              Senior Play Is Mostly
Work—Little Play
Participants ln the senior play
are learning that the theater
isn't all the glamor it seems. It
Is hard work, as Ann LaPrell as
Miss Nancy Remington and Susie Bettls as Mrs. Ourney, two
of the leading actresses, will
testify. Perfection takes endless
hours of rehearsal and more rehearsal.
These days, when the sun Is
bright and the breezes are warm,
these people are not to be envied!
