Sl IUR ClASS NO FITS ALLOWED pw- This was a play with a different twist. It was laid in the waiting room of asrnall way- sidi railroad station on a dark and stormy ni t. qhfhat a stran e and conglomerate mixture of people was tghrown together when a fast train was derailed and the passengers came inside to wait for arelieftrain. Among them were three peppy and attractive college girls, Flickie Nelson--U0 Ann Lathaml, etty Phillips--fMary Jo Vinyardl, Joan Parker--fNancyBurnettQ, who were on their wayback to school, the en a ed couple, Eva- lina Bumpass--QWanda galgerl, fli hty and domineering, and Willie Woods on--gPreston Martinl, henpecked but mana ing to escape her clutches now and then. Silas Dobbins-- fGeorge Cochranl, the handyman around the station, keeps the others laughing with his native wit. The crowd was throwninto apandemonium when Mrs. Vanderventer--fEdith Nicholsj, discovered that her 510, 000 stringofpearls was missing. Miss Pidgie MacDougal, the nosy old maid--QEunice Andersonj, with her natural tendency for sleuthin , finds them in the lunch basket of Mrs. Suarino--QHilda Stokesl, a fat middleaged, Italian woman. Her lump little daughter Antonia was played by Mrarilynn Mertz. In spite of the evidence against Mrs. Guarino, Bill Lindsay--Uack NHPF IHE IHACKH Longj, the prospective lawyer, is convinced that she was innocent and cleared her in a very clever manner. The station agent, Mr. Morgan--Uim Bob Tisonl, was glad to have the whole matter cleared up. As the play ended, Miss Pidgie found, to her dismay, what Mr. Posenby-- fHenry Frohockl, carried in his secretive bag-- white mice. C OMMIT TEES Student director--Elenor Kane.

RESI ASSURIDM Mr. Morlock fHal Burnett, is a fidgety, nervous, grouchy old goat who doesn't like anything but money an never does anything but workand gripe about his pains. He even brings his assistant, George Plew fH.G. Robertsonj, and his secretary, Miss Akers fBarbara Barnesl, home to work. He won't let his daughter, Mary fJerry Carrl, be- come engaged to Joe LanconifCharles Siskl because Joe's papa is poor. So when Joe's papa Luigi fDavid Davidsonl, comes over to talk for Joe, the old fellows startafeud worse than the Hatfields and the McCoys. Luigi has a bad heart and can't take it. He dies at the hospital . This should end every- thing, but it doesn't. Luigi gets permission to haunt Mr. Morlockuntil he gives his per- mission for the wedding. The family, es- pecially 13-year-old Jessica QBarbara Bak- erj, thinks Morlock has lost his few re- maining marbles. Morlock accidently takes too many sleeping pills, and he kicks the bucket, too. Both Morlockand Luigi re- fuse to leave until thin s are settled.Luigi's wife, Martha fJudy garter?-2 comes down from Heaven after Luigi. ucifer fRance Barkerl, the rounder-upper of lost souls from down below comes up for Morlock. Mrs. Schmaltz fCaro1 n Bowlingj comes by on her way down and, looks around for a likely-looking Husband No . 15 fher other 14 died and, don't tell anybody But shepoi- soned 13 of theml. Mr. Morlock sees the undertaker, Mr. Black fEarl Whittlerl, KWQW5 N! come after his body and watches a happier life go on without him in the Morlock home. Mary gets ready for the wedding: Jessica prepares to start her wrestling careerg and Mrs. Morlock fMarian Bartonl is actually smiling again. Right in front of the deceased Mr. Morlock, Dr. Brown fHarold Irvinl, the family doctor, actually holds her hand and hints at matrimony. MorlockseesJake, the newsboy fCharles Reederj, and Mrs. Finch, the washer woman fMildred Klaf- ferl, come in to tell Joe what a wonderful man Luigi was. Mr. Morlockfinally realizes what a heel he's been. If only he had an- other chance. Just then Mildred the maid fShirle Holbrookl awakens him. He had spent the ni ht on the sofa. It was all a bad dream. He cidnt' die and neither did Luigi. A very reformed Mr. Morlockrnakes vast promises, okays the wedding, and peace inally reigns at the Morlock's.
