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. I wonder why Mr. Midgett is looking at me like that, worries Stephanie Hamilton (Bunny) during the senior play. Lights, curtains, action, shouted the cast, crews, and committees on the opening night of the senior class’s presentation of Mother Is A Fresh- man. On the nights of December 10 and 11 over 900 people filled the auditorium to see the play directed by Mr. Richard Midgett. The play proved to be a success and over $450 was added to the senior treasury. Tom Shepard and Charlotte Barney shared the duties of Student Director. Serving as co-stage chairmen were Tommy Beene and Jane Esenwein. Tommy’s committee included Wood Williams, Sandye Carter, Sandi Gallaugher, Richard Bates, and Jim Hampton. Included in Jane’s committee were Mike Chernosky, Mary Jane Marquis, Mary Ann Carlton, Becca Foster, Diane Martin, and Manon Dougherty. This year’s art consultant was Dan Fagerstrom. Cherry Crook served as make-up chairman with Janice McLellan, Martha Crowley, Tanis Chandler, and Nanette Williams as her assistants. Pat Muscanere served as costume and hair consultant.

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.

In original oratory, Ronny Uselton made it to semifinals. anuary Activities Range I just hope that the boy she is with is an understanding These dances arc great, but will we ever get to dance together?” muses chap,” contemplates John Ball as he kisses Susie Sharp.
