TREMBLE, BUT WE SHOOK PEMBROKE'S SCHOOL

A large audience was shaking \\ ith laughter as members of the Junior Clas<..; play went through crisis after trtSI of "~e Shook the Family Tree." This \\US the fir t play to be pre ented on the new stage and the Juniors were very elated at its success.

Then as Seniors, they presented "Lock, Lock, and Lipslil k," a threoe-acl · comedy about a guidance counselor and his problem \\ith teachers. pupils, and even a new female counse­lor. \!though the stage floor was no longer new and shiny, the play cast retained its original gJO\\.

After this brief encounter with the world of the stage, all agree that "There's no business like show business."

orne of Pembroke's faculty members consider the office a com pia int department.

"Well, Mrs. Maggs, it looks like I'll have to give you an "F" on under-the-desk discipline."
