There was a riot of laughs at the High School Auditorium on April 12, 1950 when the Senior Class presented the hilarious three-act comedy farce, Maid to Order. It was one of those sparkling plays that speed along like a jet-propelled plane, through clouds of laughter all the way. Jimmy, the young husbandwho was fed up with the way his wife's English cousins kept staying in his house without paying board, set out to prove the couple were fakes. He had an old college friend impersonate a maid, hoping to get the goods on the unwelcome guests. There was quite a mix-up, as usual, when his wife mistook Come -on Kate, a gang- ster's moll, for the new maid and put her to work. Other twists to the plot added to the humor of the play and all put together, it provided an evening of excitement and merriment for all who saw Maid to Order.
