A last minute change in the cast of Laburnum Grove, which will be
staged Friday night at 8:15 in the college auditorium, has put Barton

in his greenhouse. Mr. Hogan appeared in the senior play, Stage
Door at Central high school last spring and has been in other high school
productions. Wayne Peterson, Ipswich sophomore, has been added to
the cast as Morris, a police sergeant.
The other roles remain unchanged.

junior, will play Mrs. Redfern,
George's quiet and pleasant wife.
Their pretty, discontented daughter,
Elsie, will be played by Louise
Falton, Presho freshman. The
parts of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard
Baxley, quarrelsome spongers on
the Radfern household, are portrayed
by Milo Gibson, Seneca;
and Eleanor Rosen, Aberdeen.
Harold Skibsrud of Aberdeen plays
Harold Russ, the man to whom
Elsie is engaged. The part of
Joe Fletten, jovial associate of
Mr. Radfern, is played by Harold
Schmidt of Tripp, and that of Inspector
Stack by Arnold Anderson,
Aberdeen.
