you Can't JaJze. 9t With you ft was a night to take with you always—this night of December 7. Wes Pidcock as Grampa was making a desperate effort to refrain from sneezing while Mr. Gregory glued on his heard. Naturally, the parts of the two lovers went to Janet Youngdahl and Jimmy Brooks. It certainly wasn't any hardship on them. Eleanor Hines was the play writing mother, Penny, whose husband was Jack Homan, as Paul. Paul made firecrackers—just peachy ones. His moronic helper, Mr. Dc Pinna, was Warren Finberg. Really there was nothing wrong with Mr. Dc Pinna that a good kick in the head wouldn’t help. Mary Jane F.wing as Essie, the would-be dancer in the family, appeared a little weak in the head, but she was nice. Archie Alexander as Ed, her husband, did all right, too. Barbara Coleman and Tom Eckert thoroughly enjoyed themselves as Reba and Donald, the two colored servants. The hardest thing Don did was to catch flies for Grandpa's snakes. Kenny Olson as Mr. Henderson, the befuddled tax collector, and Neil Bassett as the Mad Russian, Essie’s dancing teacher, Mr. Kolenkhov, kept the crowd in an uproar. The Grand Duchess, Olga Katinka, cousin of the Czar, has since become a waitress in Child’s. This unfortunate person was played by Janet Johnson. It was fun to sec Tony’s snobbish parents (Pat Gold and Ron McGill) finally bow to the Sycamores. Dan Peterson, John Taylor, and John Aldritt as the three G-Men eventually found what they weren’t looking for. Despite an almost losing battle with the “flu and other ailments, the play was a success. The credit should go to not only the cast but also to Barbara Hanson, the student director, to Hayne Freeman, and Carrie Olson, who handled tickets, and the stage crew. Last, though definitely not least, credit goes to our director, Mrs. Boylan. It was because of her untiring efforts that our play went on at all. None of us will ever forget “You Can’t Take It with You. 19
