Hasty Heart Being the lost three-act production of the year was by far no handi- cap to Hasty Heart. This comic-drama starred Warren Chick as Lachie, a Scot who did not know he was going to die. He is sent to an army hospital in India, ln this hospital the five other male patients and nurse try to befriend him, but Lachie thinks he does not need their friendship. This presentation, although tilted with comic moments, brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. Just as in the senior play last year, males dominated the cast. Playing the only female part was Sue Goates, as the nurse that Lachie falls in love with. Adding to the humor of the play was Paul Wood, as Tommy the Englishman. Ken Del Conte played the part of the typical American soldier, Yank. His wit and sincerity, combined with the other character ports of the play, made this one of the best performances that MHS thespians have attempted. The Senior Class presented this play in April. A performance was given for Monroe Junior High School, a matinee for Monarchs, and two night presentations. Student directors for this play were Martyn Agens and Dave Marshall.
