S11-EN HCODR CLASS PLAY January Thawf' the Senior Play of the Class of 1947, scored one of the greatest successes in the history of the Deering stage. The cast played to a capacity house, and more than three hundred people were turned away. The play was held on Thanksgiving Night this year, a change from the traditional Spring date of former years. The scene of the play was an old farmhouse which the Gage family had just pur- chased. Unbeknown to Mr. Gage, the deed to the house stated that the former owners, the Rockwoods, might live there for the rest of their lives. But since they had been away for years, Mrs. Gage 'Qfelt it in her bonesn that they were dead, and bought the house, with Rockwoods attached! A series of hilarious events followed when the Rockwoocls returned-very much alive! The cast included James Joralemon, Helen Bernstein, Elwood Beach, Lois Dibblee, Richard Sirois, Gay Tapley, David Powers, Barbara Jones, Clifford Card, Gloria Rose, Vaughn Twaddel, Joanne Hartley, and Charles Jortberg. Working backstage were: stage manager, Laurence F. Whittemoreg business manager, Audrey Wilcox, electrician, William Manning, technicians, Mary Burke and Gloria McCullough, properties, Beverly Young, Vivian Sohn, and Lucille Tarrg and costumes, Joan Bowles, Marilyn Prince, and Susan Cottrell.
