Kind Lady taged By eniors The tense psychological drama, The Kind Ladyu by Edward Chodorov, was pre- sented by the senior class on April 6 and 7 under the direction of Adeline Hoegberg. The plot shows how a dignified elderly woman is gradually overcome by a family of clever crooks. By means of ingenious plotting, they alienate her family and friends from her and practically convince the outside world and the kind lady her- self that she is insane. Suspense and mystery surround her life and home. It is thought that the kind lady will loose her sanity and property, but through courage she manages to get word to the outside world and is saved. wg fzlril-J. s '. 4 . , . , f ' ,.f c .r V -ca... ,MU l - t ' 1 A ...sf xy. er jan NX'aishnor and Karnie Benson play the part of Mrs Fl Sa Bvluuz' Ed Guidotti watches Sonja Stokstad as Sondri Stung berg and Bob Sabin dance.
