QW W I settle mto my seat ln the theatre The lxghts have not yet dlmmed as I open my Playblll wlth a thrxll of antxcrpatnon Usually I know whrch star IS playmg what part but the rest of the cast IS an unknown quantlty Sometxmes hovs ever I d1scover that an old fayonte a dlstlngurshed character actor rs playing a supporting role At the close of the Hrst act I turn once more to the program Now I am mterested m those excellent actors vsho haye been provndmg me w1th so much delnght and I study the unfamllnar bxographxcal data Often I vsonder whether they are really actlng or whether they are yust playmg themsely es The great actor has the gxft of becomrng momentarrly someone other than hnmself The actor who IS type cast may provrde me wlth ephemeral pleasure but he wall seldom be added to my roster of truly versatlle players I am sure that you who have chosen The Playbxll as the theme of the yearbook of 1957 must have thought of that almost too famllxar utterance of the Bard who was hlmself an actor All the world s a stage and one man ID h1s tlme plays many parts It was he who wrote other Imes equally well known to thme own self be true And xt must follow as the mght the day Thou can st not then be false to any man The nmphcatron rs that each of us has a best self to which we can choose to be faxthful or not I would hke to suggest that the theatre of lnfe IS qurte the opposxte of the theater of the stage nn that the greatest performers are not those who turn many faces to the world but rather those who snnccrely play the1r best selves Of course people judge what we are by the outvy ard face we show by the way we look sound and act but lf our outer appearance IS only a mask for an lnner self which 15 vam selflsh greedy drshonest owardly 1t vull usually not be long before the mask w1ll slxp and we shall be known for what we are Our task therefore should not be that of the actor who strnyes always to be someone other than hrmself but rzther to encourage that better self to emerge so that the part ue play w1ll reHect such quzlrtres as humxlzty unselfishness generos1ty honesty eourage To use the Bard s words onee more Thus msubstantxal pageant faded may you not be as splrrts melted mto :ur into thln arr but as those who are well remembered for the yoy you haye glven to others through the playmg of your parts ln the theatre of lrfe MIRIAM DENNESS COOPER . 7 , .
