IU ICR PLAY Our Hearts Were Young and Gay put on by the Junior cast November 9, was a very entertaining play. The members of the cast did a fine piece of work in the presentation, and a large crowd of pa- trons were highly entertained. The story of the play took part on a ship sailing to France. During the voyage many interesting events took place which developed the plot and re- sulted in the fine performance.

Some work is also done in make up and stage manaffement Miss Gulan is the sponsor and the officers are: President, Sandra Meehan fnot picturedj and Secr tarv Treasurer, Elaine Brady A great deal of interest in forensics was evident this year as a large group of our people took part in this activity. Miss Gulan, Mrs. Mammenga, and Mrs. Weinstein all gave some of their time in coaching these peo- ple in the numbers that they choose for contest competition. Fourteen people tried out in the local contest and moved on to the district contest at Mukvvonago. Here Sandra Meehan and San- dra Miller rated A's and ad- vanced to the regional at Fort Atkinson where Sandra Miller got a HB and Sandra Meehan earned the right to go on to the state contest at Madison with an UA rating. Sandra Mee- han also received an A at the state contest. Many of the people in this group performed before the assembly and were very well received by the stu- dent body.

SENIOR PLAY 'tThe Little Dog Laughed as portrayed by the cast pictured on this page under the direction of Miss Gulan, was probably the most humorous play to be put on in our school for many a year. The members of the cast kept a large audience in almost continuous laughter from the rising of the curtain at 8:15 to the end of the final scene. Sandra Mee- han, the star of the play, enacted the part of a student of psychology home from college and her psychanalyzing resulted in the many ridiculous sit- uations which kept the audience hanging on every word. As is always the case, the success of the play cannot be attributed to the star alone as every char- acter seemed to be perfectly cast and each one did a splendid piece of work in his or her part. The date of the play was April 5, and the cast follows: CAST Sandy Meehan as Laurie .... Wayne Larsen as Sidney .... Marge Weaver as Martha. . . Dick Timmer as Wally ..... Judy Jones as Gus ..... Sue Rausch as Joan .... Bill Haase as Ted ...... Barbara Worrell as Lillian .... Irv Partenheimer as Mark .... Roger Allen as Mr. Honeywell .... Guests at Martha's Tea: Sandy Davis as Therese .....
