OUR MISS BROOKS ★ ★ ★ On November 19 and 20, 1953, the Senior Class presented a three act comedy entitled Our Miss Brooks. It relates the troubles that beset Miss Brooks when she must, unwillingly, direct the senior play. She doesn't wish to fight with the coach over the use of the gym for rehearsals, for she feels sure that he is “the man for her. More trouble arises during the tryouts and the problems continue to multiply until the situation seems hopeless. But, at the last minute, everything is successfully resolved with Hugo, the coach, helping Miss Brooks, and appreciating her for the first time. We wish to thank the cast, prompters, stage crew, Mrs. Remetz, the Art Service Club, and Miss Laird, for making our play such a success. CAST Miss Brooks, an English teacher . Dorothy Kipp Miss Finch, the librarian Audrey Samworth Hugo Longacre, the coach Bernard Cellini Mr. Wadsworth, the principal.............Earl Loomis Miss Audubon, the music teacher Betty McClintock Mrs. Allen, Rhonda's mother Carmeline Farnum STUDENTS Elsie Maxine Ingram Elaine Jacqueline Harple Jane .
