For the past eighteen years, Mrs. Legee and the third graders have been showing the people of Huntley a few of the highlights of Abraham Lincoln's life with the annual "Lincoln Play"
This year there was a difference. Thanks to Solarcrete Energy Efficient Builders, every student in the third grade wore a period appropriate costume. All of the boy's costumes were made historically correct by Naomi Fettes of the White Oak Emporium in Union. Several other helping hands aided in the completion of this project. '
The third graders did a fine job with the performance. Many hours must have been spent practicing for this event. Several performances were given. They traveled to Woodstock to the delight of the residents of a nursing home and performed twice in the grade school, once during the moming of February 11, and again on Monday evening, Feb. 15.
The main characters were: Narrator-Sarah Ryan ic Jessica Kittel, Abe Lincoln-Pat Kearns, Mother-Angie Diedrick, Father-Scott Dvorak, Robert-Ryan Christiansen, Ted-Mark Skradski, Soldier, 1-Scott Ruth, Soldier 2-Matt Zimmerman, Soldier 3-Mike Kresal, Sally-Jackie Dallaska, Johnny-Aaron Mobley, Douglas-Peter Konopka, Mary Todd Lincoln-Jessica Kittel, Indian-Bryan Borchart.
