Crosby Seniors Stage
Excellent Class Play
Work Of Students Reflect SkiIfuI Coaching Of Miss
Marie G. Macdonald Director Get Ovation

One OF the neatest performances
Of the senior dramatic society Of
Crosby high school in years was
given last night at the Women,s
club auditorium with the presenta-
ton Of what q Lifel"
The comedy, dealing with the life
Of a high school boy was Of course
an appropriate selection by the
Mask and Wig society because II
anyone should know about these
troubles, high school students are
the ones.
However, similarity Of environment
and experience between the play
ers and the characters they portray
Is not the only requisite for q goot
performance. Much Of the credit
goes to Miss Marie @. Macdon-
nell's capacity for adroit selection
Of the cast and the hard work re.
quired TO groom thhe actors itnt
the seemingly easy-fitting roles
which they portray so well last night
Theme Of Story
The play, briefly, dealt with tn,
serio-comic figure Of Henry Aldrich
the adoloscent. william Saroyan
recent winner Of the Pulitzer prize
described his high school days al
the time when he was q boy wht
was always In trouble, trouble a.
home, trouble In school, trouble u
his heart" This phrase, In a nut
shell, described the predicaments o.
Aldrich, who slipped from trouble
to trouble until he found himself
the center Of O tragedy. However
he Is eventually extricated; HI
dates his girl for the school dance
and the curtain comes down on
happy ending.
Written BY Clifford Goldsmith
the play has become q classic II
the sense of the realism with which
high school life Its pettiness, ant
occasional grandeur, the lives o.
principals and teachers are por.
trayed.
The role Of Aldrich was played b,
Kenneth Smith, who was In full
command Of the difficult part from
curtain To curtain. Other leads wert
played by Betty Cowperthwait q,
Henry's heart interest or trouble
and by Cynthia Rittenband, as thu
secretary to the principal.

Ing performances and the speed Of
