Saves Dogpatch Despite these difficulties, and a few more on the nights of performance, (lights going out, people on crutches, zippers coming down) the play went very well. Daisy didn't have to marry Earthquake, Bullmoose ended up In jail, and Abner saved the day with his Yokumberry Tonic. Senior, Andy Oliver, who played Abner, commented on his feelings about his first play. I was happy, and proud of mvself. But, I realized the huge responsibilty I had. Sometimes I got really tense, but 1 made it! When it was all over, senior, Wendy Jackson, four year actress and drama member, summed up the feelings of most of the seniors. I felt really sad. I will sure miss all of this. We were like family! The Scragg's (Chris Jacobs, Tim Miller, and Duane Kautz) sing their part in A Typical Day.
