Through the all-school play, ‘‘In- herit the Wind” Nov. 22, students dramatized the 1 1 -day trial of bi- ology teacher John Scopes. Written by Robert E. Lee and Jerome Lawrence, the play re-en- acts the famous monkey trial” of 1925 in Hillsboro, Tenn. Bert Cates (Scopes’ ficticious name) stood trial for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution instead of the seven- day creation philosophy given in the book of Genesis. Matthew Harrison Brady (in the real trial William Jennings Bryan) proved Cates guilty despite the fight given by defense attorney Henry Drummond (in real life Clarence Darrow) . Under the direction of Miss Oza Cunningham, the cast, which con- sisted of 48 students and a small monkey, practiced nightly for five weeks before presenting the play. Volunteer HHS’ers sold tickets, made costumes, created posters and ushered. Dramatics Club applied makeup. Art department construct- ed backdrops. With a worm as an object lesson, Michael Nance explains the theory of evolution. 22

Members of the senior class en- acted the comedy The Family Man” in the HHS auditorium March 28. Because of inadequate response from seniors, two freshmen and seven sophomores appeared in play. Comedy, authored by B. B. Zavin and Carl Leo, concerned the Cahill family’s problems when Mr. Cahill (Dennis Shoup) broke his leg while playing ball. Ordered to a six-month rest, Mr. Cahill tended to the do- mestic chores while Mrs. Cahill (Peggy Carlson) went to work. Complications arose when Mr. Ca- hill became homemaker of the year. Miss Oza Cunningham directed the production. The stage crew constructed settings and handled the lighting, while, costume, prop- erty, publicity and ticket commit- tees lent their efforts.
