i I J J Seniors, Last Stop eus Stop, the 1985 Senior Play, was presented by the Senior Class and Mr. Ron Proctor. Senior Class sponsor. March 7 and 8, 1985. in the Dickinson High School auditorium. The play ' s author is William Inge. The entire three act play takes place in a small-town restaurant in Kansas. Because of harsh weather, the bus line which stops at Grace ' s Diner periodically is stranded for the night until roads are re-opened. During this time. Bo (Chris Stegall) is changed from an arrogant, bullying cowboy into a humbled child with the help of Will (Todd Gupton) . the sheriff of the town, and Virgil (Doug Burmaster) . Bo ' s friend, by the love of Cherie (Bethanay Fitch) . the woman Bo loves. Dr. Lyman (Mark Lear) , a drunken, psychotic pro- fessor, steals the show with his drunken antics and in- nocent seduction of Elma (Jan Bryant) . the sweet and naive high school girl working at the restaurant as a waitress. Grace (LeAnne Shoemaker), owner of Grace ' s Diner, watches out for Elma as well as Carl (Larry Gregory) . the bus driver. The play never had a dull moment! Thanks to the ex- ceptional acting of the cast members and the stage direction of Student Director. Claire Borne. Also aiding in much of the organizational duties for the play were Stage Manager Ivan Yanasak. Set Director George Marchette. Terry Mayfield. women ' s understudy, and behind the scenes, pulling the curtain string, was Marc Schooley. Although the cast, prop, set, and publicity crews worked very hard on the production of Bus Stop, the success of the play can be attributed to Mr. Ron Proc- tor, whose time and guidance were motivation for all those involved. Bo (Chris Stegall) gives Chene (Bethany Fitch) a big ■ ' smacki Chris Stegall seems to be calm, cool, and collected on opening night. Dr Lyman (Mark Lear) doesn ' t seem to t e feeling any pain.
