| "The wind blew and snow fell on a freezing evening as the
Senior class presented "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. The date
was January 22nd and 23rd and the setting was Salem, Massachusetts, with
witch craft, superstition, and even aparations controlling an audience
in awe.
Under the direction of Miss Shirlee Then, The Class of '65 executed a professional performance. Despite the detrimental weather, heavy crowds acclaimed the performance with standing ovations. Thus the fine work of the cast and the hard-working crews were complimented for a job well done!" (from the yearbook) One of the notable facts about this production was that the boys were given special dispensation to grow their hair longer than school rules usually allowed. Thank you to Jim & Chandra Griffin for the program copy J. |
