Juniors Shine In Rolfe High 1919 Class Play
The Rolfe High Junior class delivered a fine 1919 production of The Blossoming of Mary Anne in the school auditorium. Under Miga Leone Putney’s direction, the cast displayed natural fit and strong acting, with standout performances by Ruth Wilson Ruth Smith Dorothy Green and Merle Sanford among others.
