Shirley Swanson Walter Anderson Donald Diphaugh Herman Radig . Donna Werline Gordon Carlson Robert Larson The fall presentation of the Concordia College Theatre was The Winslow Boy by Terence Rattigan. The story's history is unusual in that it is based upon an actual court case in England. The story deals with a local scandal which develops to finally unveil a problem of social injustice in England during World War I. Ronnie Winslow CRobert Williamsj has been accused of a theft of a money order in school and expelled. Arthur Winslow, his father, fBjorne Aspj is convinced of the boy's innocence and carries the incident to court. The case exposes governmental, political frauds. Soon the whole parliament of the English system of government is involved in an event which becomes a peoples state. The action of the play describes the degrading effect the scandal has upon the Winslow family's social and mental health. 55

THE IK D0 Bob Van Alstine and Shirley Swanson, understudies. Walter' Anderson and Arlys Lindberg as Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum. As a result of interest among Concordia students, The Mikado, a light opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, was presented April sixth and seventh in the Moorhead Armory. The Mikado was directed and produced entirely by students. Bill Niebuhr was named musical director and production manager and Don Freeberg assisted him. One of the basic ideas behind the production was to provide an outlet for talent. Proceeds went to the fund for a future music hall to be erected on the Concordia campus. .
