,ft sf' 5 Through the years at Earlham High many senior classes have presenteda play in their last year of school, but it is doubtfulthat any class ever encountered more difficulties in setting a date for the performance than the class of '51, The play Cheaper By The Doz- en, was selected by the class early in the school year,a cast was chosen in December, and full scale work on the production was started early in January. March 15 and 16 were the dates chosen and all seemed to be going well. Then it happened--of course, you all remember the big snow of March 10, ll, HCA QCLIQQI' g we 302211 7, 12 ...,,,., well, it continued for several days, long enough to close school, prevent final re- hearsals, and caused a postponement of the class play. The,next dates set were March Zl and ZZ. It was a valiant attempt, but again you know what happened--more snow, school closed again, and of course another postpone- ment. Now, as we go to press, the class play is scheduled for April 12 and 13--and will probablybe presented then barring future un- foreseen difficulties. CAST OF CHARACTERS Mr. Gilbreth, Dad. . .
