Toad Takes Tour In Horseless Cart What do a toad, a mole, and a badger have in common? Unfortunate exploits, a passion for motorcars and a school play. Toad of Toad Hall based on the novel Wind in the Willows, was performed on May 2, 3, and 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Chugiak High School Auditorium. Rascally weasels, ferrets, and stoats capture Toad Hall, and Toad himself is jailed for speeding. Rescued by his friends. Toad learns the error of his ways. Thirty-seven talented Chugiak High students participated. Under the direction of Jenny Oilman, the performers rehearsed several hours every day except Sunday.
