‘Spoon Kim’ an artistic success Spoon River Anthology was Byron's fall play present- ed Nov. 15 and 16 to less-1 ha n- capacity crowds. Based on po- ems by Edgar Lee Masters and adapted by Charles Aidman and Naomi Caryl Hirshhorn. the play revolved around peo- ple from Spoon River telling their stories from the grave. Rock Valley's Mary jo Thacka- berry directed the play. Stu- dent director, junior Heidi Byrd, thought the play went very well, considering the short amount of practice time and small size of the school. Reviews were favorable, call- ing the production most en- joyable. Top left, ken Hetzei and Hope Jeter mime the song fair Maiden and the Soldier. Top right.
