Senior Class Pla When Glenn McCullough casually set the stage, the audience relaxed to make itself part of the families of Our Town written by Thornton Wilder and presented by the Senior Class Wednesday, April 25, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Dunnigan. Grovers Corner, New Hampshire, provided the setting of the play. Act One, entitled The Daily Life, introduced us to Emily Webb and George Gibbs played by Doris Palya and Roy Surprenant respectively. The second act, Love and Marriage, found George and Emily falling in love. George proposed to Emily in a drug store scene and the two were married in a later scene. Nine years after her marriage to George, Emily died and joined her friends and relatives on the Peaceful l-lilltop. During this third act in a very moving scene was shown the peace and quiet of death which can never be understood by the living. Even Emily did not understand it until she tried to relive her twelfth birthday, when she learned that death brings an eternal peace. a 4
