juniar Enthusiastic audiences shook with laughter Nov. 12 and 13 when the JFNIOR CLASS presented Hil- degarde Dolson's three act rib tickler, We shook The Family Tree. The play found the basis of its hilarity in the zany actions of Hildegarde in relation to her date to the prom. Freddie, the lad with whom Hilde- garde had a date, was relegated to the low spot on the social totem pole because his parents made the poor chap wear knickers. To make matters worse, it appeared as if he would have to wear them to the prom. However, through various schemes concocted by the two teenagers, the situation finally looked better. Freddie got his suit and the audience- re- ceived more than a full share of entertainment. 611155 Flay ini Ca: CAST Bob ,Vc,,,s,,. ..,,s, , Lamoine Carmichael fimmy ,,s,s,,,,, ,,,s,s,,,,,,s,, , Billy Sigwing Hzldegard ,,,v,,,, ,,,,.. . ,Marlene Reiners Sally ,, ,,,,,s,,ss , ,, ,Wanda Rowland , . ,,i,,,, Robert Maag Mr. Dolson Mrs. Dolson Y,,,,,,,ss ,Barbara Ninemires Ellie May ,l,,l,l, ,, , Nancy Hubert jill ,Norma Lebsack Frerlflie , ,.., 7, ,, ,Tom Hizel Paige ,c,, ,,,s, D elores Cuellar Mrs. Sliermer ll,,ll,,,,,, Dian Wilcrax Mr. Shermer ,i,.
