But first, wait! just one more look! says Emily Webb, who is portrayed by Marlene Swisher, in a dramatic moment of the spring play, Our Town, presented April 30. All the hard work that went into this play and the weariness tha-t followed were certainly known by the cast. All the work, however, was at least appreciated at the final curtain call. The applause of the audience was really all the thanks needed by the cast and supporting players to let them know just how much the play was liked by the parents, friends, and students of South High. STAGE CREW Cliff Gaver, Ronald Byrd, Adrian Hinson, and Tom Reeves are pictured painting the scenery for a school production. Hats off to the stage crew. They receive few rewards for per- forming their tasks so diligently. They do have, though, the per- sonal satisfaction of knowing that they helped to make each play, commencement, or pep rally a success. There is an honor bestowed upon the stage crew in the form of a key. Very few keys are given as a boy must give outstanding service to receive one. In the present crew there is only one who has been present- ed with such a key, Ronald Byrd, a IIA who regs in 312. SENIOR PLAY The delightful comedy, Papa Is All, by Patter- son Greene, was the January senior play, which was presented in the auditorium on Friday, No- vember 20. Jack Sagaster portrayed papa, Dick Byrd, Iack, his son, Susan McGory, Emma, Eileen Menzer, Mrs. Yoder, Joyce Buchanan, mamma, and Bob MacLeod, Brendle, in the play invoiving a Penn- sylvania Dutch family known as the Aukamps. All three acts of the play took place in the Au- kamps' farm. The fireworks really started when papa came home and found out that Emma was secretly seeing a surveyor behind papals back. Then when the family thinks that papa is all fdeadl, the humor really begins. The cast did an excellent job of interpreting the Pennsylvania Dutch customs and the dialect, which added much to the humor of the play.
