This year's Homecoming Play, "The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners." by Reginald Rose and adapted,to television by Kristin Sergel, held in the Cedarcliff High School Auditorium,, was under the capable direction of Mrs. Maddox, a faculty member from our speech department. The uniqueness of the play was evidenced by the. aweinspiring effect it had on the audience without the aids of costumes or scenery. As the play opened, a group of parents of the high school students were gathering for a program which had been prepared by the students for their parents. As, the program progressed the parents began to realize the seriousness in purpose of the young people. The involvement of both the students and the parents in community progress was made apparent in the need of solving the problem of placing the responsibility of a tragedy in the community. Dave Carpenter. as Mr. Kovalesky — the janitor of the high school, maintained his pose as a benevolent grayheaded old man very convincingly throughout the entire play. Lois Duddleston, as Elizabeth — Kovey's defense attorney, showed startling intensity in her dynamic plea on behalf of Kovey, Dave Warren, as Mr. Woodbridge — principal of the .high school, did an excellent job in portraying the dignity and authority of such an important position. Since it would be impossible to commend each of the twenty-six characters personally on this page, may it suffice to lust say that each did a very fine job of maintaining a distinct personality, and the contrast between the behavior of the adults and the students was also presented very nicely.
