SENIOR PLAY With the close of their high school days drawing near, the members of the class of '45 were all out for the success of the Senior Play, “Ring Around Eliza- beth.” All efforts were fruitful. The play was an outstanding success due to the hard work of the cast and the excellent coaching of the director, Mrs. Altenburg. The plot of the play evolves around the Cherry family on River Street. Eliza- beth, the hard-taxed mother of the family inherits a legacy from her Aunt Jo. Everyone expects her to use it to his or her own individual advantage. Irene, an old school chum of Elizabeth, points out to her that she is being imposed upon by her family and friends because of her good nature. Her husband, Ralph, wants a new boat; Mercy, the youngest daughter, insists on going to Chicago to study sci- ence; Laurette, Elizabeth’s mother, wants a new furnace; and the eldest daughter, Jennifer, is planning on marrying an uneliable adventurer, Andy Blaine, who is going to the West Indies. They all expect Elizabeth to help them and ease them over the rough spots. Elizabeth, in the midst of a bossy cook, and a father-in-law who chases fires, and her demanding, grasping family, develops a nice case of amnesia. She goes back in her mind twenty years to where she was known as clear thinking Betty Styles. The meeting with her family is both amusing and touching. It enables her to tell the members of the family what she thinks of them. All these doings show results that promise well for the future of Elizabeth and her family. After a series of tryouts, the following Seniors were chosen by the Play Di- rector, Mrs. Altenburg, to take part in the play which was given April 18 and 19: Laurette Carpenter Styles Eunice Meyer Hubert Cherry ................
