M- zWm-fW,m ' The Importance of Being Earnestn by Oscar Wilde, was chosen as the june '42 class play because it was so well suited to the talents of the 12A class and because of the zip in the plot, so necessary for a successful perform- ance. Perky Hemenway, Ruth Ot- terstein, George Dauphine, and Bob Wriglit won the four main leads. The supporting cast consisted of BillieU Lewis, Walter Carpenter, Grayce Nor- ton, Bob Brin, and Virginia McClure. Although the play was originally written as a period play, it has been rewritten and modernized. A good ex- ample of this modernizing was Ruth's and Priscilla's Ucatty' scene. Sugar was the subject of the spat, and the discussion of this priority was defi- nitely up-to-date. The story, which concerns a case of mistaken identity, was very un- usual in that the four main leads were equally important. Over one hundred members of the senior class enthus- iastically turned out for the prelimi- nary try-outs. Of these, about twenty- Hve remained in the finals. It was only after much deliberation that the nine characters were Hnally chosen. 0 Tin Pan Alley was the theme of the very successful IZA Mixer. All of the members of the class who wished, dressed as songs. Patricia Luft as the Irish XVashwoman, Bette Kiebert as Flat Foot Floogie, and Richard Still- son as Big Bad Knutei' were chosen as the I'fl0St originally dressed. Covers of popular songs, balloons, and posters were used for decorations. Everyone agreed that it was oodles of fun. O Credit Bureau-Heywood, Rowland Banks, and Blegen. x 0 XVhat are we here for?
