JUNIOR PLAT The junior play, We Shook The Family Tree, left the audience bubbling with laughter. Attractive Hildegarde, (Joyce Hoeger) who decides she no longer wants to be a wallflower, nearly turns the town upside down with her plans to attain a date for the prom. Sally, (Shirley Krueger) her younger sister, aids and abets Hildegarde even though she usually mimics her. Bobby, (Dick Roseriboom) the older brother, has a passion for fishing; Jimmy, (Bill Hoelscher) another brother, invents various hilarious gadgets such as the electric wormer. Mother (Barbara Warder) and father (A1 Gerbracht) are two parents with their hands more then full as a result of Hildegarde's actions. Mr. and Mrs. Shermer (Don Hubly and Thelma Ringo) practically ruin the life of their nice son by making him wear knickers. Freddy (Alan Baltz) wishes that knickers had never been invented so as not to hinder his attentions toward Hildegarde. Ellie May, (Marie Close) who wraps Bob around her little finger, and Jill (Amy Clester) are constant companions. A mischievous child (Arthur Cording) adds to the numorous situation by playing postman with old love letters.
