A broken stage banister, a modest profit in the treasury, and happy, but Weary smiles on the faces of cast mem- bers and stage hands Were the results ot the senior play, George Washington Slept Here. Numerous titters, giggles, and guffaws were provided by the creditable performances of the seven- teen grease-painted actors and actres- ses. Dettly manipulating curtains, ably controlling lights, and magically chang- ing scenes, the back stage Workers did their necessary bits toward making the play a success. l Checking Otto Sommer's outfit is Helen Sachs, while Roger Bauer waits his turn. Ken Vande Kopple produces sound effects, while Roger Versluis operates the lights. 13
