Billy and her friends, Push Pringle, Bird Brain, and Punk, are typical teenagers who find that every once in awhile they appreciate a respite from their parents. Everything gets off to a big start when Charley Craig, the handsome new boarder in the Weber home, admires Billies sketches for greeting cards and suggests that they take samples to the county seat to obtain a license so that she can sell them. Punk, the jealous boy friend, sees Billie and Charley driving away from the Weber home with an overnight case—a wedding cake is delivered to the home by mistake---Billie leaves a note telling her parents that they will be surprised when she and Charley return---and so naturally everyone in the town believes they have eloped! The excitement and tension of waiting with flowers and rice for the return of the happy couple, added to the humor of Punk, the anxiety of mother, and a sub-rosa romance between Aunt Mabel and Professor Dodenhoff makes the play end with a flourish On April 22, under the direction of Mr. Schwierske, the seniors presented a well received performance of their class play, Out On A Limb. 1 , - J
