SENIOR CLASS PLAY JUNE DAWN” The play is the story of a movie struck girl, Ann Nelson, who invites a motion picture company to film some of its sequences at the high school where her father is principal. A temperamental director and two young actors, Melissa Clark and Sparky Reagan, arrive at the Nelson home. Although Ann's father promises the head of the Board of Education, Andrew Craig, that there will be no disruptions, disruptions hardly describes the events that quickly follow. Because of her ambitions, Ann breaks with the high school track star. Her cousin John decides to give up his teaching career to Marry Melissa Clark. Andrew Craig's daughter is arrested for speeding with Sparky Reagan. The climax of this hectic week comes when Ann rings the fire bell right in the middle of Mr. Craig's speech at assembly, and the student body comes pouring out for a scene in the picture. Ann finally sacrifices her ambitions and makes everything come out happily for everyone in the end. She also learns that Life really dawns for a girl when she learns to be unselfish, as Mrs. Nelson says. 24
