David Sills and Connie Heavenridge read the lines of the beloved Marshalls in A Man Called Peter. Miss Sally Davis directed her first two plays at Hartford High with assurance and flair — as proven by the results of the Junior and Senior Class plays. The Junior Play, Bull in a China Shop, depicted six ancient females, played by Rose Marie Bauer, Sue Ann Mullen, Susie Jackson, Mary Nell Cronin, Judy Summers, and Karen Cook, smitten over detective Dennis O ' Finn, played by Rick Tyler. The six cronies kept the play active trying to attract their detective friend by various plots — including murder! Sue Ann Hoy played a shrewd girl-reporter, and Paul Everhart, O ' Finn ' s assist- ant. Early in February Seniors began rehearsals for a more serious yet heartwarming play, A Man Called Peter. David Sills and Connie Heaven- ridge took the title roles of Peter and Catherine Marshall, who courageously face family, com- munity, and congregationiol problems. Youth with typical youthful problems and attitudes were played by Jerry Hackney, Elizabeth Kennedy, Tomy Jo Shipley, Keith Frank, Bill Meachom and Nancy Knapp. Julie Galbreath and Vicki Myers discarded their personalities to appear as the Sickle sisters, two notorious old maids. Ed Monks was a pompous senator; Millie Lefflngweil, Mar- ian Grant; Walt Summers, Steven Grant; and Sarah Moorman, Hulda. Presenting the class plays not only raises money and entertains people but gives the actors new confidence and poise aded to lots of fun.
