THE JUNE PLAY—1953
Last year the annual June play was Shakespeare’s ''As You Like It.” When the day of presentation arrived every eye was directed towards the heavens, for the play was to be outdoors. The sun smiled; all was well. Dinner time approached, clouds gathered,
distant rumblings smote our ears. The school squinted at the skies, and shook its head. The play would be given on the morrow. The morrow arrived dripping with sunlight. The sun grinned broadly. Towards sunset it started to drizzle. Moving vans, buses, and
cars were called. Chairs were piled wildly into the vans, screaming girls with rumpled costumes were hustled into the buses and cars. Down at the day-school, Mr. Addoms, the hero of the day, was rapidly turning a perfectly blank stage into a verdant wood. Things were pushed hastily into order, and the cast organized.
Then the rest of the audience arrived, and the curtain rose. It was as if the produc­ tion had been intended for the smaller indoors stage. Calm and unflustered actors swiftly adapted themselves, and the play went on. It was charming and very well acted. Mrs. Addoms and the cast had worked hard, and despite difficulties and upsets, 'their work was a grand success.
