Students
show skill
in 3-act play
By Justine Weatherford
When the Heppner High
School Drama Club began
looking for a winter play, the
members determined to try a
three-act mystery. Then they
and their advisors, Jane
Rawlins and Chuck Wyatt,
selected the drama, "The
Night Is My Enemy" written
by Fred Carmichael.
Mr. Wyatt, the young
teacher from Longview,
Wash., had been influential in
selecting the play and worked
enthusiastically with the
group during early rehear
sals. He died in an automobile
accident in December.
Several members of each
class in the school as well as
several members of the com
munity cooperated skillfully
in achieving the success that
their Tuesday and Thursday
evening audiences enjoyed.
" Senior Alice Abrams car
ried, in a most convincing
manner, the major role as
Roane Shepperley a lovely,
totally blind but very percep
tive and graceful young wo
man. Other seniors who were
outstanding were Dale Hol
land as Dr. Ora Fontaine, an
idealistic villain; Jana Stea
gall as Hester Fontaine, his
clever wife; Ron Young as
Rodney Church, the Scotland
Yard detective and Dan Nix
who portrayed Tommy, the
retarded, disturbed son of two
old family servants.
Capable junior class actors
were Susan Johnson as the
elderly housemaid Margaret
Biller; Margaret Kincaid as
Augusta Garvey, a busybody
neighbor; and John Bier as
(he young attorney Gerald
Clayton who quickly fell in
love with lovely Roane.
Lisa Nix, a sophomore, who
took the role of Tessie, a young
housemaid, was delightful.
Veteran Jim Ackley, the
former school music teacher,
rounded out the cast as Hubert
Biller, an elderly handyman.
Because all of the perform
ers are very involved in
athletics and other activities,
they are to be commended for
their dedication in squeezing
out the hours of practice that
this excellent production re
quired. Any outstanding play points
to an outstanding stage crew.
Mardell James, a freshman,
served as stage manager, and
Suzie Jacobs, another fresh
man, handled the lights.
Sherri Cowett, a junior, man
aged the sound effects. The
Rev. John Maas lent his skill
as make-up supervisor.
Other students working with
the production were Patti
Huddleston and Janice Sher
man, publicity, and Patti
Toombs, Marti Baker, Dawna
Devin and Debby Borgens at
the box office.
Director Jane Rawlins has
been responsible for many
enjoyable productions during
her years of teaching in this
county at lone and Heppner.
Some of her early students at
lone, now very mature mem
bers of that community, are
still recalling plays she direc
ted there years ago.
Mrs. Rawlins felt especially
thankful to the following
persons who did so much to
bring about the successful
production. Mr. and Mrs. Dick
Rice of the Wagon Wheel Cafe
who loaned the furniture and
the pictures which so en
hanced the setting; husband
Bill Rawlins who worked with
the club to construct the set
and Bruce Martin for the
sound equipment.
Everyone felt grateful to the
four women who achieved the
.costuming of the players:
Mrs. Clista Venard, Mrs.
Lindsay Kincaid, Mrs. Bob
Abrams and Miss Debby
Borgens.
Now this play, which was set
in a country home along the
English coast in the year 1900
and which ueal with the
bizarre' "experiences which
rather suddenly involved the '
lovely blind ward of Dr. and
Mrs. Fontaine, their servants
and several visitors to their
home, has become part of the
to-be-long-remembered col
lection of well done plays
presented by the Heppner
High Drama Club.

Look at the camera, please.
Indoor picture-making makes
advances in 100 years
Indoor picture-taking, in
the early part of the cen
tury, meant either a long
time exposure or a messy,
smoky, open flash. A time
exposure required a tripod
and complete immobility on
the part of the model for a
relatively lengthy interval.
Even so, there had been
progress from the original
cumbersome, tedious, wet
plate photography. George
Eastman, whose first patent
in 1880 was a beginning
step in the quest to make
photography available to
everyone, had introduced
roll film and roll-film cam
eras in a variety of styles
and sizes.
The original No. 1 Kodak
camera, introduced in 1888,
had been a rectangular black
box, but the folding camera
followed within a few years.
The folding-camera format
pictured above was classic
and, although size and spe
cific features varied, the
basic outline remained the
same for many years. Today,
of course, with color film
and built-in electronic flash,
the girl in the Spanish shawl
would not have to sit still.
She could be pictured in full
color and full flight, with
fringes flying. Or, with high
speed film in the camera,
she could be photographed
by available light, without
flash.
