CRAZY BUT CUTE This comedy took place in the basement rumpus room of Danny Dover lSteve Brownj, age fifteen. Dan's mother lSandy Littlej thought it was time Danny learned to behave more sociably with nice young girls. To this end a tea was given, a kind of impromptu coming out party for Dan. Instead of coming out, Dan came in-through the window-wearing a home- made diving gear over his head. As a result, his relatives sprang into action: Mother arranged a date for him with Gladys Dopenduffer QPhyl1is Canadayl, bespectacled mama's girl, for the Surf Club Dance, his father lDave Brown! arranged a date with his boss' niece Uanet Oldfieldlghis cousin QR1taBuzanl arranged a date with her friend QMyrna Hobbsy. There- by, Dan found himself with three dates for the same dance-dates he didn't want. Dan's best friends QTom Damery and Sue Wicklinej contributed to the solving of the problem , as did his uncle CRobert Ritterl. Gladys' mother QBarbara Dummermuthj was upset by the happenings, as was dad's boss QLawrence Staleyl.

SENIOR PLAY SEATED: Hamilton, Scott, Fleetwood, Showalter, Bailey, Gibson. STANDING: Long, Baughman, Hanover, Gorden, Hall. DEAR SON Heading the cast of this three-act comedy-drama was Mick Fleetwood, as Lee Sheridan, a rather confused young man of eighteen who thought that his future depended upon his past. Playing opposite him was Phyllis Showalter, as Jean Harkness, a very understanding teen-ager whose aunt, Mrs. Linton, portrayed by Judy Hamilton, operated the town's best boarding house. Other paying guests at the house were Mr. Davidson QRodney Baughmanj, who did not like to be bothered, and Sid Daniels Uohn Halll, the town constable. Nancy Gibson was cast in the role of Amy Swain, who thought that she could manage the town much better than Sid did. Rodney Gorden, as Dick Stoddard, was the typical football hero, who thought the girls should treat him extra- special. Rita Lance Uane Scott, and Gale North QChris Baileyy, two friends of .Tean's, added a certain amount of that teen-age sparkle. Steve Hanover completed the cast with his representation of Gordon Stockwell, a cool cat.
