By JOE BEAU-SEIGNEUR,
A little sixth grade girl,
wearing a loud, orange silk
dress, walked out on the stage
of a grade school auditorium
where a talent show was be
ing held.and proceeded to re
cite something —or other about
"DoWn to the sea in ships!" The
audience laughed. And with that
beginning, Jeannie Risler made
her comedy debut.
Still on Stage
. Sixteen shows and a bachelor's
degree in dramatics later, ' Miss
Risler, now a graduate student
in dramatics, is still keeping busy
with dramatics.
"I've really run quite a dra-.

phones' "Lysistrata" to "Pick Up
Sticks," last years' original Play

related as an interested crowd of
Players gathered around her chair

" `Lysistrata' fulfilled my sec
ret desire, anyway," she went on.
PI had always wanted to carry a

Was- my big chance." "No, `Ly-
Si.strate. wasn't on campus," she
;replied to• a question. "It was pre l
'serited at the Green Hills Theater
near Reading, when I was with
the 13erlts Players last summer."
