MISS EVELYN LINDSAY No production can hope to be successful without a guiding hand to help it over the hard spots, and finally to lead it to triumph when the curtain falls on the last act. Miss Lindsay, as our prompter, you willingly helped us prepare for our parts in this play, and for the biggest role which is yet to come. You were the unseen inspiration behind our show, directly responsible for its success. Without your endless patience, understanding, encouragement, and cheerfulness, we would have fallen far short of the goal we have striven for — to make our performance one to be long remembered. So to you, Miss Lindsay, our prompter, we present a bouquet of our gratitude, our admiration, and our thanks. 12
