Mll lllllll Illllll llll ll ln Riordan's short history nothing has been more influen- tial in building its reputation than its dramatic productions. This year it is the purpose of the Lance to dedicate this page to the MEN BEHIND THE SCENES . Little is said about them during the performances, et without their efforts it would be impossible to maintain the high calibre of our P- ix 'Q Y . Ng, Mr. James Lindland meditating on the American Story The Class of 55 would like to thank Mr. James Lindland for patient- ly working with us through our four years at Riordan. It has been his experience, knowledge and originality that has given us the basis Know How of the theatre and has set Riordan on its pinn- acle of drama. It has been through his unending work that Riordan today is proudly and respectfully recognized by the students, parents, teachers, and critics of San Francisco. May his success match his efforts productions. For working months before each show on stag- ing, effects, set construction, lighting and make-up they truly deserve this recognition.
