l Senior Class Remlitiun of Brnadwalj Pla ,HIS year's Senior Class play, The Night of January the Sixteenth, once again scored a first in Tacoma high school drama. Two years ago Wilson was the first to use theater- in-the-round in a high school production, in this year's courtroom drama the Class of '61 selected members of the audience to serve as the jury. The final decision was left to the jury, and consequently the cast was required to learn two different endings to the play. Taking place entirely within the courtroom, this three-act presentation was under the direction of Mr. Morris Summers. Cast as the two counselors in the murder trial of Karen Andre were Lyle Phelps as District Attorney and Larry johnson as Attorney for the Defense. Penny Cameron play- ed the defendant, and a cast of 21 other seniors supported the three major roles. During the first act the District At- torney presented his case against Miss Andre, on trial for the murder of Bjorn Falkner, her employer for many years. The defendant appeared guilty until the second act, when the Defense Attorney presented his case and evidence was raised in Miss Andre's favor. In the third act a climax of conflicting evidence was reached and the jury was con- fronted with a difficult decision. When the jury finally pre- sented its decision of 'inot guilty, mingled feelings of satisfaction and disappointment of the ending of the trial were in evidence both on the stage and in the audience. A capable group of behind-the-scenes dramatists sup- ported the large cast of actors. The stage crew, headed by Roger Nace, constructed the courtroom set design, and, considering Wilson's lack of a proper stage, the crew did a superior job using the available facilities LARRY IOHNSON LYLE PHELPS Mr. Stevens Mr. Flint Ninety-Eight PENNY CAMERON DAYTON FINNIGAN Karen Andre Larry Regan ll
