JUNIOR PLAY DRAWS FULL HOUSE The Movies Come To Town presented by the Junior Class April l and Z was a great success. Mr. Dean, portrayed by Doug Skidmore, operated the village store and postoffice in which the entire action took place. His daughter Ann, Phyllis Baughman, had her troubles deciding between Amos, Stanley Pierce, the rich suitor: and Jack, J im Cousins, the handsome moving picture actor-aviator. Phyllis was a smart girl and took looks in preference to money. Marthy, Pat Newton, a maiden lady of uncertain age: and Ezra. Bill Longman, a Spanish American War Veteran, added pep to the entire performance with their love bickerings. Ezra finally convinced Marthy into wedlock. Mrs. Briggs, Lucille Martin: and Mrs. Shipp, Jane VanTichelt, represent- ing the village women added a bit of spice with their stinging words. Miss Vincent, Joan Dalton, a young saleslady was always on hand with her advice and assistance to keep the play rolling smoothly. Joan Fleming played the part of Gloria Gould, the great movie actress: and Howard Roe was Cecil DeVilbis, the movie director: they were thinking of their own happiness, because they eloped. Other parts were taken by Dave Simmons, Betty Blodgett, Beverly Coote, Kenneth Tassel, and .Toe Torok.
