SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class presented their play TO BLUSH UNSEEN on March 28. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Helen Metz. Smedley Brandon, a student at Sweetberry College, apparently invents a chemical solution that mates people invisible. This is very disturbing to him, because he is a serious minded young man who would like to stay out of trouble, but every time he lifts a finger he piles one complication upon another. Of course, as soon as people begin to disappear hilarious confusion takes over, and dear old Sweet-berry College comes awfully close to being a madhouse. Finally, no one knows what to believe. A psychologist is summoned and also the FBI and even these sacred representatives are mowed down in the onrush of events, and it is really a fake psychologist (one of the students dressed up) who helps bring order out of chaos.
