PuscogolIa High School Senior Play
IS Acclaimed BY Capacity Audiences

Lovers Of the theatre were
served up a treat they acccptef
with much affection and content
last Thursday and Friday nights,
when the seniors of P~ascagoua
High School presented "Smilin'
Through a d oduction that gar
nered wide acclaim for itself
throughout the community.
Because the play was so entire
lv different from ell others, and
because no amount of effort,
time, or money was spared 10 It's
conception and presentation, II
was almost flawless in respect to
performances, setting, lighting,
direction, and general perfection
Expertly and beautifully direct
ed by Mrs. Ethel s. McPhcarsont
the EMOTIONAL touching story OF
two great loves that survived
bitterness and separation was re-
ceived with the mixed sentiments
Of JOY and sadness.
The second act Of the play took
place MY years previous 70 tliS
time of action OF the first ana
third. In that act. a nineteenth
century wedding was enacted
with costumes, and speech Of that
period predominating The novel
ness OF the wedding, which took
place through the audience, was
interesting and eye-eatching.
Sterling performances wee
handed in by all Of the p%rinci-
pals. According to members OF
the audience, which numbered
approximately 1000, with two
performances, Ann Gulley in the
part Of the whimsical Kathleen,
stood out as the best female per
former. Her delineation OF the
role was carried out with re-
straint and belieVeability Kath-
crime Wright in the role Of Moon
yeen, was lovely and excellent,
and was especially psaiseworthy
in her "ghost" scenes. Other fe-
male charactefizations were turn
