The Kingsville band has become one of the best in Ashtabula County in recent years, due in great part to the tireless work and patience of our director, Mr. Roland Graves. There are now 65 members in the band. The Pep band has played at several of the home basketball games this year. The band has played for the P. T. A. and at the spring festival. Several of the band members participated in a solo contest at Youngstown College. The biggest event in 1953 was the band contest at McDonald. Saturday, March 28.

PLAYS Junior Play The Juniors this year chose as their play the old favorite ‘‘The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come.” This, of course, was based on John Fox, Jr.’s familiar story of little “Chad Buford.” The play was a huge success and much of the credit goes to Mrs. Margaret Konnert, who so ably directed the production. The class enjoyed putting on this play, and is looking forward to next year’s production. One Act Play Jeff Mulkey stands at his cabin window and peers out at the blizzard and ever deepening snow. Five years ago he was involved in an auto accident on a snow-swept highway—an accident that took the lives of a mother and her daughter. Since then, each storm brings back to him the reality of the mishap. That’s why Jeff moved with his wife, Mary, to this cabin in the mountains, far away from peo- ple. Now as the blizzard rages, there is a rap on the door. A man enters. He’s tall and walks with a limp—says he was hunting and got lost. As he sips coffee, he tells them the story of a man who had a wife and daughter. They couldn’t get along, so she took the child and left. Finally, she started back to him, had an accident in a snow storm and she and the daughter were killed. When the husband got word a couple of years later, he swore ievenge. It slowly dawns on Jeff and Mary that they’re trapped with the crazed husband. Suddenly the door flies open and in walks a woman and girl. The woman looks at the hunter and their eyes meet for an instant. When Mary and Jeff come in from the kitchen after fixing supper, they find the room empty. Mary crosses to the window, peers out and gasps! Although three persons left, there’s the tracks of only one person in the snow. The above is a summary of the one-act play presented by a group of K. H. S. students on January 26, 1953 at Edgewood High School at 8:00 P. M. It is the first time in several years that Kingsville has entered a play in the county competition. The play is entitled “THE STORM” and was written by Donald Payton. Mrs. Kon- nert was the able director of it. The cast includes: Richard Bruckman as Jeff; Rich- ard Simon as the Hunter; Mary Reger as the Daughter; Emilie Kubichek as Mary; Marleah Thompson as the Woman. Senior Play The Senior Play, a three-act comedy called “Good Gracious, Grandma”, was puresented on November 14, 1952 at 8:00 P. M. It was directed by Mrs. Margaret Mikolay. Richard Bruckman as George Breckinridge and Terry Bowdler as his cousin Henry Breckinridge were both broke, and no means of getting credit. Things were looking down and the boys were sure they were going to have to go work. A, call from their landlady, Mrs. Lennox, as played by Lee Robishaw. does all but make things look better. But a telegram for Henry’s father announcing the arrival of two daughters of an old friend and requesting the father to entertain them, gives a bright idea to the distressed boys, especially as money is being sent for the girls’ expenses. Of course, a chaperone is needed and out of this urgent need comes Grandma—in private life George—dressed up in the landlady’s clothes furnished by P-Sam, a colored houseboy, played by Richard Simon, who has a miserable time when the girls, Helen and Cecile, Rita Nojonen and Bernice Fisher, show up with a delightful colored maid, Delicia, played by Marian Lilja. Life from then on for the next two days is a series of thin explanations for Henry—to the landlady as to who the girls are—to the girls about himself and dear Grandma—to Clancy, a police officer played by Russell Louden, and Wiggins, his assistant, Jim Thei-s. when the landlady reports the loss of her clothes. George is having an uncomfort- able time hiding behind Grandma’s skirts, but emerges in time to solve things com- pletely, except for the fact that he has fallen in a big way for Cecile and Henry has had the same feeling for Helen, but all this seems to be well under hand.
