On November 18 and 19, the Junior class pre- sented its annual play, “Feudin’ Over Yonder, under the direction of Miss Myrand. It was a hill- billy production, rich in the humor of the Ozark Mountains. The plot revolved around the Popoff family and the Fry family who have been feuding for years. Rosie Belle Fry (JoAnn Clementson), being handy with a gun, decides she is going to put an end to the feud but soon she falls in love with Zeke Popoff (Jerry Sommervold), Emmy Fry's (Beverly Herbrandson) boyfriend. In the end, the feud is over and the Fry family and the Popoff family become friendly hillbillies. Other mem- bers of the cast were: Muriel Jacobson (Ma Fry), Stuart Leafstedt (Pappy Popoff), Donowan Larson (Izzie Fry), Bernard Hansen (Clem Fry), Loree Olson (Aunt Harry Hornhonker), Kent Hammer- strom (Willie Hornhonker), Dave Lappegard (The travelin preacher), Sandra Stene (Mountain Mag- gie), Mona Larson, Twila Buum, Norma Abraham (wedding guests), and Eldon Newberg, Lowell We- trosky, Lloyal Saugstad, Marla Shuck (Musicians). 1.
