Class of tho North Platte High

waB done. It would be somewhat dif
ficult' to plckout thoso who did ex
ceptionally well. The cast was strong
throughout and woll balanced so
that thoso who had tho most to say
were not especially conspicuous bo
cause of tho weakness of those who
took minor parts. Thoso who took
parts in tho "Fortune Hunter'' were
Louis Trexlcr, Raymond Tottenhoff,
