On the night of December 18, 1944, after weeks of diligent (?) practice and being postponed by a baby blizzard, the Class of '45 presented its dramatic effort, Girl Shy,” to a packed house. The plot concerns two college roommates, bashful Tom (Ernie Scott) and the extremely un-bashful Oke (Doc Allen), who keep a bachelor apartment with only the help of a cleaning girl, Birdie Laverne (June Lannon). and an ancient and very amusing colored laundress named Asthma (Peg Merscher). Tom’s father (Bill Mattoon) arrives a few days before his graduation, escorting Aunt Carolyn (Betsy Crawford) and Sylvia (Pat Macllroy), a girl from Tom’s home-town whom papa is very desirous of having him marry—and she doesn’t think it’s such a bad idea herself. However, still another female, Babs Sanford (Jean Driscoll), has her eye on Tom and impersonates the cleaning girl in order to meet him. Babs doesn’t count on being discovered, but Oke’s one-and-only-of-the-moment, Peaches (Janet Call), has seen her pictures at the home of a mutual friend; thus creating a tense situation for all concerned. Then, just to make it more complicated, in walks Chuck Mayo, Birdie’s ex-heartthrob (Burr Winburn) looking for her. From then on, the plot moves by leaps and bounds, including a masquerade, a case of mistaken identity, and even a kidnapping. But, it ends happily, and all the men get hooked—even the college dean (Cliff Squier); the very POETIC class poet, Alfred Tennyson Murgatroyd Harm Parmerter) and even our girl-shy friend. Tom ... a fitting end. It was swell fun doing the play ... ah, memories! Remember how Peg’s grease-paint was smeared all over everything—and everybody . . . and Doc’s lovely solo, Oh, Bury Me Deep on the Lone Prairie!’’ . . . and the kidnapping scene . . . and the matinee ending ... ah, yes . . . and when Jean couldn’t remember how to tie Ernie’s tie . . . we won’t forget it! The stage managers—Olan Payne and Gene Cook and property managers Jeanne Love and Verna Shek-ell contributed a great share of very able success which the play enjoyed, and as for Mrs. Rich, our director, we wish to thank her from the bottoms of our li’l hearts. ..........Curtain
