Best Wishes BOYD NICKEI L FUFERAL HOME 35 .genioi eff!! pfay The senior class presented their play Jumping Jewels , Friday night, April 29, l955 A dim old family portrait, hanging over the mantel plays a central part in this thrilling play that has so many exciting and scary moments, and yet is so full of romance and farcical fun. Sometimes it's a string of stolen pearls that creates the excitement, sometimes it's the machinations of a pair of shrewd picture dealers from the city that create the suspense. Each of two young couples has used the picture as a handy mailbox for their love notes. So, for various reasons, a number of people are hanging around the old portrait, and viewing each other with considerable suspicion. Add to this a pair of hot-tempered fathers who quarrel with each other, but whose young people have fallen in love. ln addition, there's Fanny, the maid, whose snappy romance with the Irish taxi driver provides so much fun and laughter throughout they play and brings down the curtain in a perfect gale of laughter.
