JUNIOR PLAY CAST unior Play Austin Goetz's farce, Hold Every- thing, was presented by the Junior Class on December 4, 1942. It was rat- ed as one of the most successful perform- ances of the school year. It also did its bit to cheer the servicemen, for it was given at the U.S.O. on December 7, 1942. The entire play was conceived in Caro- line Caruther's tourist home on Honey- moon Trail. Christopher Morgan, a successful banker, had set his heart on a match between his daughter, Connie, and Courtney Barret, the son of an old friend. Connie didn,t like this plan and when she learned that Courtney was coming to visit her, she ran away. Her friend, Bee VVilliams, went with her. Wheii the play opened, they were stay- ing at the tourist home for the night. There Connie met a strange young man, who became infatuated with her. Connie did not realize that he was Courtney Barret. In the meantime, Connie's father, who had discovered her flight, started off in pursuit of her. When his car broke down near the tourist home, he decided to remain there over night. Steve and Andy arrived soon after with a mysterious bag, and were followed by Detective Tim who was looking for them. The bag proved to be somewhat of a nightmare to poor Niobe, the color- ed maid. Then the talkative Mrs. Gibbs and her three charming daughters, on their way to Hollywood to enter pictures, arrived to spend the night. Complica- tions followed in quick succession. Ev- eryone grew suspicious of someone else and the mysterious bag started on a merry-go-round of ownership. The play was directed by Mr. La- zarus and a very efficient Junior Staff worked with him. w-I Honorary member Caroline Caruthers, a hotel proprietress ............
