Once ln Every Family The Senior Class of Eastern High presented the play, Once In Every Family , which was a huge success, the evening of April l. The large crowd which turned out for the play was not disappointed, and really enjoyed the humerous family life comedy. Mike Muchmore had the lead role in the play, playing the part of Mr. Brooks, or the father who had all the troubles. lt seemed as though every time he did something, it was the wrong thing. Virginia Ross, who played the part of Mrs. Brooks, went off for the weekend and left him with a house full of kids. The kids included his daughters Barbara and Betsy, played by Joan Phipps and Kay James, and Barbara's best friend, Jill, played by Sue Gibbs. David O'Brien had the part of Jerry, who was Barbara's boy friend, and Fred Thut was Shipahoy, Jill's boy friend. lrl Woodard was Mr. Willis, who happened to be Mr. Brooks' boss, and added considerably to the trouble. Mrs. Willis, played by Shirlee Trueblood, also did her share to complicate things by taking Mr. Brooks' dress suit to a rummage sale. To make sure that father got no peace, his son, Bruce, characterized by Jim Austin, brought home his two army buddies. Orville Kaley was the one who was full of life, and wanted to live a little, while Toni Waters was the cute Southerner. Barbara Reynolds and Sharon Smith had the part of two girls who came in to date the soldiers. Mr. Brooks' neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Russell, were played by Tom Snyder and Diana Ballard. They also appeared to register their complaints against him. Besides the fact that all of these people were bothering him, poor father was also suffering from an imaginary case of peptic ulcers.
