Fall Play Success Comes Out Of The Frying Pan Shocking was the mood, live-in was the rule as the drama department presented Francis Swann’s comedy, Out of the Frying Pan to receptive audi¬ ences November 17 and 18. This very laughable play set in a shocking pink flowered apartment in New York City proved a total success. Live-in was the rule for three young, ambitious actors, and their room¬ mates, three young, ambitious actresses. The apart¬ ment shared by George, Norman, Tony, Kate, Marge, and Dotti was in a continuous unroar over their down¬ stairs neighbor, producer-gourmet, Mr. Kenny. The play gained in interest with the appearance of the doting landlady, Mrs. Garnet attempting to collect overdue rent. Dotti, the most unforgettable of the six, was continually bothered by her aspiring political father and school friend, Muriel. Even the police be¬ came acquainted with the vibrant apartment when they were called to investigate a noise, only Marge screaming. Her vocalizing was part of an impromptu play the youthful actors were putting on for Mr. Kenny, in hopes of getting parts in one of his theatrical pieces. The six kids got their parts obviously helped by their endearing personalities and Out of the Frying Pan was a hit! Oh, he’s Dottie’s father, i see!” exclaims Lynn Hooper about Joe Hare. We were hoping you would be able to come up and see our play tonight,” begs Mary Morris to John McConnell as the other characters look on. 14

Seated—Michele Egnot, Wolf Gal. Dog Patch Couples Frolic In Barnyard For a solid week, cans in the halls, cans in the cafeteria, cans EVERYWHERE groping, pleading, searching, begging for every available piece of change. Sadie Hawkins was drawing nigh and the nominees were competing for the chance to run in the great Sadie Hawkins night race. Wednesday found Falls Church High in a state of confusion; trial runs for the big race were being held in the cafeteria, Seniors were desperately trying to decorate the “barnyard,” and all the girls were constructing their vegetable corsages. Couples, guzzling “moonshine” and frolicking in the hay to the vibrations of the December’s Children, were suddenly disrupted by the shrill cry of a hog call and within seconds the dance was besieged by an invasion of Dogpatch men with their women hot on their heels. The idea caught on and within sec¬ onds, all of the girls had muscled their partners up to the podium to get “hitched” by Marryin’ Sam and sealed with the proper trimmins’—a ring and a fist full of rice. Everyone went home smiling, the girls because they caught their men and the men because they knew it wasn’t for real. Greg Nelson doesn ' t mind playing Lil’ Abner. Wally Kurylo, alias Cave Gal, gets hitched as Tiny Yokum and Wolf Gal look on. V—Y gjPpiL 16
