Enthusiasm increased from day to day and soon the trip was assured with the signing up of over 475 students. Some junior high students and a few adults also made the trip. At North Platte many cars met the train and carried the students to the football field which was a considerable distance from the station, Classes bc- gan November 10 at 7:45 and school was dismissed at 9:45 so that students could make the 10:15 train. Highlight of the train ride was the food bar which proved to be a very popular place. Under Miss Moore's sponsorship the girls made 700 sand- wiches, sold 1,100 bottles of pop, 600 candy bars and plenty of apples. And they sold out of every- thing too! The game itself was a disappointment. After an impressive opening drive that was stopped on the 12 yard line, the Tigers never again threatened. It was the third straight conference championship loss for Hastings. The score was 12-0. ea, sfinfwgflfbltf' ' it Q 4 W, Missa' f fig f ,ara ieccftf f2,mLc,tf7gz,4,,. ma' Q 1,U'C2fvv!- Q 'Zi' ' U'- -, G ': fXaZff ' 1 6 s i-ve4 ? . g is A ' gill ' QA 1' ' l t Y' P ' 'Y 5 0 - ' li 1 ' , 5 2 s ,LQ ft if 1 .I-H R , s - ,P 1 I 1' 5 A! it ' 7 53?

Anna arrives in the port of Bangkok on the ship of Captain Orton, played by Rick Penney. She has come, with her son Louis, played by Don McCord, to be the teacher of the King's many children. She is met by the King's representative, the Kralahome, who is not too friendly. Against the advice of the Captain to return to Singapore, Anna and her son decide to remain. Anna conducts school for the children of the favoured wives. Her most important pupil is Prince Chululongkorn, played by Jeff Mill- hollin, and the son of Lady Thiang head wife of the King. Other children of the King were played by sons and daughters of faculty mem- bers. The King was a contradictory combina- tion of charm and cruelty, with a desire to have his country progress along lines of west- ern culture. One story which especially ap- pealed to the people was Uncle Tom's Cabin. In the picture dancers of Siam are acting out their interpretation of Uncle Thomas. The entire cast on stage for a last curtain call. The musical was one of the finest pro- ductions ever staged at Hastings High School. All characters were excellently cast and well coached. The portrayal of Anna by Marilyn Nelson was superior in every way. The audi- ence loved her and she richly deserved its ex- pression of approval. The acting of Jene Lau as the King was hardly less impressive. His choice for the part was excellent and he played it well. Glowing compliments could be paid to each of the other principal characters. In- deed, each and every person who had a part in the production should be complimented. To the actors, stage hands, makeup crews, scene painters, technical assistants of all kinds, and: Mr. Goodrich, Miss Jensen, Mr. Veberg, Mr. Shoemaker, and Miss Sheere Basset-congratu- lations. - 4 1 ' I 1 lllffli Hi 5
