Stirring emotions and flashes of humor thrilled the audience of the senior class play, Silas Marnerf' by Wall Spence, presented on April 1 and 2. Directed by Adeline Hoegberg, the play exem- plified how the natural human desire for happiness can become distorted with constant rebuffs and frustration. Silas Marner, shunned and persecuted by his friends and the woman he loves, degenerates into a cold and grasping old miser. In time, even his love for gold, his only hold on happiness, was stolen from him and he was plunged into the darkest despair and misery. At the height of his anguish, his faith in humanity is restored by the redeeming touch of a pure and true love. Jane Gunn CMary Lindskoldl, Dolly Winthrop Uudy Mc- Donaldj, and Mary Gunn QKris Allenj look on as Silas Marner CRonnie Husmannj holds Eppie as a baby in his arms after finding her on his doorstep. iles Marner Presented by Seniors Martha Kimble fDonna Greimj, Godfrey Cass COtto Holmbergj, and Eppie CCarla johnsonj listen carefully to the words of Nancy Lammeter QMary Ann Larsonj.
