NSKINN ED ALIVE 7' l Standing: P. Mitchell, S. Millard, W. Ambrose, J. Shroble, J. Erdman, P. Hillerman The play's the thing! In searching for a play that would be appropriate for the senior class of 1956, it seemed obvious that a comedy was the type to choose. Skinned Alive was the choice for the class, but there were some definite problems in casting involved. In the leading role of Whinnie More was Richard Reese who, because of the part he took, spent half of the play disguised as Aunt Lucretia Klondikef' His portrayal was distinguished and the rest of the cast took their cue from him. Pat Mitchell and Shelby Millard gave humorous interpretations to the parts of the two aunts, Katie and Millie. A former boxer who owned the local resort was Terror Tripp played by William Ambrose. He spent much of his time dragging Freckles, better known as Jack Shroble, around by the ear. Jack played a house boy who wanted to be a house detective, but Wilma Anderson, the house cook, played by Joyce Erdman, was al- ways spoiling his plans. Two criminals enter the scene and the plot thickens. Rose Duval, played by Pat Hillerman, Page Twenty-Two Seated: T. Sheehan, R. Schrank, M. L. Trewyn, R. Reese, J. Rockwell, M. Doherty and Slappy Wertz, played by Mike Doherty, caused a great sensation when they made their entrance. Dick Schrank took the part of Char- lie Kennan, a successful businessman who takes time out to renew an old college romance with Beth Shepherd, or Joan Rockwell. Beth has come to the resort for a vacation with Madge Van Loom who is impersonated by Mary Liz Trewyn. Mary Liz is the fiance of Whinnie More, but she can't seem to keep track of him in his various disguises. Perhaps one of the funniest characters in the play was Sylvester Baines played by Tom Sheehan. He was pur- sued through most of the play by the health- struck aunts, Katie and Millie. The scenery for the play was done by the senior art class under the direction of Miss Lou- ise Christenson. The play was directed by Miss Lorayne McKenzie. The programs were handled by Carolyn and Marilyn Starck. Properties were under the direction of Betty Bosshard, and Nancy Coburn took charge of the make-up com- mittee. Assistant directors were Paul Kitzman and Barbara Phelps.
