'Dirt Work at the Crossroads' The Senior Class play, Dirty Work at the Cross- roads, a satire on the old-time gay nineties melo- drama, was presented on November 13 and 14. Bringing into play as many of the time-tested tricks, devices, and bits of acting as could be used, the cast and crews took the audiences right back into the day of vile villains, scheming villainesses, pure heroines, and brave heroes. The setting fa garden outside the poor heroinels farm cottagej was done with a series of wings and a large painted backdrop, and the addition of railroad tracks in the final scene is still vividly remembered by all who saw the fast express roaring down the tracksn as the hero and faithful farm hand were helplessly tied to the tracks. John Smith alternately raved and purred as the vile villain who constantly was foiled in all his evil attempts, Nancy Sherman was his scheming companion - both of course being from the City. Victims of their treachery and double-dealing were Janet Grissinger, the pure and long-suffering he- roine,. Doris Kellison, her poor deluded mother, Dan Fishel, the patient and honest farm hand, and Glenn Bear, the brave but slightly-dense hero. Visitors from the city included the wealthy so- ciety matron, played by Sally Ditmer, her daughter - Darlene Baker and their French maid - Diane Freed.
