SENIOR PLAY The Senior play, “Man or Mouse,” was presented at the Clintonia Theatre April 25 and proved to be a great success. Russell Van Horn, the hero, was played by Jack Wagstaff. He and Joe Dawson, played by Delmar Murray, were both in love with Peggy Lou, Edna Kileen, and as a result of their jealousy a fight is staged in which Russel Van Horn was victorious. Some of the most impressive characters of the play were: Esco Rhea as Nippy Simpson, attendant of the hotel; Francis Gardner as Old Proby, the veteran of the battle of Gettysburg, who tells of his experiences during the battle; and Frank Rtindle as Constable Runkle, the law of the little city, who constantly boasts of his 20 years of service. Other characters of the cast were Floy Parker, Virginia Harmon, Bernard Kolp, Oressa Lynch, Martha Henson, Otha Polston, and Edna Frances Gano. The play had its setting in a hotel in the small city of Homestead. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Juniors presented their class play oi December 3. 1929 at the Clintonia Theatre.
