3 an -..Kasu- Q . if fx, Playwright Edward Streeter's Father of the Bride, the junior play presented in the spring of 1956, is a comedy about an engagement, a large wedding, and a father who is flat broke. Adding to the confusion are relatives, caterers, and guests in the drama directed by Mr. Harry Lindberg and managed by Mrs. Myrtle Olson. A Gilbert and Sullivan operetta favorite, The Mikado, was staged by the vocal music department in the fall of 1956. Nanki-Po, runaway son of the emperor, is in love with Yum- Yum, who is betrothed to Ko-Ko, her guardian. After many difficulties, love triumphs, and the prince is reconciled with his father. Vocal music director was Mr. Floyd Ohlsong dra- matics, Mr. Harry Lindberg, and orchestra, Mr. Donald Zim- merman. TOP LEFT: Disgusting, isn't it? sneers Mahlon Molsberry, who plays Tommy Banks in Father of the Bride. His older brother, played by Ronny Henbest, doesn't seem to be aware of Tommy's exist- ence as he's too interested in Peggy Swift, played by Mary Canfield. CENTER LEFT: Student Co-director Tom Canfield groans under the weight of the many packages that he and Co-director Marjorie Hodges have collected for the play as Marge checks the list again. BOTTOM LEFT: Buckley Dunstan, played by Everett Thomas, shakes one of the many wedding presents and tries to guess its contents. Delila, the maid, and Kay Banks, the future bride, are equally curious. Debby Highland portrays the maid, and Hila Muhl, the bride. BOTTOM CENTER: Eek! screams Stanley Banks, as his wife Ellie dictates to his secretary, Miss Bellamy, more names to the list of wed- ding guests. Dennis Hunt enacts Mr. Banks, Bonnie Anderhub, Mrs. Banks, and jean Davis, Miss Bellamy. 1
