Plays One-act plays are diversified There were three one- act plays given on January 15. Quiet Please , Bench 18 and The Whirligig of Life were the presentations. Quiet Please involved two brothers that didn't get along. Catherine, a stranger, came into their lives one day. Was it possible that one person could interrupt and change two peoples lives? Bench 18 was a comedy about a young man Sammy, who is trying to meet his blind date at the park with a few mix ups that may have happened before a date in city life. Maybe fate held out. The third play, The Whirligig of Life was based on a kind-hearted Justice of the Peace trying to make money on the fees. His wife had even taken to mentioning the awful word work . But then some delightful maneuvering involving a two dollar bill offered hope for Bill. The Whirligig was taken to contest in Huron on January 27. It won a superior so it was eligible for state. State was also held in Huron on February 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Although the play didn't rate a superior itself, Jim Anderson did receive a plaque for best supporting actor. This was the first time in several years that Highmore had taken a one-act play to contest and then to state. Highmore also did very well in individual acting awards at regional. Mike Oligmueller won the award for best actor. Jim Anderson, Carol Splettstoeser and Dorinda Weidenbach also won an award for their supporting role in the play.
