' HE evening of November 16, 1953, the windows of the high school auditorium reflected the familiar scenes of the play Little VVOIIICYIH by Louisa May Alcott. This heart warming story was presented by the junior class under the direction of Mr. Harold Petersen, new drama director. Starring in this production were Phyllis North as Jo, the oldest and the tomboy of the familyg Sally Jewell as Meg, the prettiest of the March sisters, Mary jane Weed as Amy. a most important person in her own opiniong Pat Solberg as Beth, shy-mannered, timid- Left to right-Salliypi Jewell, Sharon Davis, Mary Weed, P yllis North, Pa- tricia Solberg. with Amy. Bob Kruse played the part of Mr. Lawrence, kindly grandfather of Laurie, and Andy McMinimee interpreted Professor Rhaer, lovable German professor with whom Jo falls in love. Timing of the production was smooth, the stage pictures created were lovely, and the atmosphere of the Civil VVar period created in the first scene was sustained throughout the entire play. All these factors, so often missing in the average high school play, showed evidence of competent coaching on the part of the director. .49-
