Spotlight On Acting — It was not quite a Broadway performance, but the all-school play “Father Knows Best” de- lighted an audience of over 150. The performers consisted of the first all-school cast in a long time. Practices were many and long but it all paid off on December 1, 1981-the night of the play’s first and only performance. The curtain raised at 7:30 to re- veal the set of a living room in the late 1950’s. The art classes had put their talents to good use by help- ing create colorful backdrops. “Father Knows Best” was co- produced by the two Oral Com- munications teachers, Miss Ad- ams and Mrs. Schaffer. Both ef- forts were rewarded with an out- standing performance, a bouquet of flowers for each, and a round of applause.
