JUNIOR PLAY Back row: Wendell Johnston, Lloyd Frandsen, Betty Ogorzolka, Don Summers, Norma Kester, Vernon Laverack, Gladys Arnold, Dorothy Greening. Front row: Norma Johnson. Francis Gutzman, Charles Cotton, Joye Kelly, Joe Hougnon. The Junior class play was presented at 8 p. m„ Wednesday, November 2, 1944. Everyone was out to see the juniors act in “June Mad” by the appearance of the crowd and from box office reports. Love can be a wonderful thing sometimes, then again it has its trying times, and as such was the case of Penny Wood. The plot of the play centers around Penny Wood and Chuck Harris, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but always amusing, business of growing up. When Penny’s Uncle Mervin, only five years older than she, brings Roger VanVleck, a senior and a killer-diller, home from college, she forgets to be a man-hater and succumbs to an attack of puppy-love, which is ten degrees worse than the measles. Only Chuck’s narrow escape from a glider accident and the discovery that Roger is endeavoring to double-cross both her and Mervin, brings Penny back to normal. The cast consisted of: Penny Wood ------ Chuck Harris Mrs. Wood Dr. Wood Elmer Tuttle----- Effie Milly Lou Mervin Robert Roger VanVleck Mr. Harris Shirley Wentworth Julie Harris Ralph Wentworth .
