Aged Povis Sisters ANOTHER BOISTEROUS FAMILY agrument by the Reardons, spices the play with humor. Captivate Audiences A New York basement apartment in 1915 set the stage for the Senior Class Play, Farewell, Farewell Eugene, directed by Mr. Roger Delgehausen. The play revolved around the pixilated Povis sisters . The authoritative and exact- ing Gertrude Povis was contrasted by the younger and sometimes flighty Minerva Povis. Both were cast as about sixty-five years old. The sisters with the help of Cousin Peonie attempted to raise funds for their Visit to Eugene Box, a growing fund which the sisters expect to use for a trip to visit their brother Eugene, who has long since vanished into Africa in search of diamonds . In doing so, they complicated a romance between Peonie and Chuck Bailey. The events of the play blended the warm- hearted tragedy of discovering the true nature of brother Eugene, with a touch of humor. This year the cast presented a matinee performance on Sunday afternoon, Novem- ber 13, as well as Saturday evening per- formance, November 12.

 PUBLICITY MAD CINDY Cellar (Pat Shaughnessy), sends members of Mrs. Wilkins's Boarding House sprawling after floating bills. POLICEMAN (GREG DVORAK), Chris (Bill Miller), and Peter (Paul Johnson) prepare to cut out Cindy Cellar's (Pat Shaugnessy's) snake bite. Junior Class Play Lively Cast Presents Modern Day Farce Originality s pa r ked the Junior Class Play, Publicity Mad. A shabby boarding house in Greenwich Village was the scene for laughter as the cast performed on April 7 and 8 under the direction of Miss Rachel Stradcutter. Mrs. Wilkin's eccentric personality brought pandemonium to the boarding house where she served as landlady to eight girls, all aspirants to the shine and glitter of show b u s i n e s s . All these would-be actresses were mad, but one boarder's only intention was publicity--she was just publicity mad. Cindy arrives on the scene with her pockets full of money. She was followed by a horde of newspaper reporters who found her passing out ten dollar bills on Broad- way. Cindy Celler's last big endeavor for public i t y brought about a life and death situation when she brought a live cobra into the boarding house. When the girls dis- cover the snake, the situation became un- believably chaotic and hilarious . TINA GRAY (LILA Malz) and Mrs. Wilkins (Diane Bauman) are restrained by Mrs. Essenprice (Alice Stiles) and Eddie (Leon Zellman).
