Elwood P. Dowd, played by Jordan Hanson,
claims to see Harvey, a giant white rabbit.
Harvey
Continued from page B-1
"As you can see, Harvey
is a Pooka," Dowd says.
However, only Dowd
sees Harvey, or so we
think at the beginning of
the play. Throughout the
course of the play, Dowd's
sister Veta Simmons,
played by Arielle Johnson,
and niece, Myrtle Mae
Simmons, played by Lau-
ren Thatcher, try to get
him committed to Chum-
ley's Rest Sanitarium.
"His mother recently
died, and then he met
Harvey, and Harvey never
left his side," Hanson said.
'+Harvey's a way to fill the
void."
However, the students
in the play said that it isn't
that simple, and that even
Veta Simmons admits to
seeing Harvey from time
tu time. and during a
memorable scene from the
play, Dr. Chumley meets
ftarvey ill his office.
The play questions tra-
dititm,[ Meas about sanity
and insanity, the students
said.
"Even crazy people
can be nice," said Travis
Hanes, who played Dr.
Chumley.
The play questions who
is more crazy, Dowd, who
frequently converses with
a P.ooka, but is pleasant,
charming and a friend to
all, or his family and doc-
tors, who scheme to com-
mit him to a mental insti-
tution so he will no longer
impede their social life.
Dowd goes in and out
of the sanitarium, and
eventually agrees to treat-
ment, until his sister real-
izes she loves him the way
he is.
"Well I've wrestled with
reality for 35 years, Doc-
tor, and I'm happy to state
I finally won out over it,"
Dowd says.
One of Dowd's most
memorable lines sums up
much of the plot.
"Years ago my mother
used to say to me ... 'In
this world, Elwood, you !
must be oh so smart or
oh so pleasant.' Well, for
years I was smart. I rec-
ommend pleasant. You
may quote me," he says.
Chris Fawcett, a teach-
er at SHS who directed
the play, said he chose it
simply because it's an en-
joyable play.
"I just think it's a great
play ... it's simple, and
good for students," he
said.
Overall, he said he was
pleased with their perfor-
mances.
"Our dress rehearsal
was a little rough, last
night was better, and to-
night was great," he said. i

helped with the Christ-
mas party last month. This
month the hostesses were
Margaret Loughlin, Pat
LeClair and Jenifer Meier

cream puffs filled with ei-
ther chocolate or vanilla

nilla ice cream.
The tables were deco-
rated with silver and blue
tinsel and gambling chips

game we were about to
play. Linda VanLandinham
won the door prize.
We had a guest all the
way from Boise, Idaho,
Darla McDaniel, daughter
of Judy Callaghan. Pam
Wood, chairman of the Sun-
shine Committee will be
asked to send out welcome
letters to any new members
in the future as they join
the Women's Club to en-
courage their participation
and make them feel wel-
come.

overview of the club's finan-
cial situation for the coming

on future requests for dona-
tions.
There will also be contin-
ued discussion next month
about how the club votes.
Should they continue to
vote by a show of hands
or would it be more fair to
have a paper ballot. The
feeling being that they may
obtain a more fair vote by
paper ballot.
Brenda Stainbrook is in
charge of their luncheon
off the island in April and
is suggesting that they
dine at the Lake Limerick
Country Club. Beginning
next month they will collect
the cost of the lunch, which
needs to be prepaid.
Carol Bush requested
to meet with the Board
to discuss how the club
should handle planning for
a memorial luncheon in the
future.
With the need to plan
the May Luncheon just
ahead of them, Patti fore-
warned everyone that since
it worked so well picking a
piece of colored paper from
a bowl which indicated
what job members were as-
signed to for the Christmas
'Party that she would like to
plan that method again for
the May luncheon.
Della Rogers started a
discussion about scholar-
ships for this next year
and moved to award three
$t,000 in 2011. Two of the
scholarships will come
from The Harstine Island
Women's Club budget and
the other from the interest
from our Chase Endow-
ment. Linda VanLanding-
ham seconded the motion
and it was passed.
Donna Hamilton an-
nounced that next month's
program was being planned
by Diane Myers. and Alli-
son Main. The program will

Inquiring Minds will

2011. The first presentation
is scheduled for Sunday,
Jan. 30 at 2 p.m. The sec-
ond speaker is on February
27 at 2 p.m. and the third is
Mar. 27 at 2 p.m. These pre-
sentations are all held at
the Harstine Island Com-
munity Hall with the doors

Everyone was reminded
that in March they will
have their popular soup lun-
cheon with Kinser through
Zeeben bringing food.
The organizers for the
Rod and Jenny Hammett
party are still putting the
event together. It will take
place Saturday, Jan. 22 at
the Community Hall.
The organizers, Barbara
LaJune, Dudley Panchot,
Richard Peet and Mary
Nichols, would like to have
a potluck dinner starting at
5 p.m. It will be a BYOB
dinner, kind of like a regu-
lar Community Club meet-
ing.
They also need to raise
some money through dona-
tions before the event takes
place so they can buy a go-
ing away gift. As we all
know, Rod and Jenny have
been a driving force for
our island community for
years and their departure
from the island is going to
leave a big hole.
So, give one of the or-
ganizers a call and donate
a little money today. If
you've been meaning to
donate some money but
haven't gotten around to
it yet, Richard will be at
this Friday's Community
Club meeting, so bring your
checkbook.
