MAKE-UP is applied by Mr. Frank Lambrett-Smith, with the assistance of the Mother’s Club. In the above picture Mrs. Pierce gives Arthur Tomlin- son the final touch. In The Man Who Came To Dinner, the mothers made up over twenty boys. This number was done for Julius Caesar. LIGHTING is very important to the Drama productions. Here S. Keilty replaces a bulb. Stagehands include F. Laurillard (Stage manager for Julius Caesar), B. Pedersen, G. Hepworth, G. Kilbride, G. Stromme, T. Colgur is the sound technician. Lighting is under the supervision of Mr. G. McChance. THIS MIGHTY CROWD marked the evening of the Christmas concert. The gymnasium con tained over seven-hundred people, all gathered together for the occasion and comprised mainly of students, parents, clergy ,and friends of the school. They enjoyed one hour of miscellaneous talent climaxed by the presentation of The Man Who came To Dinner, which ran ninety minutes. THE DIRECTOR, Mr. Frank Lambrett-Smith, in his fifth year here, masterminded three produc- tions this year. In the Jr. Drama Group he was assisted by Mr. Phillips, and the Sr. by Br. Reilly. THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER” (Bob Olsen), delayed at the Stanley’s home because of a broken leg, is intruded upon by Harriet Stanley (Arthur Tomlinson). Many of these hilarious moments occurred throughout the play and left the audience appreciative of the Junior Drama Group. ANOTHER CALAMITY, arises when Sheridan Whiteside attempts to give a Christmas Eve radio speech. From left to right on the stage are; Charles Harrington (radio technician), Bob Olsen (Sheridan Whiteside), Peter Cavenaugh (Mrs. Stanley), and George Perry (Doctor Bradley). 23

DRAMA (CONTINUED) NEMESIS revenges the death of Caesar as Brutus falls on his sword held by Strato (Charles Harring- ton). But even Marc Anthony said, This was the noblest Roman of them all . . . This was a man.” THE DEATH of the conspirators is planned by two members of the Triumvirate, Octavius Caesar (G. Perry), and Marc Anthony (P. Durkin). Above they check off the names of those doomed. IN BRUTUS’S ORCHARD Portia (Terry Camp- bell) declares her love for Brutus and her grave concern over his weak condition. Although she suspects a conspiracy she is helpless and dies. SPEAK HANDS FOR ME.” The signal from Casca (R. Everbush) brings the conspirators upon Caesar, daggers stabbing. In despair he seeks Brutus who thrusts his dagger into him. Caesar staggers and falls, crying out, Et tu Brute, then fall Caesar.” With this fall, The Roman Empire also fell. NO NOT AN OATH . . . Brutus (Owen Foran) implores the conspirators; from left to right, D. Brutus (W. Crutchly), Casca (R. Eversbush), Cinna (P. Leclaire), M. Cimber (T. Sebal), and Cassius (W. Biggin). These blood- thirsty men, intent on Marc Anthony’s death, are finally restrained by Brutus. TYRONE COLGUR, sound technician provides background for the play. For the battle scenes the sound used was that of bombs and guns. This was the first time, in the west, that this type of play was presented in this media. Julius Caesar was presented in modern ' dress and unique sound effects were used. GERRY HEPWORTH assists Gail McCance (from TUTS) on lighting board. Lighting played a strategic part in the play as it provided atmosphere through out. Whether to bring out the brilliance of the costumes or to accent the acting it was excellent. All these combined to make Julius Caesar a masterpiece.
