i .fvfexmfx faswff-xL Night at an Inn'. Following Tantasqua, Lincoln-Sudbury High prew sented Wlnfantan. As a finale for Friday night, our host, Wachu- setts presented WMooncalf Mugfordn starring Brenda Leger who was later chosen for the All-Star Cast. g The Festival being over, we went backstage to greet the cast and to say 'So Longnto the Southbridge group for the night.It was not as if we were leaving our friends for as we later noted, the boys and girls from Wachusetts were the friendliest group we have ever met. We soon left the school and headed for Stuart's which we found to be a nice place for the crowd to get together. We arrived at Brenda's safely and stayed up for a few more hours discussing the night of plays. When we awoke, the sun's beams were dancing through the win- dow calling us back to reality. We then met Mrs. Leger,who, like Brenda made us feel 'at home' away from home. We soon set out for Wachusetts and were very much suqxised not to see the Sisters and boys of the cast. It was now time for us to go on stage, and the Sisters and boys had not yet arrived. Mr. Barker was 'very helpful in arranging a late rehearsal, for which we were thank - ful. Finally, Norman's car made it ! After settling dee tails,our rehearsal finally got underway,Fo1lowing the rehearsal, we dashed out to eat. After leaving most of my food behind, which is not like me at all, we rushed back to school to get into our costumes and make-up. A little bit of last minute confusion was born when John Morin discovered his beard was gone! We were al - ready next to hysterical with nervousness, and this last incident just about finished us.Everyonc fs tanning around aimlessly ,and there stood UPoor Johnn with no beard. Meanwhile,this'llttlbfbut so important object, was having a peaceful rest in Mrs. DuMais ' handbag where it was later found! . Curtain time! Sudden Sickness! People praying! All theseemo- tions synonymous at the moment! Up went the curtain and we felt all was lost. What were we doing on this spacious stage? For the first time, we wished we were at home. Before we knew it, the curtain was closing and we were once again down-to-earth students from Saint Mary's. I now recall that very tense moment in the play, when I had my mouth opened to ask Pompy for my handkerchief. I was in complete shock, when from un- der his breath he uttered, WDon't ask me for the handkerchief , I haven't got it!' Until this day, I don't know what lines we made up, but somehow, we came through. The WFinger of God' followed our play. This was presented by Gardner High and was the only play we nissed for which we were acr- ry for we were told it was one of the best of the Festival.Act II if she WEmpgror's New Clothes' was next presented by Northamptxzn g . 39
