MR. GEORGE F. WRIGHTSON Without a qualified and experienced director no production is capable of a begin¬ ning, much less of a completion. Thus, to you must go whatever praise we may receive, for in your hands has lain the responsibility of developing a polished performance. With unlimited patience and understanding you have lent a firm, helping hand to our undertakings — co-ordinating our actions and directing our talents into creative forms. At times chastising, always encouraging, you have guided the staging of our play from open¬ ing night through the last encore. To you, Mr. George F. Wrightson, our conscientious and loyal director, whose efforts have so often been seemingly unnoticed and unrewarded, we, the Class of 1959, express our most sincere appreciation for the role you have played in making our drama a success. 9

MR. ARTHUR E. BURKE The curtain draws to a close, the cast file offstage amid a spontaneous ovation, and then, as the spotlight grows dim, and darkness engulfs the theater, the final performance becomes but a memory, for the play is over. Backstage in the shadows of the wings, stands the producer, the key that every play must have to unlock the door that holds the magic of success. You have been our producer, Mr. Burke, standing behind us through each scene, each act. Now, we, the cast, would like the footlights to glow once more in order that you might take your much deserved curtain call. 8
