i: m-hThe Minden Log 1»1111 h--h-h- -k-:-SENIORS FAREWELL PLAY Here Comes The Prince The Senior Class presented a “living memorial” to the school and community on the night of May 3, as they produced a splendid royalty comedy “Here Comes the Prince.” Nothing could speak better or live longer in the hearts of those who saw this play, than the high type of dramatic ability displayed in this the final performance of the graduating class of 1940. Joan, played by Wanda Longo, a good egg who is silently in love with Terry, played by George Gilbert, finds an evening full of complications as sne tries, wrth the help of Granny, Annabelle Gathman, to sicken Carol, Mary Faye Hughes, of royalty before the Prince, Clinton Armstrong, really arrives. Terry, who is infatuated with the glumour of Carol, is disguised as the blond cook, Hortense, so as to remain near her and try to persuade her that his love is more genuine that the fortune hunting Prince. In the meantime, Joan, disguised as the Prince, is finding it rather hard to turn Carol against royalty. Winks, the lady killer butler, played by B. J. Crouch, proves to be a real comedy part as he makes love to Hortense with much fervor. The bird professor, played by Jack Caslavka, also provides many laughs as he makes love to the glamorous Carol in the terminology of his beloved birds. Mrs. Lovejoy, Betty Jean Hopper, and her daughter Wanda. Wilma Bolton, supply plenty of laughs as they scheme to impress the Prince at the expense of Carol. Ambitious father, played by Dick Smith, finally decided it is hard to marry his daughter into royalty, and is at last content to see her marry the professor, and to give his blessing to Terry and his niece Joan. Sonya, the dancer is played by Genevieve Toms.
