The Senior Glass of Chardon
High School will present their
class play REMEMBER MAMA
on Friday, Nov. 16, in the
high school auditorium. The
play is the story of Mama,
the supporting pillar of a Nor
wegian family, as seen through
the writings of her daughter,
Katrin. Mama fulfills the
idealization that we all have
of a mother being the source
of all life, of all love, and of
all safety. Her struggles and
triumphs (and there are a lot
of both in this play) only show
us that she is resourceful as
we'll as generous, and master
full as well as loving. Without
reading a book Mama knows
a child should not have worries
until old enough to cope with
them. Wisdom, kindliness, and
wit are only part of her en-
dowments. Mama faces each
crisis, the sickness of her
youngest daughter; the bully
ing of her one sister by her
two other sisters; the death
of Uncle Chris, the supposed
tyrant of the family, and so
forth with a fortitude that
always brings measure of

on help for retarded children,
stating that there are thirteen in

told of some of the projects the
Junior Women'S Clubs are do

success from almost sure defeat.
The story of Mama first ap-
peared as a book, "Mama'S
Bank Account" by Kathryn
Forbes; this was merely a series
of episodes. Then John van
Druten, promising English
playwright, adapted the book
into play.
Instead of inventing a con-
ventional plot the actual form
of a narrative was preserved
with flashback episodes used
to tell the story. Stark Young
when writing his review for
the New Republic expresses
his feelings when he said, "Mr.
John van Druten has concocted
a piece of theater that none
of our local stage authors could
ever have achieved"
The emotion is simple and
pure, not trite sentimentality.
Warmth, honesty, and univer-
sal humor bind the play into
one you'll never forget. More
comforting is that even in this
world strictly global Mama
thinks only in terms of her
family. She symbolizes secur-
ity, a powerful thing in this
age of chaos. When you see
the play, you too will agree
with Katrin as she writes
about her mother in the play
"but first and foremost 1 re-
member Mama"
The oldest daughter, Katrin,
who writes about the family
and tells the story, is being
played by Carolyn Boerwinkle;
Mama, the loving mother, will
be portrayed by Ann Miller;
Papa, the breadwinner, is to
be played by Jim Wilmot;
Dagmar, the youngest daugh-
ter, who loves all types of
animals, by Barbara Blythe;
Christine, the stubborn middle
daughter, by Barbara Cooley.
The parts of Mr.. Hyde, English
boarder at the Hanson house
hold, and Mr.. Torkelson, timid
suitor of Aunt Trina, will both
be portrayed by Dick Knapp
with the aid of quick changes
in makeup and costume. The
three aunts: bossy Aunt Jenny,
whining Aunt Sigrid, and timid
Aunt Trina, will be played by
Marilyn Marshall, Patricia Will
Hanson, and Sally Fenwick,
respectively. Uncle Chris, the
black sheep of the family ac-
cording to the aunts, will be
played by Carl Barber.
Jessie, Uncle Chris house
keeper, is being played by
Vivian Starr; DR.. Johnson by
Bob Hauter, nurses in the hos
pital scenes by Barbara Wort
man, Vickie Turner, and Vir-
ginia Davis; the scrubwoman
by Carol Bailey; Annette, Aunt
Sigrid's daughter, by Evelyn
Burnett. A soda clerk will be
protrayed by Ernest Mishne,
Madeline and Dorothy, girl
friends of Katrin, by Shirley
Phillips and Mary Shultz; and
Florence Dana Moorehead, a
famous author, by Jacqueline
Bay,
