 Just what is wrong with wearing slacks under a formal?” questions Dianna Patterson (Helen) during dress rehearsal for the senior play. Seniors Present The hustle and bustle of Broadway backstage was brought to AHS on the opening night of the Senior Play, Mother Is A Freshman.” Abigail Fortitude Abbot (CherieTurney)created quite a problem for her daughter Susan (Betsy Hiett) when she enrolled at the college her daughter at- tended. The six man-nine woman cast included the crotchity college dean (Joe Reynolds), Mrs. Miller (Shirley Reynolds), the pleasant housemother and Professor Michaels, (Dalton Rhea), the good-look- ing zoology professor. The college students completed the background. They were Sylvia (Irene Melton), a studious girl who wore glasses; Bunny (Stephanie Hamilton), a cute, rather naive girl; Helen (Dianna Patterson), a sophis- ticated girl interested only in boys; and Carrie (Beverly Beesley), a happy-go-lucky girl. Completing the list were Clara, (Susan Tubb), a scatter-brain girl who tagged after Susan; Marge, (Donna Lewis), a pleasant, rather heavy girl; Bobo, (Ron Snider), a good looking, but rather conceited boy and Jack, (David Wilson), Bill (Mike Millican), and Howie, (Bobby Greene) the good-natured col- lege boys. Not every mother gets to be a freshman. boasts Cherie Turney, the mother, to her new-found admirers, Bobby Greene as Howie, David Wilson as Jack, Mike Millican as Bill, and Ron Snider as Bobo, who seem to find the fact hard to believe. 24

Various solos were presented by Colin Wright singing “You’re All I Want For Christmas,” Baby It’s Cold Outside,” sung by Bobby Pentecost and Shirley Reynolds, singing Christmas Song.” I used that mouth-wash just like you told me, Cary,” proclaimed Bettie Williams to Cary Courtright, so quit making those faces.” 23

Mother Is A Freshman' If there’s anything that I can’t stand, it’s that made-up look, frets Joe Reynolds as Mr. Richard Midgett readies him for the play.
