tor Mr. Bester, Paul Smart as the student lose, and Elaine Martino as the School Nurse. Up the Down Staircase proved itself worthy of the long hard nights these students and administrators spent at rehearsals. The ultimate goal of any show is to be a success. Up the Down Staircase met and surpassed this goal.
