Look how many students are cutting out of class. We re going to have to start cracking down around here. Up the Down Staircase was the first Se- nior play in 5 years to reap a profit from the hard work and effort invested in it by the cast. Rebecca Lemkin’s starring role as Sylvia Barrett was convincing and the cast was supported by Helen Lidstrom, Mark Gillum, and Michael Lee Davis. They worked long hours and many days to achieve their end product — one of very few, successful senior plays. 25
