Hillbilly look creates country atmosphere November 24 the lunchroom was transformed into tin-traditional Hicktown, U.S.A. for Richfield's annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The atmosphere of the backwoods town was completed with apple cider and shotguns. Costumes ranged from ragged-looking Sunday bests to empty water barrels. Freckles, bare feet, and missing teeth all added to the hillbilly look. Marryin' Sam was readily available for those Daisy Maes fast enough to catch their Lil' Abners.

Comedy sets mood for the Senior play This year the senior class presented the Broadway comedy Auntie Marne, a less serious and more humorous production than in previous years. The play centers around the adventures of the eccentric Marne during the period from 1928-1946. Marne was portrayed by Jeanne Zeck. Other leading characters included Jan Hoff as Vera Charles, an eccentric actress and Dean Preston as Patrick Dennis, Marne’s nephew. The comedy of the play was carried through by supporting actress Lynn Kingsriter as Agnes Gooch. The production involved approximately 100 students in its cast and crew. Mr. Frank Curry, speech teacher, directed the play and Candy Landberg served as student director. Senior Debbie Jensen was in charge of the props. The play was given the weekends of Nov. 19. 20 and Dec. 2, 4. A Vera Charles tries unsuccessfully to impress the suave, debonair, Ralph Devine. 30 Fall Play
