“Beat It, This year the Juniors gave two short plays in¬ stead of one long play. In this way variety could be presented and more students could take part, with no student being loaded with an exceedingly heavy part. Both plays were well presented, first to a student matinee audience and in the evening to a large adult audience. The plays were coached by Mrs. Schnepf and Mr. Dorwin, class sponsors. Beatnik” This play was on the ultra-ultra-modern beat¬ nik theme. Because of a picture, seen acci den¬ tally, the folks at home thought that big sister’s college boy friend and fiance was a true beat¬ nik. When he came for a visit, they received him in true beatnik style, and were then em¬ barrassed to find him a true gentleman. The picture had been taken as costumed for a play at college.
