SENIOR PLAY CAST Katheryn McNeal, Theresa Haugo, Milton Homestead, Mabel Larson, LeRoy Rude, Milo Lokken, Elaine Bilstad, Calvin Andrist, Paul Nielsen, Shirley Riveland, John Allen. Seated, Elsie Hoversten. • HOBGOBLIN HOUSE” The Senior class play, entitled “Hobgoblin House”, a three act mystery was held on April 30, 1948. it was a very successful affair with a good performance turned in by all, along with the excellent coaching of our dramatic director, Mr. Hunt. Shirley Riveland, the cast’s sqreamer, “par excellence,” mace cold chills run down the spines of every one. Her blood curdling yelps were made even more realistic by the fluttery antics of those two fluttery females the Carter sisters, Marian and Jill, played by Mabel Larson and Elaine Bilstad, respectively. Delilah, the jovial negro mammy, played by Theresa Haugo, and Henry the handy-man-who-was-not-so-handy played by Milton Homestead, also did their share in making it realistic as well as contributing to the humorous side of the thing. Paul Nielsen, playing the part of Darius Krupp, did his best to scare the wits out of everybody with his spooky talk and actions. Katheryn McNeal as the “Henglish” maid, Susan, and Elsie Hoversten as the Carter sisters strict aunt, both did their best to provide the desired atmosphere by being bossy, stern, and scared out of their wits all at once. Cal Andrist, playing Bluebeard Bronson, who was supposed to be an escaped maniac, did his best to provide the atmosphere. Bill Wilkens, played by John Allen, was supposed to be a prison guard chasing Bluebeard, but was finally exposed along with Bluebeard and Krupp as a group of gangsters by the two dashing heroes of the play, who were the Carter sisters’ beaus; namely, Jack Loring and Frank Harlow, played by Milo Lokken and LeRoy Rude, respectively

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Standing: Jack Barrett, Pauline Power, Kay Gibbs, Crystal Sandwick, Erwin Lovdahl, Elaine Thvedt, Myron Bothun, Josephine Benson, Ardis Anderson, Seated: Delores Malnaa, Gloria Malnaa, John Andrist. “A LITTLE HONEY” “Yes,” As Diana (Pauline) meekly answers Tom (Jack) after the careful planning and cooperation of everyone but Mrs. Minton (Elaine) including a cake, candy, a dress, and even a baby. Tom has come back from China to find Diana in overalls and working at the Ashton Auto School. Scoots (Ardis) is very much concerned over her jumping frog, Pegasus, who wins her a puppy. Jerry (Gloria) usually gets what she wants and practically leads Albert (John) around by the nose. Grandma’s (Delores) big heart (and purse) seems to be able to fix everything. Mr. Minton (Erwin), a little on the henpecked side, is sought out, by the Southern and attractive Mrs. Tyler (Crystal). Delores (Josephine), though a very capable women, can’t seem to keep up with the family affairs as well as the want ads. Mrs. Simmons (Kay) seems to have trouble keeping Grandma, with her broken hip, in her wheel chair. While the Sure Shot Man (Myron), who exterminates bed bugs, consoles Mrs. Minton they are really nothing but woodticks. With the cooperation of Mr. Hunt, Miss Steinmeier and Mrs. Kirby, this three act comedy by William Davidson was a great success. The proceeds went toward the producing of the Junior-Senior Prom.
