Senior Play No, the seniors didn't attempt Hamlet or Macbeth, not even Romeo and Juliet-though some of them were eager to try one of these they chose a comedy- The Whole Town's Talking. And we can't say anyone re- gretted the choice. To Miss Nunvar went the honor of directing these po- tential actors. lThe seniors have all the luck.l The plot may be forgotten soon, but it seems impossible that anyone could ever forget Eugene Goerke's gripping interpretation of the scheming father, the enlightening perform- ance of Edward Studney as the naive Chester Binney, the Socially ambitious Mrs. Virginia Hill Simmons, or the sweet and pure and white heroine, Peggy Hursh. And we mustn't omit the lovely Letty Lythe-slinked through by Thelma Mains, her protector, Donald Swift-Henry Osterman, Alan Orvis-very effective in a mustache as Roger Shields, contesting for Ethel Simmons' favor. Norma Andersen's and Muriel Woodson's admirable portrayal of the two giggling friends of Ethel, the fascinating Sadie Bloom, who taught Mr. Simmons how to swish-Sara Whitnum, Annie, the maid of many entrances -Merle Siebenhaar, the taxi driver-Bill Conant. Mrs. Hannah K. Bortz, headed the Business Staff, Kenneth Kittinger- Business Manager, assistant--Leonard Weber, Publicity-Richard Horton, Prompter-Pearl Pliske and Jeannette Treter, Stage Fixtures-Mr. Clifford Wertz, James DeWitt, Robert Hayden, and Vladimir Grachanin, Electricians -William Conant and Richard Horton, Properties-Jane Myers and Jose- phine Dagg, Art Work-Mrs. Aline Henderson and the Senior Art Class. No, the seniors didn't attempt Hamlet or Macbeth, not even Romeo and Juliet-but they had fun and so did the audience. TWE NTY-FOUR
