Our junior Class Play ELMER AND THE LOVE BUG A comedy in one act, by Beatrice Humiston McNeil, was presented in the spring of our junior Class year of 1947, under the direction of Mr. Lensegrav. With Mother away and Elmer safely tucked in camp, the girls of the Collier family decide to have a formal dinner party. It's a big event and as the T oceed with their prepar- tions they are thrilled with the pro ct of not having Elmer around to upset their smoothly planned schedule. But that little darling can't be kept in any one place for any length of time: no sooner have they expressed their joy at his absence when he pops in and not in too agreeable a mood. Social life has no appeal to Elmer, and girls--well, they're just taboo! It's the great outdoors that attracts our young hero-that is, until a sweet young thing by the name of Millicent Carr creeps up on him unaware. And Millicent seems to know just the right thing to say and when to say it. The lovebug gets Elmer and he's pretty badly bitten but with each bite the audience was furnished with plenty of good whole some comedy.

PETER, BEWARE! Peter Beware , a comedy in three acts, was presented by the Senior class on February 24, 1948, under the direction of Miss Hehr . Peter Barrett will inherit several millions from his de- ceased Uncle, provided he doesn't marry within a year. If he does, Eunice, his half-sister, gets the money. Peter doesn't know this, but Eunice does. She promptly puts a bevy of good- looking girls on Peter's trail, hoping he'll be snared by one of them before the year is up. Poor Peter is pursued by damsels until he throws his hat in the door before he enters. Then, in comes Melinda, unspoiled and utterly adorable. She knows nothing of the will--and Eunice's ruse. Peter and Melinda are made for each other, and it doesn't take them long to find it out. Then Peter discovers why all the girls are paying so much atten- tion to him. He even suspects Melinda, and tells her off as a heart- less little gold-digger. But Flo, the negro maid, does a cupid act that brings down the house on a play that has a grand array of youthful parts. Cast: Peter and Melinda, a crafty Eunice, her sponging relative, and her hen-pecked Archie, the irrepressible Flo, a crafty stenographer, the three charmers whom Eunice engages, a Hollywood agent, and Sa.rn, Peter's likeable friend.
