RED CANDLES The entire student body of grades one through eight presented a Christmas operetta on Thursday evening, December 23, 1948, in the high school auditorium. Red Candles was the title of the presentation. The Christmas story which the operetta told was that of two children who had come to America from Norway with their mother. They had become separated from her soon after their arrival, and had been under the guardianship of a cruel and heartless lawyer for several years before the action of the operetta begins. How the Christmas dreams of these children came true made an entertaining Christmas story. There were fairies, a rabbit, and even Santa himself, to bring smiles to every face and joy to each heart. The cast of characters was as follows: Gilda, a girl from Norway ........ Carolyn Watson Jibby, her brother ......... . . .Roger Krueger Mabel, Gilda's friend ..... ..... E velyn Davis Snidge, the guardian .... . . .Ronald Coventry Teddy, his spoiled son .... ........ M ax Bohn Milly, Teddy's sister. . . . . Murna Scholz Celia, Milly's friend .... .....

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY THE BUNCO MAN Albert and Hannah Miller, owners of a dairy in Oakridge, lose business to a chiseling rival named Kosky. They are almost ready to sell out to this competitor when Hannah's cousin, Edward Bunker arrives. Everyone be- lieves that Bunker has plenty of money, and the Millers allow him to take over their dairy because they think he will invest in it. Bunker, without a cent to his name, enlivens the dairy business with startling changes, and puts the whole town of Oakridge agog with his experixnents. One of these experiments is to transform Miller's sec- retary, Lou, from a shy moth to a brilliant butterfly. But what Bunker does to the dairy business is beyond descrip- tion. There is romance a-plenty, too: for Lou Roberts, the modest little bookkeeper, wins Bunker against considerable odds: and experienced, over-confident Jim Ellis falls for the town flirt, Flora Hanchett. Moreover, Dick Miller, the unpromising son of the Miller union, is in a fair way to capture a movie actress as the smoke clears. Cast of Characters Hannah Miller. Albert Miller. . Edward Bunker ....
