Twelve Angry People In the fall the Drama Club presented Twelve Angry People (retitled from Twelve Angry Men). Room 118 became a paneled jury room In an old court house somewhere in some large city. Aided by Student Director Eileen Notestine and various crews, Mr. Stover staged and directed the powerful drama of people and their prejudices, which were more on trial than the teenager murderer. 1) Jim Bolller. standing, played the protagonist who tries to con- vince the already-decided jury to give the defendent a fair chance. Chris Oddou was an older woman who understands prej- udice, and Rick Walters, a young man easily influenced by anyone with a strong argument. 2) Jim Nolan, the antagonist, prejudicial and bigative, shouts his hatred at everyone and almost sways the jury. Mark Anderson, a victim of his own fears, and Mike Warner, a foreigner who recently took citizenship, restrain him from any more belligerent acts. 3) Sheri Haines played a liberated woman, Kathy Overmyer an average housewife, and Jeff Clark a guy who climbed out of his downtrodden part. They all react to some newfound evidence. 4) Gary Bartle played a prosperous businessman. His educa- tion helped him approach his duty more facily. 5) Karen McCormack played the person who is too busy to be bothered. Uninformed and reactionary, her character is more interested in saving time than in finding justice. Rick Bienz played the Foreman of the jury, a man weakened by self-doubt.

The work was hard and long, but this would be a production to set stan- dards by. Chris Oddou. who played Ella Peterson, does one of her many numbers. She gave a very credible and professional perfor- mance. The Girl Emsemble opened the show. The girls strike a pensive pose as an an- nouncer reminds them of life without the advantage of an answering service. Ty Schoeff is surrounded by passersby as he sings I Met a Girl with such exuber- ance that everyone decides to join in. 24 Spring Play
