The one act play members performed The Wizard of Oz
on Saturday, December 18th as their Fall dinner theatre
fund raiser. Featuring a very large cast, it was one of the
biggest productions that Prairie Valley has ever had. The
play was performed at the Assembly of God fellowship
hall, and the meal was spaghetti. The performance went
well and the class made quite a bit of money.
The main cast members were:

Bonus Riddles
By Christina
A man is born in 1946 and dies
in 1947. Yet he lives to the age
of 86, how is that possible?
There are three men going up a
set of stairs when the power
goes out. They go up 2 flights,
then 5 flights. Then they go up
13 flights and go down 7
flights. They go up 6, down 4,
up 24, down 23, up 18, down 5,
up 45, and down 34. They each
walk through three different
doors. The first door has a
hungry lion behind it. The
second has an electric chair.
The third has a full firing squad
with loaded guns. One man
survives. Which room did he
choose?
You think you’ve solved this one? See Mr. Kincy!
