28 DON'T TAKE MY PENNY The Senior Play, Don't Take My Penny ,was presented May 15 and 16 In the high school auditorium. At the opening of the play,sixteen-year old Penny Is walking around with a book on her head. The author, Harrison Day, is searching the country for his ideal--he's coining to town tomorrow--and Penny Just knows she'll be chosen! What Penny doesn't know is that Sally, the new maid,is a former child movie star,now grown up, whom a clever publicity agent has planted there to be miraculously discovered by the author. So Penny Ignores Sally (who practices dance steps when no one's around), and she ignores the talent of her quiet, unselfish older sister, Mavis, who has small parts in radio. Penny and Joanna give up playing in the tennis tournament with their boy friends, Greg and Kerry. Greg and Kerry confer with Gram and decide to outwit Penny and Joanna, who has been helping Penny, by posing as the great author and a brunette model. In the midst of all the excitement, the author does choose a star for his play--but the girl he chooses surprises everyone. The following cast under the direction of Miss Stuart, cellent performance.

The play opens with the boys at Winsocki Prep making hurried preparations to receive the girls who are coming up for the big annual danc .. In the midst of the crackling lines and humorous discussion of dates comes Bud Hooper, who is plenty gloomy. His roommates finally discover the trouble. A month ago when they went to see a movie starring Gale Joy—the wham girl--the trouble started. Bud was carried away and he wrote the movie star, asking her to come to prom. And she accepted as a publicity stunt I Bud hastily wrote his regular date, Helen, that he had an attack of grippe and he expected to have it until after the dance. But, so the faculty wouldn't get angry, Bud tries to take the publicity-needing Gale Joy to the dance as his girl, Helen, and then Helen arrives! Bud gets deeper and deeper into trouble but when everything is explained, all ends well with Bud and Helen back together once more. The following cast under the direction of Miss Stuart nerformed for a capacity crowd.
