MCHS senior Mason Bard will portray Clay Wadsworth in the Red Herring cast. “Wadsworth is the butler, and he’s kind of mysterious and the driving force of the show,” noted Mason. “It’s a really engaging play and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.” Fellow MCHS senior Luke Weaver will be Wadsworth in the Smoking Gun cast. Luke said that the extensive number of lines to memorize is one of the challenges of the role, but he enjoys bringing Wadsworth to life. “The most fun part about this role, and really with any role, is See Baron Stage pg 3

“I’ve known this house all of my life, and I’ve always wanted to live in it,” said Donna Hlavacek, referring to her home on East Ferdinand Street in Manheim. Faced in pink Indiana limestone, the mid-century Cape Cod was built in 1954 by Raymond Hollinger, the former owner of Hollinger’s Mill on South Oak Street, as a retirement residence for him and his wife. Donna grew up on South Oak Street and has fond memories of the house with the “stegosaurus wall” of stone alongside the driveway and walkway leading to the front entrance. The property will be one of nine featured on the annual Women’s Club of Manheim (WCM) Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 8, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. See Tour Of Homes pg 3
