A greater challenge tlian a situation comedy was chosen by the Class of 70 when they selected the social drama, THUNDER ON SYCAMORE STREET, to present April 16-17. The play was double-cast, giving everyone who tried out a chance to have a speaking part. Others were drafted for the mob scene. Sycamore Street citizens turn from average, quiet neigh- bors to a tense, determined mob when Joseph Blake, an ex-convict, and his family move in. Deciding that there is no place for the Blakes on their block, the good people of Sycamore Street plan to march on the Blake home and force them to leave. As the mob reaches the height of their anger, Blake stands up to them, assisted by quiet, thoughtful Arthur Hayes. Forced to realize what they are doing, the people come to their senses and leave the Blakes in peace. Carcilinc H;iycs (Cynthia Higcr) learns of the steps being taken against the Blakes from Mac (Gary Ulhch). Irnia (Janet Braiin) and Roger Morrison (Glenn Gacek). Caroline Hayes (Peggy Pettigrew) hugs her father, Artluir Hayes (John Mullet) after he has regained her confidence by standing up to the group threatening the Blakes. 54
