Ted Petersen Senear Pl ty The Seniors produced “Going Places,” a farce about college life. Shirley Kimball and Jeff Sterling provide the romantic interest besides getting into all sorts of trouble trying to get Chuck Malloy into Dartford. Rosemary Lee, Shirley’s friend, is interested in Chuck and helps Shirley in trying to influence Professor Stubbs into re-examining ('buck. Mrs. Kimball is suspicious of the plotting, but sympathetic. Cuthbert Lee, the eventual unraveller of the mix-up, provides a touch of humor along with Gladys Miller, who is the trial of Mrs. Kimball’s life and a pest to Shirley and Jeff. Dr. Kimball is confused about the whole affair, especially when he meets three Miss Malloys. Tin4 first was Florence Ward, a feature writer who co-operated in portraying Miss Malloy in order to get a story. The second was the result of Jeff and Shirley convincing Mrs. Stubbs that the only way to get her husband's job back was to disguise herself as Chuck’s aunt. When the real Miss Malloy appears on the scene, and Professor Stubbs comes raging in to find his wife, the whole thing is too much for Dr. Kimball. Eventually Professor Stubbs gets his job back, he and Mrs. Stubbs are re-united; Chuck and Cuthbert are both admitted to Dartford; Aunt Kate is giving the school a new library; Chuck and Rosemary, Gladys and Cuthbert, and Jeff and Shirley are happy; Doctor and Mrs. Kimball have succeeded in straightening things out; and all of them troop out to the dance. All's well that ends well!
