' Do you mean you could tell nothing but the truth for 24 hours? Nothing But the Truth The Senior play, ' ' Nothing But the Truth ' was presented on April 2, at the Hammond High School Auditorium, under the able casting and directing of Miss Kathryn Dunn. Bob, a young man, was forced to tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours or lose ten thousand dollars and his girl friend. Did you ever try tell- ing nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours? You probably discovered that it was anything but an easy job. Many times before the twenty-four hours were up Bob wished he could give in. He hurt the feelings of many people, and nearly wrecked a happy home; however, when the time was up, he immediately began to lie in such a convincing manner that everyone believed him. The play ended with Bob winning the money and the girl, and everyone entirely happy. Bob Bennett was characterized by Harold Ritthaler, who did a fine job, and Jeanette Klensman was very good as his sweetheart, Gwen Ralston. Her girl friend, Ethel Clark, was capably portrayed by Gertrude Beck. Bill Standford was the perfect big business man, and Betty James made an ideal wife for Bill; while Kelly Carlson was quite natural as Dick, one of Ralston ' s partners. The roles of Mabel and Sable, two show girls were excellently handled by Marie Mihalso and Lotte Schischka. Quiet little Angeline Hopp was very well cast as the maid. Ervin Littman surprised everyone with his performance as the Bishop Duren. The comedy was carried by Carl Bjork- lund as Van Duessen, a slick business man. ' He bested me in your house! I want my seven thousand dollars.
