Life O' the Party Life O' the Party was performed by the Senior Class. As in any theatrical performance, there were problems. Because there were more girls interested in the play than parts, Wilbur Maxwell was changed to Wilhelmina, and Tina Dollins was cast in the part. According to Mrs. Sharon Hindman, This brilliant move, however, posed some problems, especialy since Tina, who was portraying a ten-year-old, was taller than her considerably older sisters.
