iqfokgue All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts- SHAKESPEARE-AS YOU LIKE IT Class Presidents Betty Squibb, Freddy Diaz, Gloria Weeks, and Donna Hougey. As the curtain rises we see that the sets for the coming performance have been put up. The directors are backstage, the players are in costume, the prompters are in their places, props are arranged. The lights will soon go on. The basic setting has been unchanged for many years. Some of the old roles have been polished almost to perfection by the leads with the help of the supporting cast. The stars will speak lines, perform scenes during their senior year that were written years ago. Their supporting players perform the traditional roles. Similar class activities, simi- lar courses, similar hopes-these furnish the thread of a plot that is always new and inter- esting because of the personalities of the actors, the unexpected variations which add to the charm of any dramatic production. The Tohiscan play, recorded in this book, has for its leads teen-age actors, who in portraying the comedy and the tragedy of 1950, are in rehearsal for similar but more important performances in the greater drama of life. May they play their parts bravely, gaily, with assurance, and with credit to their early rehearsals on the Top-Hi stage. 5
