The Girl, and the climax of the play resolves the conflict between them.

tive stranger, is Dave Andrews. Bill Reese is cast as Jack Ranee, the sheriff. The rest of the
cast is comprised of a colorful variety of miners and two Indians who inhabit Cloudy Ridge,
the mining town.

Lee. Max Whittaker is the technical director, and Rex Coslor is the student technical di
rector. . V
