Jo Ann Maggiore and Terry Hugg scored in their short but important roles as Rebecca Gibbs and Wally Webb, Your reviewer should not fail to mention the important character roles of Mrs. Soames and Simon Stim- son, so splendidly enacted by Dorothy Bordenave and Errol Dauenhauer. In the supporting roles, Edward Evans, Kenny Plaisance, EmilY'3 Famous Somoqul' Ronald Wahl, Alvin Rink, Marie Giardina, Earl Legendre, Richard Lemmon and Lois Larose were quite good. As a matter of fact, the large supporting cast was uniformly good and contributed substantially to the play. Your reviewer feels that the Speech Department has kept the high standards for play production which it itself set with last year's production of Cradle Song, All concerned with Our Town unselfishly sacrificed long hours of their time to bring their audience a most rewarding experience. Their only reward is the feeling of satisfaction in having done their difficult jobs so well. They are a credit to the school and can justifiably feel proud ofthemselves. Your reviewer feels that he speaks for the entire school when he salutes the people of Our Town. Mr. and Mrs, Webb if I 14 NWS? 1-'Ha Qs Funer31 Scene Friends converse after choir practice.

Stage Manager Tommy Callegan Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs having breakfast. ft Reviewer: KENNETH BYRNE The Speech Department followed last year's successful Cradle Song with the challenging but beautiful Our Town, a play which reaches into America's past and pre- sents in a moving and dramatic manner a way of life which, unfortunately, no longer exists in our troubled times. The cast, under the able direction of Mr. Howard, had an amazing ESPRIT DE CORPS. They seemed to be enjoying the play tremendously. The lighting, the background music, and the sound effects, under the capable direction of Mr. Magendie and Mr. Donner, ably assisted backstage by Charles Case, Chad Donnes, and Louis Fournier, were effec- tive and added much to this quality production, The costumes made by the Home Economics Department were excellent. In the unduly long Stage Manager's role, Tommy Calegan gave an outstanding performance. Not only was he line per- fect, but he was also completely in character throughout the play. His performance was all the more remarkable when one considers that he was a dramatic novice performing one of the most difficult roles in the American theater. In the other important leading roles, Gail Borchers as Mrs. Gibbs, lane Trosclair as Mrs. Webb, Tom Naff as Dr. Gibbs, and Gary Dufour as Mr. Webb were standours. Diana Wright and Colin Taulli were a wonderful team as the teenage lovers, George and Rebecca getting ready for school. Dr. Gibbs gives advice to son, George.
