The second all high school play, The Curious Sav- age, a comedy by John Patrick, was directed by Miss Marilyn Ryden. The play was set in an exclu- sive home for the mentally disturbed, The Clois- ters. The guests of the home were Florence, played by Joyce Bergg Hannibal, Gary Luckowg Fairy May, Nancy Hansong Jeffrey, Bob Barsalouxg Mrs. Paddy, Janet DeBoer. Mrs. Savage was played by Marilyn Anderson, and the members of her family were Ti- tus, Leslie Gorderg Samuel, Ross Dewhurstg Lily Belle, Kirsten Halvorsen. Members of the sanitor- iumi' staff were Mary Casmey as Miss Wilhelminag and Lynn Ash as Dr. Emmett. The play gives a won- derful impression of how the guests of The Clois- tersu see themselves in comparison to how those from the outside see them. It is a comedy with a dramatic impact.
