Kaufman, was presented by the senior class April 5 and 6 under the direction of Ade- line Hoegberg. The comedy arises when Tony Kirby, the son of the president of Kirby and Company becomes engaged to Alice Sycamore, a secretary employed by Tony's father. In an effort to unite the two families, Alice's family invites Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, T ony's aristocratic par- ents to dinner. All plans seem in vain, when the Kirby's arrive an evening too early, and find the Syca- more family in their usual state of confusion. After spending an uncomfortable evening, both families find themselves being herded off to the city jail because of a misunderstanding. When life seems darkest for the young couple, Grandpa uses a bit of philosophy to show Mr. Kirby, Tony, and Alice, that a happy marriage could result if the families would try to cooperate together. About to leave for a date at the ,Monte Carlo Ballet are Tony KDarwin Spearingj and Alice fJoanne Adesj. I7

When Susan Abbott's attractive mother, Abby, en- tered as a freshman the same college where Susan was a sophomore, life became quite complicated for Susan. Because of financial difficulty, which would keep Sue from continuing with her schooling, Abby accepted a generous scholarship which provided enough to send them both through school. Expecting the cool treat- ment from the other students, Abby was quite sur- prised at the congenial way she was accepted by them. She also drew the attention of her Zoology instructor, Professor Michaels who Susan, unknown to her mother, had a great crush on. Here a conflict arises between mother and daughter. A charming solution is the answer in which Sue realizes Professor Michaels was just a passing fancy and was meant for her mother. Being the center of attention seems to please Mrs. Abby Abbott fSue Phillipsj, as Howie KBob Bolanderj, Jack fJohn Lindenj, Bill fiifrry Palmj and Bobo fBob Larson! willingly o zge. 'I6
