The senior class, under the direction of Miss Maddox, presented the fam- ous play Little Women, from the book of the same name by Louisa Mae Alcott. Little Women' is a story which deals with the greatest of human emotions - a mother's love for her children and their appreciation of it, and her. Each character lived in your heart after seeing them portrayed on the stage. No one will ever forget the romping, tomboy Jo played by Grace Mc- Williamsg the oldest sister Meg played by Shirley Bensong Amy played by Peggy Strobergg quiet, understanding Beth played by Betty Lou Ander- song and loving, always present Marmee, so aptly played by Marjorie John- son. Then there was Laurie, played by Jack Eatong John Brooke, the man Meg falls in love with, Kenny Wilhelmg Aunt March, with her crochety croakings, Shirley Marcusg Father March played by Don Brungardg and, of course, there is Professor Bhaer, the man in Jo's life, played by Jim Beets. All in all this year has been somewhat filled with worthwhile contribu- tions. We are sure no one will soon forget any of these as they were some of the bright spots of the year.
