CLASS OF ’78 BRINGS US SOUTH FOR “TOM SAWYER” The Junior Class Play, “Tom Sawyer,” was a big success. This year the play was not only made up of Juniors, but sophomores and freshmen. Part of the reason the play was such a success was that it reminded all who watched it of those happy and carefree days of their past. It was a glimpse into the uncomplicated and romantic days of an age long past, where the steamboat was king of the river and the “wild west” really started at the banks of the Mississippi. (A.) Becky Thatcher (N. Sorenson) discovers that (T. Reilly) Tom Sawyer has been two timing. (B.) Ben Rogers (T. Harkins), Lyda Hollis (M. Borca) and Jim Hollis (J. Anderson) are catchin catfish. (C.)
