A 'match' is made THE MATCHMAKER, written by Thorton Wilder, was the all-school play presented at a November 14 matinee and evening and matinee performances, November 15. There was also a party after the evening performance, for the cast and crew members, at Mr. and Mrs. Rockey's home. The play centers around an old Yonkers mer- chant, Horace Vandergelder, who is very rich and decides to take a wife. Not having any luck at finding one, he hires a woman, a matchmaker, to find a wife for him. As every year, the cast, crew members, and direc- tor put in long, hard hours, but this year was especially difficult because of conflicts in sched- ules. Expressing her feelings, Julie Goss stated, I feel this was one of the better plays I've seen since I've been in high school. Becky Clary added, It was a lot of fun to improvise my character's actions. Crew Front Row: K. Needham, P. Clary, M. Jasper, B. Clary, Jonnette Smith, S. Theis, K. Roper, Michele Rooney, T.
