One Act Play Takes First in State! Perils of Priscilla Harlowe Starbuck. Smedley Smidgin. Priscilla.......... Miss Tyler . . . . Jenny ............. Becky.............. Freckles .......... Director........... DeWayne Anderson Bill Paterson Diane Wolkovv Peggy Osvog Gail Swenson Beth Kazmerzak Stan Steffensen Mrs. Furney Priscilla, young school marm, returns to her home town to care for her crippled niece, Becky and to fill the position vacated by the kidnapped, kindly, old Miss Tyler. Smedley Smidgen, who swindles money from unsuspecting school marms, murders Miss Tyler and attempts to take advantage of Miss Priscilla. Jenny witnesses the mur- der and enters into a horrible trauma. Harlowe Starbuck, in love with Priscilla, saves her from the clutches of Smedley and kills the evil villain. The reward money pays for Becky's operation and Harlowe and Priscilla live hap- pily ever after. On the evening of the local one- act play contest, a state champ was born. Perils of Priscilla, our Baby, captured top honors and went to regional competition in Water- town. Lightning struck again as the LPHS cast received a superior rating. Bill, Diane, DeWayne, Gail, and Stan were honored with superior in- dividual awards. State contest here we come! This was the motto as the Perils of Priscilla reached the ultimate climax by taking the top awards in Sioux Falls. 27

In the beginning, there was rock. Then someone invented the wheel, and things really began to roll! Under the direction of Mildred Furney, Patricia Anderson, Jane Wendell, and Nancy Carmody, the Lake Preston play cast presented ROCK-N-ROLL. Having great musical talent in the school, it was decided to put on a musical, which was a great success. As the story opens, Johnny Saphire was the single attraction on the spot-lit stage. Backed up by the pit band, he sang the opening song to throw open the curtains and get the show on the road. Corndoggie tries to fortell the future and gets himself messed up. After getting a date with Betsy Lou, the campus queen, to the Prom, he has a dream of a car accident that was going to happen on the way home. Everything finally worked out after Darlene and Bumpers tell Betsy Lou that everything that Corndoggie dreams comes true sooner or later. After many unannounced love affairs, everyone gathers down at Pop's Pop Shop for the GRAND FINALE. The last song is sung by Da Wheels, the jocks, the rally girls, the twins, Mannfred, Duffy, Louise, and Bumpers . The refrain, sung by Betsy Lou and Corndoggie, brings a fantastic climax to the musical.
