SENIOR PLAY The senior play, Double Wedding was given at the Town Hall on March 25, and through the expert coaching of Mrs. Hitchens it was a decided suc- cess. The story of this comedy con- cerns the domineering Augusta Col- bert, who throws false hearts attacks to force her husband and children to coincide with her wishes. Had not her husband Georges mother arrived on the scene, Gussie would have had her children married to Folks they don't love, as Grandma put it. The kindly grandma, however, reveals the bluff, the children marry whom they really want, their mother is cured by a distinguished foreign doctor, and all ends in happiness.
