 Imagination is everything. Now, lot's get to the bottom of this. Where are the bonds? Junior Play Examines Reality Although fraught with production difficulties, the junior class play cast trooped the boards and rib-tickled its audiences in a sterling presentation of The Curious Savage.” A psychological situation-comedy, the drama is set in a mental institution populated by a weird assortment of the maladjusted. The plot evolves and devolves from the tragicomic actions of withdrawn patients and their sane” relatives as they come into conflict over a, bond issue. Mrs. Savage, whose bonds are sought by her greedy relatives, has come to the institution to withdraw from life. As she comes to know her fellow inmates, she begins to realize one must face reality — not try to escape it. She finds a new reality in the values demonstrated bv her companions in illness, and returns to the outside world renewed in spirit. Hannibal — B. Bauer, Mrs. Paddy — V. Nuss. Fairie — A.

Tense Drama Moves Audience The stage version of ffThe Diary of Anne Frank posed an intriguing challenge to a cast of talented and conscientious senior dramatists. Under the astute direction of Mr. R. Curry and in the atmosphere of a grimly realistic dual-level staging, the seniors projected a serious drama of terrifying suspense. Based on the poignant diary of a precocious young girl, the story revolves about the lives of eight Jewish refugees hiding in terror from the Nazis during World W ar II. Ironically discovered shortlv before D-Dav, they are enveloped in tragedv — either by death or in mourning for loved-ones lost. This was the First serious broadway drama to be played here in the last ten years. I still have my legs.”
