The Senior Play To an uninformed visitor. the lower hall ol' G. H. would have presented a strange picture during the week of November 27 to Deeember l. l'nder the supervision ol' Mr. Sheldon, some six or eight seniors were working on wooden frames: oll-key' harmonizing could be heard from the cubbyhole. The Senior Play was the reason for this 2lIll0Ulil1l ronfoosion. 'iJanie hatl an all-star cast: Cllurlrzr Colburn, Leonard I,eMireg Lurille lfollmrtz, joan Hawkinsg junio Colburn, Ruth Morgang ,Iolm Van Iirzml, Mahlon lislibaugh: Dirk 1.nzurf'iz4'f', Paul Stricklerg Tlzelma 1.aa'r1'l1n', Mary jane Townsend: Srornpfr' Xolnn, George Neumann: Mickey' Illalmzr, Donnie lVolfe: Paula Rflillfy, lillen Gussio: Rozlnry, james Carneal: Uurle Poodgie, John Pack: Tina, Dale Downs: Iirfrnaflirlf' Dorlrl, Ginger Como: Ray Ilochert. Harry Leiper, Nat Gates, Jimmy' MCCarl, Ed Ford and I,eGrand Benefiel-soldiers, and Shirley Mitchell played Horleiiszf Iirnizinglon. Dead-Pan I-Iarlcrll was played by' Philip Dykstra. Two actors chosen from outside the Senior Class were jimmy' Griggs, a junior, and Maureen Murray, elementary' school student, who played lilslwllz Colburn. Miss Cotterman took charge of make-np, aided by I,ucy' Forrester. Ann Turner, Daryl Smallwood, and Mary Jane Craig. Miss Boyd. Evelyn Mason, and Virginia Taylor attended to the costuming. Mr. Donahue and Dottie -lelfries were in charge of tickets. The ushers were Dottie Jeffries, Mary Oldham, Phyllis Miller, Teresa Custard, and Carolyn Tompkins. Miss Larmore, Grant Good. Ned Herr, Bob Humphrey, Lois Dejager, Pat Robinson, Joyce Bates, and Lois Freundt took care ol' properties. The stage crew was composed ol' lid Ford and Alan Taylor, james Cashman, Bobbie Hall, Donn O'Neill, Pete Cookson, Donnie lV0lfe, Mahlon lishbztugh, Leonard LeMire, Grant Good, and Ray' llochert. Pat Brown, Dorothy' Denis, and Marilyn Maryn were responsible for publicity. and Jane Linhardt and Marilyn Maryn were prompters. There are things-unimportant, no doubt, to an outsider-which we will always remember about this Senior Play. For instance, Mr, Speirher coming over on Saturday' to work with the stage crewg or the fuss made when Ruth Mot-gan's flowers were accidentally' locked in the principals ofhce with no key' available. A certain prompter will go through life haunted by' the memory' that her feet stuck out on the stage. VVelre glad that the play' was a success, not only because of what it means to our school, but because we enjoyed every' minute spent in making it what it was-a Senior Play to remember and of which to be proud. l l20l
