THE KELETGN WALK The entire cast poses for the final curtain call. Mrs. Hubbard serves tea containing ground glass. Children say bedtime prayers. From beneat Laughter and applause dis- played by the audience proved The Skeleton Walks an immediate success. Audi- ence response never slack- enedg the actors held the at- tention from the opening scene until the curtain call. Husky Tom Weijola as old Mrs. Hubbard and Diane Rogers as deaf and dumb Ollie Hubbard, were show- stoppers as was easy-going Bob Shufelt in his portrayal of the suave villain, Dr. Fer- sig, who had a sizeable col- lection of skeletons. Even the breakage of the cable carry- ing the bat across the stage, so that the bat stopped for five minutes mid-stage dur- ing Act Two, only added to the gaiety of the opening performance. The mystery-comedy pre- sented by the Senior Class, was performed on Novem- ber 21, 1963, and followed by a repeat performance on January 3, 1964. The mem- bers of the class worked well together in presenting the play. Class advisers, Miss Margaret Ward and Mr. George Koerner, directed the play, and various members of the class were responsible for make-up, properties, lighting, tickets, prompting, and advertising. Though the success of the play was most evidently attributed to the actors themselves, the versa- tility of the entire class helped to promote the play's final success.
