reaction after another shot at
enriching the lives of some of
our students.
Every year, when it's over,
I sign an oath in blood, sweat
and tears that I'll never eo it
again, And a year later, there
I am, up to my thick head in the
swamp of cultural enrichment.
It all begins innocently
enough, I learn that there is
going to be a production, in a
city theatre, of one of the plays
the kids are studying in school.
The date is a month away.
"Wouldn't It be grancl,"I coo
to myself, "if the youngsters
could see the real thing? It
would be an experience they'd
never forget, It would kindle
a real interest in the drama.
It would show them that Shake-

sad, funny, romantic, net just
a whole lot of stuff like rising
