High School Thespians To Present 3 One-Act Plays

The Greeneastle High School Thespians will present "The Case of Modern Man" November 10 and 12 at 8:00 p.m. in the high school cafeteria "The Case of the Crushed Petunias," first of the one-act plays, was written by Tennessee Williams and takes place in Primanproper, Mass., which is in the cultural orbit of Boston. Miss Dorothy Simple, the main character, is approached by Lafe. Inc., who tells her to get out and live. The names of the characters are symbolic of certain human characteristics. This play shows how some people live in & static life without meaning. Tad Mosel, while attending the Yale Drama School, wrote the second play, "Impromptu.” This play, written for the living theater, tells how much truth a person needs in order to live a balanced life. The four people in the cast act out life as if it was one big production. Mr. Mosel, who has written many television productions, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Award m 1961 for his play, "All the Way Home.” The last play, "Objective Case” is an example of the Theater of the Absurd and "The Case of the Crushed Petunias” is a delightful fantasy. Tickets for the plays are available at the high school and may be purchased from Bob Lyons or any Thespian member. Veteran Police Officer Fired LOS ANGELES UPI — Veteran Police Lt Thomas E.

School Plans Get Approval INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Indiana School Reorganization Commission has approved reorganization plans offered for Boone and Whitley Counties by their local committees. The commission granted also a petition from the Lebanon School Board to be declared a community school corporation under a 1965 law in addition to approving the Boone County School Reorganization Committee's plan, which hna had some local opposition. Chairman Bryce Bottom said residents of Eagle and Union Twps. in Boone will vote on a part of the county plan calling for an Eagle-Union unit. Some residents of the proposed unit sought to join the Lebanon school district. If the Eagle-Union district is approved. Boone County’s reorganization would be complete with three units since Western Boone School Corp. already is functioning. If it fails, then another plan will be needed. The Whitley County plan also requires an election. Bottom said the question before the voters will be whether to reorganize a joint school district composed of the Columbia City School Corp. and six townships as a single district with a 9member board.
