S., the Class of ’44 put its all into the Senior Play entitled Brother Goose,” and were indeed rewarded for their efforts by an appreciative audience, when the curtain went up at 8 o’clock. Tuesday. April 4, a day to Ik long remembered. The time devoted to the “building” of the play was enjoyed by each member of the cast. Here grew moments which shall never lie forgotten by any of them. Moments, such as those when all suddenly felt ill when Phyllis Marts was believed to have the mumps, and when Lee Burrows and Ellen Sackett guided a buxom motorcycle, which they had never touched before, through too nar- row” doors in front of a “full house.” Despite all the trials and tribulations, the cast secured properties, costumes and furniture, to say nothing of facing a hilarious crowd when skiis and hall trees fell to the floor taking the telephone and picture from the wall with them. Then. too. Lee Rains took time out to re|H rt to Uncle Sam for a physical. And still the play proved to lie the l est of the year, by providing an excellent op| ortunity to drown the evil thoughts of war in those of mirth and laughter. The cast, which was ca| ably directed by Miss Knepper, consisted of the following: Jeffery Adams....................Dwight Covington {Wesley Adams...............Lee Burrows Carol Adams....................Mildred Rains llyancith “Hy” Adams.. Phyllis Marts Peggy Winkle.....................Jayne Corbridge Eve Mason............................Ellen Sackett Lenore Hudson...............................Bonnie Kilzcr Mrs. Trimmer.....................Bonnie Davidson Truck Driver...........................Clark Allen Sarah (colored maid).............Bobby Chisholm I lend (who quits)............................Edna Larsen Stage Manager....................James Corbridge Property Manager.................Marvin Willard Make Up......................Miss Velma Linford J JUNIOR PLAY Seated: Mabel Brcw»tcr, Gordon Kellogg.

THE JUNIOR Class flew into the Laramie High School Auditorium, November 24, to present “Sky Road,” a breath taking play about airplanes. Midge Saunders (Colleen Carroll) and Buddy Walters (Eddie Foreman) together with Lucky Parker (Gertrude Butcher) and Bill Jones (Dean Logan) made up the romantic side of the play. As telephone operator, Mable (Mable Brewster) brought in the laughs, with the help of two steward- esses. Connie Bickeel (Edna Louise Royer) and Sue Lamb (Elva Puckett). Keeping you on edge with their nervousness were Andy Saunders (Gor- don Kellogg) and Ann Rogers (Sylvia Morrill). As executives, Carrie Evans (Peggy Hitchcock) and Steve Hamland (Nile Baker) were strict, but understanding. Determined and stubborn was Sally Barton (Marjorie Snow), the newspaper reporter. The part of the nurse. Miss Fclding, was capably handled by Anna Geitz. Thompson (Marvin Will- ard) and MacFarland (Glen Stickley), helped to make the play go over smoothly. (Continued on Page 23)
