| Wednesday, May 16, Bruno high
school presented the three-act COM
edy drama "Whittlin'." The play
was we'll attended and enjoyed by
those present. The cast presented
some newcomers to the stage. Those
who had appeared in previous plays
were more at home on the stage. The
third act was presented splendidly
by the entire cast. The players in
cluded Jack O'Connell as Doc Yak.
who was always "Whittlin'"; James
Pearson as Dopey, who had POSSIBLE
tiles and lived up to them; Eva Berg
lund as Mrs. Wilson, a widow; Phyllis
Plaisted as Ruth Wilson, her daugh-
ter; Joe Ames as the village crab and
a veritable Shylock; Warren Englund
as friend of Dopey who happened
along; Irene Anderson, a giggling
girl; and Adrian Hogan, boy OF the

and yet had it's moments of pathos.
Patience and faith were the two vir-
tues which were rewarded at last.
1t was a play of many possibilities
and it's story will linger long in the
memories of those who heard it.
