REMEMBER THE DAY December 3-The curtain goes up and the junior play, 'iRemember the Day, is Ong but another play is also on, The Backstage Bun- gles. Where are my books? Who took my pen- cils? are whispered as the school kids make their grand and impressive entrance. But what was wrong with Ruth Sibley's black cotton stockings? She had a terrible time trying to keep them up! No wonder Don Williams's face was so red during that love scene, with ten giggling play- mates gaping at him from behind the curtains. Everett Wernicke certainly started a panic and almost drove Miss McGraw, the director, into hysterics when it was time for his entrance to carry his long pants, and he discovered that he had left them in the dressing room. Then came the grand rush with everyone trying to find a substitute, but just at the opportune moment, some rescuer dashed in with the miss- ing trousers and the play went onl Although Peter Kohler played the dignified principal to perfection, he forgot his dignity when he flopped his hat on and the powder from his hair fell like a brief snow flurry, The stage hands practically went crazy dash- ing from one corner of the stage to another. Wayne Ault, besides being'Tn the play and smok- ing string in his pipe, was chief manager and showed his able assistants, Kenneth Howmiller, Arthur Larson, Arthur Moore, and loe Musche- lewicz what to do. All's well that ends well, but there certainly was cause to remember the day. I6
