Martha Somer, Irene Poledna, Marshall Cook, Lotus Maack. Lumir Pospishil, Roberta McDonald. Grace Sass, Helen Grosse, Robert Heilman, Luella Piper. Dolores Goranson, Grace Dewitz, Leslie Stoltz-man, Irene Mack. The Juniors made a very creditable appearance in their n'ay, “Anvzon Isle,” presented to a large audience February 25. Miss Hurdur.i, lh« ‘ lass spo.uor and director of the play, received a gift from the Juniors in appreciation o: h •»• v;o-l . The action at first centered around a masquerade at the home of the self-made millionaire, Quackenbush, well played by Robert Heilman. Assisting him as hostesses were his two charming daughters, Rose and Violet, played by Clara Hensel and Grace Sass, and his sister, Daffy, Cora Frankfurt. Simpson, his secretary, George Gals ter, and the “black boy,” George, the butler, Marshall Cook, also were deeply tangled in the plot. Guests at the party were Reggy, the lazy one, Leslie Stoltzman, the Squire from Onion Center, Lumir Pospishil (and we’ll long remember that bouncing hat); his niece. Pansy, Dolores Goranson; and the astronomer, Jack Dawes, played by Elmer Pahl. (Probably the first time Elmer ever turned an eclipse). The entire party was transferred to a South Sea Island of Tom-Tom, in the last two acts where all were busy treasure hunting. Here they encountered a band of fierce armed savages, headed by the general Bula-Bula, Lotus Maack, and the Queen, Lula-Palaza, Irene Poledna. The colorful scenes, brilliant costumes, and the appropriate music by the high school orchestra added much to this successful production. Pag-' Eighteen
