 Rottoml 'tip!' The world premier of the June class play, “Bottoms Up,” was presented in Southwest 1 ligh School on May 23 and 24. This play was written and directed by Harold Gregory, speech instructor at Southwest. Tom Lundquist, as Algic Higgins, is a shy but brilliant student afflicted with gynecophobia, a morbid fear ol women. He is pledged to Bela Chi by Billy Drake (John Thomasberg) and Bulge Doolittle (Alan Moss, Jim Rognas). Billy's friend, Linda Howard (Marge Reinert-son, Janet Wampler), has been elected college queen after defeating Betty Warren, the dean’s niece (Joan Lagorio). Consequently, Betty changes the answers on Linda's chemistry paper in order to disqualify her, for she must meet the educational requirements for the queen. Billy persuades” Algic to tutor Linda for her chemistry makeup examination. Since she is confined to her room, Billy and Algic have to climb through her dormitory window. The boys arc caught by Betty who threatens to reveal their whereabouts. After they lock Betty in Linda's closet, the proceedings go on for the inauguration of Linda as queen. Poor Algic is forced to keep watch. However, the dean (Mary Dyer) discovers Betty; consequently, she expels everyone but the disguised Algie. He escapes to the prom and by tricking Betty into a confession, he proves to Dean Page that Linda is innocent. The others arc reinstated, and Algie, no longer girl-shy, takes over with Linda and leaves Billy alone with his indifferent approach.” 29
