Although the offering will not be presented until May the casting was made Friday by Elwyn E. Swarthout director. An unusual feature was the naming of two separate casts to take the parts. One group will perform on opening night and the second the following evening.

Mr. Swarthout stated this method is used at the local school for the first time. It is made possible because of the number of experienced players.
