SENIOR PLAY Dowager Lady Ingram (Nadine Winkelried) takes a Hop at a most embarrassing time. Rochester (Glen Ingraham) and Jane (Ella Rliee Kissen) take their curtain calls with the supporting cast. The moving drama Jane Eyre,” adapted from Charlotte Bronte ' s famous hook, was presented in November of 1949. The scene was the main parlor of Thornfield Hall, a mansion owned by Mr. Edward Rochester (Glen Ingraham). When Jane Eyre (Ella Rliee Kissen) is hired as a governess for Rochester ' s ward, Adele Varens (Janice Ault), she does not realize the importance that this new position will have on influencing her life. Inexperienced and shy, Jane is be- friended by Mrs. Fairfax (Pal Benko), the housekeeper of Thornfield Hall. Nevertheless Jane is not entirely happy, for there is a mystery about the house which she cannot understand. The second act introduces a group of Rochester ' s well-to-do friends, including Lady Ingram (Nadine Winkelried); and her daughters, Blanche (Patti Hefllon) and Mary (Pat Kee). Blanche wishes to marry Rochester for financial reasons, but he secs through her clever ruses. Besides, he has become more and more attached to Jane. He is in the act of declaring his love for her when the door of the west wing opens, and a fiendish creature (Shirley McKibljen) with matted hair and wild eyes rushes out, declaring that she is Rochester ' s wife. Shaken by the knowledge that Rochester was forced to marry a mentally-unbalanced woman, Jane leaves. One year later she returns for a last visit, to find that Rochester ' s wife was killed in a fire and that he has lost his eyesight. Jane decides to remain with Rochester. 11
