The class of 1954 pres- ented nTom Sawyern for their Junior play. The cast is as follows: Huckleberry Finn - Jim Wiley Sid Sawyer - Jim Hacker Joe Harper - Joe Stanley Tom Sawyer - Larry Smith Becky Thatcher - Joyce Gross Mary Sawyer - Suzanne Klepser Jim-the negro - Larry Lahr Aunt Polly - Martha Weaver Widow Douglass - Shirley Sharp Mrs. Harper - Rena Harris Judge Thatcher - Gene Minton Alfred Temple - Neil Zook Amy Lawrence - Roene Kellam Ingun Joe - Bob Manning Stage Manager - Bill Whitacre Business Manager - Ruthenna Scott Adventures of Tom Sawyer, dramatized from Mark Twain's immortal story, takes place in the living-room of Aunt Polly's home. All the charm of the author's story and the imnortant characters are transferred to the play. The fence whitewashing scene, Tom's love affair, the finding of the stolen treasure, in fact, all the favorite adventures were there, and the dialog was Mark Twain's very own.
