A LAST WORD ABOUT THE
PLAN TONIGHT AT MANTEC
A Note of Comedy and Note of
Thanks From Jennette Cyercash
And Lois Sears

All hours of reckoning must
come and ours will fall on Friday,
the fifteenth of April at eight
o'clock in the evening, when "She
Stoops to Conquer" is put on at
the Manteo High School auditor
ium. After much frenzied sweat
ing and whip-cracking over reluc-
tant heads, the play is 1--WE ardent
ly hope) ready for the stage. And
since this will be the last article
you will see about this play, we
will give you a clue or two as to
what is going to happen on that
fateful night. This event will, as
you probably know, take place in
the school auditorium. This was
mainly due to the fact that we
want a small, select audience that
will only fill the auditorium at
first, so that we will know
whether it would profit US to take
it to Broadway. Now to the busi-
ness at hand-if you are apt to be
sour-faced and grim all the time
and don't want to be gay, happy,
and enjoying some rib-cracking
laughs, we'd advise you to stay at
home; cause when Arvin Midget,
(Tony Lumpkins, the little-cause-
of-it-al) steers a reckless course
in a carriage and after driving
fifty roundabout miles, deposits
his quacking mother in her own
horsepond; well you just gotta
laugh. But this isn't the only
giggle-getter in the play, you're
quite sure to find laughs of all
sizes, from filters to outlaws in
the dialogue of "She Stoops to
Conquer.
The laughs aren't the only
things we're pround of however,
there are some real accomplish
ments in stage settings, costumes,
and stage properties that you
must see. This may not be the
time for horn-tootin; but after
you see the play, spare moment
to appreciate the kids behind the
scenes: the stage crew, the make
up committee, the costume COM
mittee, the kids who have helped
in this advertising binge and to
all the people around the island
who have loaned us props, helped
us with costumes, and helped us
in many ways. And our sincere
and un-ending appreciation goes
to the staff of the "Times" who
have published in real courtesy
all the articles turned in to them,
| Again, and to all, Thanks,
Folks"
