SENIOR PLAY SENIORS UNITE TO MAKE AN ALL AMERICAN FAMILY HTHE SENIOR CLASS presented the three act comedy, All American Family, on the evening of December 3, 1943. The play was well at- tended and war, enjoyed by ell. The Butler frmily is just such a fami ly as you will find in your own block. Trouble comes when Mr. Butler ' s business is about to go on the rocks unless he rets a large amount of money. Mrs. Butler thinks she can borrow it from her widowed sister, Lucy Middleford, who is bringing her only daughter, Avis, to visit the Butlers. Caroline Butler has found out that Avis is really adopted, but is warned not to tell, as Avis, herseif, does not know this. Avis incurs Caroline ' s enmity, however, when she is ad- mired by Caroline ' s finance, Bruce Ford, and in a burst cf temper, Caroline tells the girl of her adoption. Caroline redeems herself by going to the Sacred Heart Orphanage, where Lucy adopted Avis. She returns and every- thing runs smoothly again.
