 Ketf The Drama Club, Mask and Key, started this year off with a bright production of Gilbert Sullivan's musical comedy The Mikado . Gavin Tameris, Barbara Sutton, Dean Kennedy, Myrna Christian and Sheila Haggerty headed a large and bril- liantly costumed cast to bring this comedy to the stage. Delays in the delivery of the musical score by the printing company held up Mr. Lindelien till the cast under his direction had to scurry like mad to meet the deadline for staging this production. The Mask and Key selected the serious and very moving Lloyd C. Douglas play, The Robe , for the second stage pre- sentation. This play is a major effort for a large college and as such, was considered impossible for a small high school. The cast and stage crew overcame a great many problems and the play was presented for a two night run on April 11 and 12. The cast was carefully chosen and great stress was made by the direc- tor Mr. Crisman that this was not a COMEDY. The cast was large and included 31 people. The leads were John Botz as Mar- cellus. Bob Harper as Demetrius and Betty Carol Wade as Diana. The supporting players included Dallas Cason as the mad Emper- or Caligula and Bob Crouser as Senator Gallio. Chuck Whitte- more, Sheila Haggerty, Beverly Wade, Marlys Myers, Lois Smith, Myrna Poffenberger, Gayle Osbum, Jack Wood, Dean Kennedy, and Gavin Tameris also had supporting roles.
