Tonight at 8, the curtain goes up on the premiere of "The Little Dog Laughed", senior class play, at the Saline High theater. The three-act comedy will also
be performed Friday and Saturday evenings.
Photographed at their first dress rehearsal last Monday, members of the.
cast (shown left to right, front to rear) :
Sam Moser, Bruce Chambers, Anita Larson, Nancy Craigmile, Karol Engel;
Janet Riemer, Jean Wilson, Jan Austin, Nancy Armbruster, Larry Evans, Jim
Carman, Jacque Schmok, T. Mueller, Cindy Zick, Mary Scherdt, Dave Wallo, Linda Struble. Director Mary Lee, ahd her assistants Beth Volz and Herschel Janes,
report that the production has already survived such crises as "the day" Jean
Wilson lost her voice", and the "desperate search for a gifted dog, needed to
round out the cast". They also report that the show is entertaining, funny,
worth the admission.
Behind-the-scenes workers include Dave Strait, sound; Dave Schaible, lights;
Jim Schmok, props; Janet Kaab, prompter and understudy; Pam DesMarais,-
costume chairman; Jan Cochrane, make-up chairman. 	
Nobody Reads Enough

She loves living in Saline
and likes Saline High School
very much . . . "This is a
smaller school than those on
the Cape; everyone is very
friendly and the students are
very cooperative."
She also likes classical music and plays; cooking and
sewing (she makes all of her
own clothes); the creative
side of housekeeping and entertaining; and, of course,
reading. "Nobody ever does
enough reading."
"Nobody ever does enough
reading," observes Mary Esther Lee, who teaches college
prep English and English literature at the High. School
. . . and is now directing the
Senior Play, as well.
Mrs. Lee's production of
the play got some assistance
from her husband, Noble, a
first year law student at the
University of Michigan who
found time to offer helpful
hints and assist in building
sets. They live at 296 Clark
St.
Mrs. Lee comes from Fair-
born, O.: she got her BA at
Oberlin College. She taught
English and biology for a
year in Westlake, O., before
her marriage. Then * she
taught high school English
for a year in Bourne, Mass.,
when her husband was a lieutenant in the Air Force and
stationed there. Then came
1% years of teaching in Falmouth, Mass.
They lived on Cane Cod for
three years . . . "Beautiful.
Very much like Michigan, except for the ocean. We lived
...just 1% miles from the ocean
and could hear the fog-horn."

Saline Hospital
Visiting Hours
Attenuated
Visiting hours at Saline
Community Hospital have
been extended in length, but
limited as to the number of
visitors permitted at any one
time.
Any patient in the medical-
surgical wing may now receive visitors anv time between 11 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
. . . including meal times . . .
but only two visiting cards
will be issued for each bed
and no visitor will be admitted without a card.
The change was made, according t o Administrator
John Strawbridge. in the belief that it would "speed the
patient's recovery; many patients are exhausted by too
many visitors at once", and
"will also help the visitors,
since they can come whenever it is convenient to
them".
Visits during lunch and
supper may improve a patient's appetite, Strawbridge
observed.
There is no change in visiting hours in the maternity
wing, where visiting is geared to the times when the infants are not out'of the nursery and traffic through the
area must be restricted.
