The Dramatic Publishing Company The Senior Play of 195.5 was a three act comedy. The incidents which occurred throughout the play could hap- pen and many times do take place in everyday life. Mr. Porter is the pastor of a local church ln a small town, where every incident is enlarged to attract interest and much discussion. The Porter family consisted of six teenage young people and a very affectionate Mother, who was constantly caring for her family in the parsonage. Many amusing incidents took place, which created much unnecessary trouble for the entire family, due to the efficient work of Miss Jonas. Miss Jonas was an elderly womanin town, who thought it to be her duty to see that the preacher's children set a good example. She was continually taking action shots of the children with her camera. when she felttheir conduct was under the standard. The report immediately went to Rev. Porter accompanied per- sonally by Miss Jonas and her camera. Throughoutthe conflict with circumstances, the Porters remained together, and at the completion of their experi- ences, they are still very glad that Papa was a Preacher.
