BOB FRISTROM :Ze OLY TEC :Ze CLASS PLAY First Row-Duncan, Gossler, Ostroot, Strellman, Olson, Fristrom, Second Row-Schafer, Mussleman, Torkildson, Melvin, Swift. Friday, December 8, was a gala night at the Benson Auditorium, at least for the Ianuary 1940 seniors. This particular evening, as you probably know, was the night that Seventeen, the lan. '40 class play, was presented. Much ot the credit due for the success of the play is to be given to Mrs. Smith, director of the play, and her able assistant, Miss Pliter. Seniors should be proud to have such an eminent producer and director for their play, as Mrs. Smith's fame is tar-flung in connection with the theatre. Most ot her attentions were concerned in training Bob Fristrom, as talented a leading player as seen in Benson for a number of years, the result of which was a brilliant characteriza- tion by Mr. Eristrom as Willie. The girls, already trained dramatists, all turned in exceptionally fine performances, among them being the brilliant acting of Pat Ostroot as lane, Alberta Olsen as Mrs. Baxter, Muriel Strellman as Lola Pratt, and Charlotte Gossler as Mary Parcher. Other notables who turned in fine performances are Walter Torkildsen as Mr. Parcher, Don I-Honey as Mr. Baxter, Dick Duncan as Genesis, Scotty Melvin as Iohnnie, George Musselman as loe, Lowell Swift as George, Larry Schafer as Wallie, and Susan Berst, Beverly Beale and Betty Stephenson. The seniors also have their hats off to the cast, stage crew, electricians and all others concerned with this magnificent production, and the lan.
