”Get Together" Love is but a song we sing Fear is we will die. You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry. Know the dove is on the wing And you may not know why.

Some may come and some may go We will surely pass. When the one who left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass.

Underneath the comedy there's a real concern on the part of the faculty and students to teach and to be taught. The play is based on the story by Bel Kauf— man. Director Miss Tina Scherr and studentdirector Cindy Wichert helped to make this play a success. The play was staged November 12, 13, and 14 in the Little Theater.

Alice (Margie Houlihan) is the only one who has her assignment completed. The others seem to be less than concerned about their assignments.

Miss Barrett fails once again in her effort to help Joe Ferone (Mark Umatum). A cold shoulder is his only response.
