After weeks of hard work, the Junior class did a wonderful job on this 2 act comic fantasy. Two members of the cast who did a very nice job of acting were not members of the Junior class. They were Jerry Kiester, an eighth grader and Angie Bock, a sixth grader. The play was well attended and with the help of a cake walk held between scenes the Junior's netted about $195.00. The Juniors found this venture lots of fun and a good way to make money for the prom. A superb job of acting and a very good job of casting paid off in a play that will be remembered for its plot, characterization, and set. The Juniors worked hard on their play but the rewards came not only in money but in a great deal of personal satisfaction. Mrs. McThing was their play and they did it in great style. Hey the Kid, here comes that Kid. down fellers. This is one of the fa- miliar and funny things about Mrs. Mc- Thing. It seems there were people popping up and down from here and there to surprise and amuse the au- dience. The four ganasters pictured here are: from left Butch, Don, Ken, and Greg. I'm not just gonna stand here sayin I'm going to be an actor. I'm going to be an actor. says Ken Kohrman as he awaits his entrance onto the stage in Mrs. McThing. 22
