SENIORS PRESENTED “BREATH OF SPRING” The story by Peter Coke, began as Lady Beatrice (Debbie Grott) was given a mink stole by her maid (Sandy Dudenbostel). She was reminded of the maid's shady past and she suspected that the maid stole it from the neighboring flat. A former army officer (Craig Weber) and the other lodgers joined Beatrice in a plan to return the stole. Nanette Parry (LuAnn Mueller), a speech teacher, used her voice for impersonations and various accents. Alice Miller (Sheryl Kin-zinger) and Hattie Hatfield (Karen Eckert) helped with distractions. All of them took such delight in the scheme that they planned to continue stealing furs to benefit charity. Alice found recipients for the large sums of money collected. All the while Hattie was nervous about the police (Mike Buettner and Dave Bartsokas) finding out about their gang. Much goes on concerning the production for a play. The faculty directors included Miss Gretchen Van Hove and Mr. Jerry Ritter. Rita Kinzinger was the student director. Randy Steinheimer, Darla Rohr, Kim Meyer, Elaine Burk, Beth Klingenberg, Eric Wirth, and Jonas Souza were instrumental in the obtaining of properties and the construction of scenery. Jill Wade was the cast hairdresser. Helping with tickets were Debbie Hager, Barb Jordan, Theresa Lannom, Jill Wade, and Lana Behrens.
