Peevy, Monte's mother-in-law- - - - - -Geraldine Thiele The entire play takes place in the living room of Miss Elvira Hunnicutt's country house near New York. Miss Hunnicutt is a sharp-spoken, intelligent-looking woman who is very rich and makes everyone happy at the end of the play. Perky is a servant and her manner toward her employer is free and outspoken, as if she were a privileged member of the household. Curtis is her nephew whom she raised as a child. Saule is her secretary who wanted to help her neighbor and spent all her money on herself instead. She had to borrow some from Curtis to help her neighbor. Monte and Susan are a comedy team. Mrs. Peevy is Susan's mother who comes to take Susan homo with her because she thinks Monte can't support her. She is surprised whon Monte pays back all the money she had spent on them. Mrs. Hunnicutt decides to give everyone ten thousand dollars instead of waiting until she dies so she will have some fun out of it herself. Her terms are that thoy must spend it all in twonty-four hours or return what is left to her. She has concealed a dictaphone in the living room so she can hear what her relatives think of her. Everyone is surprised at what ho hears, and still more surprised when she says she is still going to give them the money. The climax comes in the third act when everyone comes back to report on his spending. The play comes to a happy ending when Ruth and Edward and Curtis and Beatrice find comfort in each other. A rollicking interact was given by fourteen members of the senior class. Presented by Luclla Cooney with the assistance of the entire play cast, it portrayed a day from the life of a backwoods mountaineer family. It was rich with slapstick humor.
