The Pulitzer Prize Play May 2, 3, 4 The Stage Crew A very important part of any play is the scenery. Sales- ian's stage crew, under the direction of Father Toner, works long and hard to perfect the scenery for this year's play. The settings are very ambitious for a high school produc- tion, but these boys are an ambitious crew and have man- aged to create the proper mood by their careful use of lights and their professional job of carpentering. Father and his crew were building these sets for over three months. The success of this year's theatrical production is assured in great part by their masterful and talented hands. Thanks fellows, for helping to make the school play a cherished memory for all of us.

The Skin of Our Teeth by THORNTON WILDER REHEARSAL The leads in this play are cdpably handled by June Dodson CSabinal, Linda Georges lMrs. Antrobusl, Jerry Dolkowski CMr. Antrobusl, Bob Hoerauf and Catherine Bul- lock, fchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Antrobusl. The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder is Sales- ian's first attempt at something theatrically ambitious. Thornton Wilder is a unique playwrite. He refuses to be a slave to convention or to be hampered by the confines of a stage. He has a message to tell and he uses every method imaginable to tell it. The ploy is a mixture of sense and nonsense, laughter and tears, farce and fantasy, Red Skelton and Aristotle. As you may have already guessed, it is a play with a serious message told in an hilarious manner. To the young ladies from Catholic Central who cooper- ated with the Salesian Knights in making the production possible, may we say thank you. To Father Toner, the direc- tor ond producer, and to his stage crew and faithful actors, may we also express our sincere thanks. Proiects like this are the things that produce school spirit and happy memo- ries for everyone. Rehearsal Bob Boduch practices his part. In this scene, he points to an actor planted in the audience. Memorizing lines whether it he a famous poem for an English class or a school play is plenty of work. Here, Father Toner and his actors, for the first time, are practicing a new scene. Later they will discard the books and do the entire scene from memory. . Y I The Cast: Front row seated: Ed Duffessy, Bob Hoerauf, Charlie Murphy and Dick Sosin.
