Skidding senior class stage production at high school
The senior class play Skidding directed by Maude under Sara Alderman’s review impressed last night at the high school with a lively Andy Hardy style plot. Mickey Rooney impersonations and strong Mrs Hardy portrayals by Ruth Russell delivered the show with reserve and realism. The ensemble cast including Mildred Ridgeway Barbara Lynn Marion Williams Sara Layton and Bill Smith provided solid supporting work. The high school dramatics program maintains its longstanding reputation through a well executed performance endowed by Williard Craven and Harold Willhardt among others.
