All the students from the school took part either singing, acting or helping on stage. The weeks before were taken up with rehearsals at lunch- times, after school and during lessons. Nearly all the teachers helped, making scenery, teaching us the songs and helping on the stage, though some teachers probablyfeltlikegivinguponusat times. The competition between the Form 1's was good, especially for the winning Form 7C and a special thanks to Mrs. G. Furlong, Mrs. A. Furlong, Miss Reitze and Miss I Clancy.
