HIGH SCHOOL PLAY The all school play was one of the outstanding productions of the school year. The cast included: Lloyd Carlson as Paul jones, Mary Helen Kelley, Mrs. Jones, Dennis Hamilton, Mr. Jones, Bill Norgaard, Junior, and Thelma Dun- can, Mary Jones. Barbara Knutson played the part of Jane, Paul's girl, Don Moe played Jack, Mary's boy friend. Ruby Koch played Anna the maid, Beat- rice Hansen, Lilah, junior? s girl, and Dan Hess, Mr. Smudgely, the high school principal. The plot of the story is an episode in the life of the Jones family. Paul is four days from finishing his high school education and has to make a 95 in his history examination or spend his vacation in summer school instead of at the lake. Junior, the kid brother, gets Paul into hot water with Mr. Smudgely, the principal. Mr. and Mrs. Jones sympathize with Paul, but they think getting into the University is more- important than going to the lake. Mary doesn't help Paul much by telling him of how romantic it will be at the lake. Paul and Jack decide upon a much needed cram session. There are laughs and excitement galore when Paul mistakes an emetic for quick energy pow- dered sugar. On top of all this, he gets into more trouble with Mr. Smudgely and is accused of stealing the examination the night before the test. Lilah, Junior's secret passion, always pops up at the Wrong time. Anna played a good character part. The outcome of the story is amazing but happy. Miss Ruth Salkin, the director, was in no small Way responsible for the success of the play. Thelma Duncan ...30...
