IQQQCL A hush came over The audience, the lights were dimmed, and as the curtain parted, The hrst speech department play of The year was underway. As The audience listened, The story of Cheaper by the Dozen was unfolded before them. This was The story of The Gilbreth family which consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth and Their Twelve children. Bill Nelson and Betty Mattson did an excellent iob as Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth while The children played by Mary Mork, Bill Hunt, Alice Foley, Lois Reisberg, Jim Johanson, Jack Blesi, Judy and Lois Quickstrom, and Melvin Lofgren did Their best To make The play a humor- ous one. A budding romance is also evident in The play when boy friends, played by James Bouley and Dick Walter, come to court the Gilbreth girls. The next play was primarily a children's play by the name of Rum- pelstiltskinf' For the first time, a double cast of characters was used. The story was about a poor miller's daughter, played by Janelle Cass and Mary Fahey, who had to spin straw into gold or be put to death. Since the miller's daughter couldn't spin straw into gold, a little old man called Rumpelstiltskin, played by Betty Beck and Mary Jane Gibelyou, did it on the condition that the iniller's daughter would give him her first child. Other members of the play were as Mother Hulda, Eloise Petersen and Pat Kane, Miller, Bert Webster and Arden Hughes, and as King's Son, David Micheau and Dick Haugland. Shortly after the Christmas holidays were over, Miss Hoglund and The stu- dents concentrated on getting prepared for the speech contest. In the sub- district Anoka received ten superior ratings, placing the following contestants: Janet Reed and Dick Walter, discussion, Bill Hunt, extemporaneous speaking, Bert Webster, Mary Mork, and Barbara Brown, extemporaneous reading, Vir- ginia Jacobson, original oratory, Audrey Gow, Betty Mattson, and Mary Fraz- ier, declamcition. All in all The speech department has had an unusually successful year. This would not he true, however, if it were not for the able assistance given by Miss Hoglund.
