"Annie Oakley' Shoots Up Central
by Mary Ellen Sweeney
Rifles cracked and Indians whooped for three nights last week
in Warriner Auditorium during the performances of "Annie Get Your
Gun" presented by the class in p
The colorful days of the old
West were relived again as Jan
Stobbart, Saginaw sophomore, became Annie Oakley, a rough and
ready gal from the back woods
and one of the most famous
women sharp-shooters of all time.
Jan displayed great ability, especially in the ease with which she
handled her part.
Annie's talent for shooting
was discovered in her first
match with Frank Butler, Don
Kasper, Bay City sophomore,
her greatest rival and later her
lover. Don did a fine job as the
indignant shooting champion of
the world and the ardent lover
of the woman who defeated
him.
Delmar Selvala, Pontiac freshman, as the eccentric Foster Wilson, proprietor of the Wilson
House and first manager of Annie brought many laughs from
the audience. Smooth, fast-talking
Charlie Davenport, Ron Dunham,
Niles junior, and Mac, the barber,
a little man with a big voice, Bill
Balwinski, Bay City sophomore,
portrayed their parts well.
Bob Ramsey, Mt. Pleasant sophomore, as the ruddy, white-haired
Buffalo Bill and owner of the
"Buffalo Bill Wild West Show"
and Jim Barry, Atlanta sophomore, as Pawnee Bill, owner of
the rival show, kept things going
lay production.
Centralites Fight
Polio in Campaign
The campus drive to raise funds
for the March of Dimes polio
campaign began this past week
at Central Michigan College.
Members of the Booster Club
began yesterday to collect funds
from students and faculty members. They are asking each student to contribute 10 cents and

chairman of the drive.
during the whole performance.
Annie's brother Jake, Mike
Fleming, Mt. Pleasant freshman,
and her sisters Jessie, Nan Mc-
Intyre, Battle Creek junior, and
Minnie, Dorothy Berlin, Flint
sophomore, were hilarious in their
portrayal of the "unedge-ee-cated"
Oakley clan.
Merilyn    Cushman,    Owosso
sophomore, presented the aspect
of the doting mother and jealous
assistant  when she refused to
acknowledge   the   marriage   of
her   daughter   Winnie,   Carol
Arndt,  Midland  sophomore,  to
Tommy,  Ed  Ethridge,  Pinconning  sophomore.
Sitting Bull, a great Indian hero
and adopted father of Annie, was
played by Jim Strohmer, Detroit
senior.  Jim  was indeed  colorful
along with his group  of Indian
warriors and maidens.
