DRAMA SENIOR PLAY Our senior class play, Tattletale, was presented on November 14 under the direction of Mr. Osborn The entire play takes place in Fairview, at the Blaine home. Patty Blaine, the tattletale, has many great ambitions. I-ler greatest wish is that she will be a famous author. She has written a story entitled Her Secret Heart, which she hopes Paul Cummings will publish in his paper. Ida May, her girl friend, takes the story to the paper for her so that no one will guess her identity. The next day Patty is very happy until she finds that she has sent her diary instead of the story. In her dairy she has not only written her own opinions on certain sub- jects and people, but her family's also, and, of course, the Whole town is very much insulted. Since Patty has signed the name of Ermintrude de Lacey no one knows the identity of the writer, everyone is wondering who she is and threatening her life. In the end the town realizes that everything said was true and decides to im- prove themselves and the school.

Imagine a girls' sorority house on the campus of a well known university. It is Saturday night and the girls are ready to go out for the evening. Some are wishing that they could stay in when suddenly one of the girls is taken ill. A doctor is called in who says that it is chicken pox and quarantines the house for two weeks! VVhen one knows that several of the boys who have been working the house are quarantined also, one can readily visualize the many screamingly funny com- plications and mix-ups that follow. ln Campus Quarantine, the author has taken an in- cident that really happened and has woven a play that is so packed with funny lines, humorous situations and witty dialogue, that an audience never experiences a dull moment. Yes, the juniors will be remembered for making this play live in the minds of the audience. Eugene and Louis in their pajamas, and Ed as a nurse will never be for- gotten.
