Viewers declare Mouse roaring success Jefferson High School students participated in the spring theater performance The Mouse that Roared. The play told the story of a little country called Fenwick and its ideas about declaring war on the United States. Taken along with hostages is the United States’ latest and most deadly weapon, the Q-bomb. Many attempts are made to disarm the bomb, but in the end it is left as a peace weapon. The cast was “very good and also talented,’’commented two freshmen. “Professor Ko-kintz made the whole play,” added one of the enthusiastic viewers. Mrs. Anita Koehler and Mr. Brad Schmicker directed the play. Publicity was directed by Miss Betty Turner. Mr. Lia helped with the design and the construction of the sets. In line with tradition, a musical was being contemplated for the following year. 18 Spring Play
