Play light, By Adrian Haile Key for Iwo is not a- serious play.- It reveals little of the human condition and does not explore per- sonal relationships. , It bears the stamp of the "well -mode: play.' re- viled by modern dramatists. It is a formula made to sell Accordingly, Key for Two must be judged on its mass appeal rather than artistic integrity. Harriet, played by Jo -Anne Kir- wan 'Clark, is a kept • woman in • Brighton.

Rev. (Daddy Duke) Vipperman was direc- tor, ably' assisted by Rev. Stan Des- jardine (Church of God) and Rcv.. Bob Peebles, (United). The theme for this year was "Champions for Jesus" based on the Olympics, with the material provid- ed by Standard Publishing Compa- ny. There were over 50 children en- rolled, their numbers fluctuating throughout the week. The Junior class (grade 5-6) was the largest, about 14 children, with about 10 each in Middlers (grade 3- 4) and Primary (grade 1-2). The pre- schoolers (age 2-4 year olds) varied in number from 8 to 12 in a class, requiring -several extra teacher's helpers! Each class had two volunteer teachers, with Janet Kobe helping with games and "Daddy Duke" Vip- perman leading the singing on his guitar. Thcrc wereseveral teacher's_ helpers, and the Anglican ladies pro- vided snacks for the group. During the daily.classes, the chil- dren worked on crafts, learned Bible lessons, enjoyed outdoor games, and fell_ in love with an appealing pup- pet called "Spunky", an Eaglet. He encouraged them to be a champion for Jesus, to "stretch your wings and fly with me." The program ended on Friday with a special performance for the par- ents, to show what they. had learned. Many thanks to all the parents and students, to the teachers, helpers, snack providers, and to the mini- sters, for cooperating to create a memorable summer experience for arca children.
