OUR JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Don't Darken My Door, a three act comedy, by Anne Coulter Martens, was presented by the Junior class on April 28, 1948, at the city hall. It was a very entertaining play. Rosemary and Poppy get strange ideas of romance because of some romantic novels by Jane Perkins. Tom and Alic don't like the books and would like to get their hands on the author. There is a storm and Jane Perkins, taking a vacation in this city, has an accident with her bicycle and is brought into the Kent home. When Jane finds how these men feel toward Jane Perkins, she decides to call herself Jane Price. Jane has a sprained ankle and has to stay at the Kent home for a few days. Jane tries to patch up the romances that have been broken up because of her novels. Mr. Kent acts as if he hates Tom. Rosemary defends Tom and begins sneaking out into the garden each day to meet him. They decide to elope. Two old maiden ladies next door to the Kents, thinking Tom a burglar lurking in the garden, came to warn Mr. Kent but learning of what was about to happen hid behind the divan to watch. Tom and Rosemary are leaving when Mr. Kent comes down for his pipe and thinking there are burglars lets out a yell and Alic comes in with a loud shout stick em up!
