Oh sure, it was hectic at times, like Mike's millions of lines to memorize, breaking in a new make-up crew, who did a really good if not GOOPY job, all that sticky gray hair spray (Yuk!) and trying to teach Neil to say Irrelevant ; but those only made it all the more exciting. With Miss Garner behind us (what strength!) all the way, we worked and memorized, and shook like leaves on opening night. Hugs all around and whispers of Break a leg, and we were on. With the help of Mr. Farlow, Rev. Merriman, and Mr. Drill and his famous tech crew, we did a really good job that night. After the house had cleared and the make-up was Noxemaed off, we all breathed a big sigh of relief and said Thank God it's over, and secretly, Thank God there will be another play next year! a fl U f I • • • • = sz ii ff • f f f • f • • s= = f f • • = — ff • • Although the props were few the message was conveyed vividly through the talents of the cast.

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away. . . . Henry David Thoreau Mike Richardson, junior, captivated the audience with his portrait of Henry David Thoreau in the play The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail.” Mike said he had no difficulty memorizing 91 pages of script and his performance was proof of that. He was as professional as Broadway. ABOVE CAST MEMBERS SEATED IN FRONT ROW LEFT TO RIGHT: Eric Hyland, Williams; Lisa James, prompter; Nina Cochran, Asst. Director; Tom Dillow, John.
