ACTIVITIES Senior Class Play 1 - .- A 1. Leonard. R. Gardner, E. Roney, A. Brownell. L. Dyer, H. Tukey. N, Blackwell, Miss Page A villain, a hero and heroine, and a fortune in patents, all combined to form the plot of the oldffashioned melodrama, He Ain't Done Right by Qur Nell, which was presented by the class of '37, April ZZ, 1937. With cheers, jeers, and laughter, the audience greeted the play-cheers for the hero, jeers for the villain, and laughter for everyone. As this play was an oldffashioned melodrama, its stilted and violent action, together with its flowery speeches, afforded a great deal of amusement for its modern audience. simply because it was so reminiscent of Victorian days and Victorian drama. The plot concerns a waif called Nell fLoraine Dyer, who was brought up by Granny Perkins fjosephine Leonardl. Nell is deeply in love with jack Hogan fArnold Brownellj when trouble enters their lives in the person of villainous Hilton Hayes QRoderic Gardnerj. Hayes diwovers that Nell is a foundling and also that Granny has a lortune in patents which are to be given to Nell. He then proceeds to seek Nell's hand in iuarriage. Nell refuses to marry him and Hayes steals the papers. Everything is hnally straightened out when jack saves Nell from being disgraced by the villain, and Mr. Carlton fHoward Tukeyj. who is the mill owner, arrives on the scene and reveals the crookedness of Hayes and discovers that Nell is his long lost granddaughter. Of course the play ends by the hero and heroine being united. Elaine Roney played the role of Sally, a typical old maid, in an accomplished manner and Natalie Blackwell played the role of the sophisticated Vera Carleton realistically.
