HURRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD MAID TO ORDER The last of the two all- school plays, Maid to Order, was presented on two consecutive weekends, March 18 and 19 and March 23 and 26, 1983. This play, written by Tom Taggart, was a farce about a misunderstanding of who the real maid of the Martin household was supposed to be. Faith Martin was happily married to the football coach, Carl Martin, of Yarmouth College. On the eve of the football team ' s biggest game, a pep rally was scheduled. That was also the evening that Julian Narramore, an actor and an old friend of Faith ' s, was to appear in a program of Shakespearean readings. Since the two events conflicted, a war breaks out between the Athletic Department and the Speech Department. Faith finds herself right in the middle of the war. On top of that, Miss Speare, head of the Speech Department, ac- cuses her of carrying on with Julian. To add more to the problem, Faith ' s rich Aunt Abby, who has never met Carl, was due to arrive that day. Unfortunately, Aunt Abby arrived when Carl was at football practice, and, since Julian was in the Martin house, she thought that Julian was Carl. Unfor- tunately for Julian, Carl found out, through Miss Speare, that Julian was carrying on with Faith. But to top off Faith ' s problem, her maid quit on the afternoon of a big dinner party, and Julian, who was trying to escape the wrath of Carl, masqueraded as the new maid — then a new maid ar- rives, then another, then another. To everyone ' s amazement, there were five people who claimed to be the new maid. After everything was sorted out, Faith and Carl forgave each other, and the play had a happy ending.
