SENIOR PLAY ,D With the fall colors of red, yellow, and orange, the quiet, lazy, smoky days, the smell of crisp, tangy leaves, comes the senior play. These young Thespians, who presented Nose for News, will remember the weeks of practice, the inevitable stage fright just before curtain time and the satisfying audience acclaim long after other activities are but a dim memory. First row: Mrs. Engen, Phyllis Atkins, Pat Sathre, Kris Lentfer, Bev Schwanke, Pat Johnston. Second row: Sharon Parker, Shirley Merter, Bev Questad, Esta Briggs, Shirley Armstrong. Third row: Mr. Grandchamp, Ronnie Bowles, l.es Downer. 'joe Werner, Clair Daniels, jim Phelps, Roger Sigler, Wally Haugan. The three acts took place in the journalism room of Hillcrest High School. With a complete mixup involv- ing a parrot, an escaped convict and nine crazy teenagers, fun and hilarity sprinkled with tense moments of suspense, the play captivated the hearts of the audience. Leading the cast were Roger Sigler as Ralph- a senior, haughty and self-confident, Clair Daniels as Vince-a senior, conceited and self-satisfied, Les Downer as Tim-a senior, steady, quick-witted, joe Werner as the janitor-an elderly man and given to corny jokes, Bev Schwanke as Helen-a junior who doesn't catch on very easily, Sharon Parker as Carol -a junior, sedate and sincere, Kris Lentfer as Millie-a junior of fine tastes, Pat Johnston as Linda-a junior who tends to exaggerate, Phyllis Atkins as Evelyn-a junior who likes radio music, Shirley Mercer as jane-a senior and editor of the school paper, Pat Sathre as Miss jasper-a journalism teacher, Ronnie Bowles as the convict-a surprise to everybody. Those on the productigif staff were Shirley Armstrong, Esta Briggs and Ginny O'Neill, jim Phelps was an able stage manager, while Bev Questad, Wally Haugan and Mr. Elwood Comer took care of the business transaction. Mr. Gregg and the Stage Craft Club were responsible for the realistic stage settings.
