RESULTS OF THE JUNIOR PLAY
The junior class presented a two-
act comedy. The Egg and I , on
November 30, Not only were the main
characters portrayed superbly, but the
so-called "less important" parts were
also played well, making the play a
■wonderful success. Every member of the
cast fitted his part like a bathing suit
fits Brigit Bardot, Our school is very
proud of this talented dass. However,
good the cast, no p^ay can be a success
without a good director, which we were
lucky to have had in Mrs. Wilkins. The
juniors are happy to report that their
performance brought in more dividends
than any other play Smithfield High
School has ever pres^ted.
