Jas. mf N12 Aww People The disappearance of Bruce So- pher's shoulder length blonde hair became a perplexing puzzle for the audience of the junior Class play. In order to play his part in character, his real hair was braided and tucked under a dark short cut wig. The result being a very real disguise for both family and friends who came to see the play. The plot of Twelve Angry People included the trial of a young boy who was thought to have murdered his father. All but one juror are posi- tive of the boy's guilt at first, but they soon are swayed back and forth from innocence to guilt by the opposing jurors. Debbie Thomas proved the boy's innocence by reenacting a key witness' evidence and shows how in- valid the testimonies are. The cast, directed by Mr. Omer Wallerich included: Shirley Gray, Rae Brandt, Bruce Sopher, Dave Kuhl- meier, Tim Love, Elaine Boeding, Ann Hass, Deb Thomas, Duane Young, Kevin Reeder, Norma Rashid, Cathy Archibald, Greg LaVaIle, lill Bentley, and Bob Decker. l l l Now, shall we vote by show of hands or by secret ballot?
