THE GHOST BIRD AMERICA FIRST The words of the caption are those that opened one of the most successful plays given in the history of the Ogallala High School. This was The Ghost Bird , given by the junior Class, and sponsored by Mr. Richardson. The play was a four-act mystery comedy. Toby, an amateur de- tective. played by George Vasa, afforded the audience with great peals of laughter. In the second act. the death of Brad Buckhart. characterized by Bob Harvey, added much to the mystery of the story. The killer. Philip Graham, dramatized by Milford Krajewski. was discovered at the close of the play by Jenkins, a police de- tective. who in real life was Harold Magee. The leading characters along with everyone of the supporting players served to make this play the hit of the season . America First was a red-blooded, up-to-the- minute comedy drama of the difficulties of an enthusiastic American youth. Lee Holmes, who became entangled in a communistic plot to corrupt the morals of American youth by interesting them in a dancing school managed and taught by Ola and Franz Kring. The obstinate 96 year old grandpa, the spryest man alive of the War of 1861,” supplied the humor to the play in scenes with Mrs. Boggs, the house- keeper. More serious moments were enacted by Uncle Frank, a G-man who was trying to break up the spy ring; Gladyce Caley, Lee’s discarded girl-friend; Mrs. Holmes, the typical American mother; Jimmie Banks, a young fellow who be- longed to the Krings’ Inner Circle , and was a friend of Lee’s; and the sweethearts, Owen Blake, a young army pilot, and Dorothy Holmes. In the last few heart-gripping moments. Uncle Frank, his associates, and the Holmes’ broke up the spy ring, captured the Krings with the goods and the Holmes life fully returned to thal of an average American family. Harold MaGee tip his hat to Gleynim Bromley as the member of the cant ami the play committees applaud in the background. Standing i.kkt to right arb: Gene Gemmcll. Clarence Hunke, Jack Gcmmell.
