F.I wood Dowd (P Laverv) calmly mentions a call from his friend, who is a giant rabbit. Dramatic Season Imagine having a six-foot invisible white rabbit for a best friend! This was the predicament of Elwood P. Dowd, alias Pat Laverv, in the fall production of Harvey. The comedy by Mary Chase played to capacity crowds on November 17 and 18. The plot centered about Elwood s imaginary friend and the efforts of Dowd’s sister Veta Louise Simmons to get him committed to the world famous Chumley’s Best Home. After a series of complications, Elwood emerged victorious and left the audi- ence with a startling message to pon- der. Mr. John Toth directed Harvey, assisted by Miss Dorothy Christoff and student director Valerie Astolas. Technical chairman included Mike McConnell, Beverly Barton, Joanie Blieden, Nancy Evanson, Kay Earl, Karen Kirincic, Mary Kryzer, and Linda Larson. Blocking, learning lines, becoming skilled in the art of applying stage make-up, hunting for props, selling tickets, and painting scenery were part of the whirl of preparations prior to the excitement of opening night. Vivacious Betty Chumley (J. Woodward) describes her new friend to her husband. (J. Gubitz) Harvey Cast Members Elwood P.
