SYNOPSIS OF PLAY Probably every high school student has dreamed of being principal for a day! No More Homework is the successfully tested and colorful account, suggested by a newspaper story, of what actually happens when circumstances propel three students into the roles of principal, vice-principal, and school secretary at Ames High School. It all begins because Principal Lundquist just has to be away to speak at the State Principal's Convention. Miss Dill, regular school secretary, has a terrible cold and insists on going home for the day. Then Mr. Ames, school board president, decrees that tne student council officers shall take over for the day. And that's how Pamela Jones becomes acting-Principal! She gets off to a bad start when, in trying to buzz the janitor, she rings the fire alarm bell instead. Then she has to decide whether to stand behind an unpopular teacher and whether to keep the school's star athlete out of the State Basketball Tournament. Not the least of Pam's worries is good-natured Buzz Bailey, acting-vice-principal, who grandly advises a gossipy student that There will be no more homework! Then there's Faversham Lightly, Jr. who would rather sleep than eat--and spends most of his time doing both! To add to Pam's grief, the home ec” teacher is late; and Shalimar Ames, her hated However. . . complications are convincingly resolved in the end. Shalimar's conspiracy to implicate Pam in the robbery of the play-ticket money is exposed, much to the dismay of her pompous father. Even the audience finds itself playing an unexpected part! rival, turns on her honeyed charm to lure the reluctant Buzz into taking ovei the class--with some truly astonishing results! And finally, with the school play, Rusty Wings set to open that very night she loses the key to the trunkful of costumes. 19
