Before football season found its way to the final encounter, our director, Mr. Ned McGhee had the Senior Play chosen. You Can't Take It With You, was the title of it and his excellent choice will long be remembered in our Alma Mater. After choosing the play, there began the rugged task of casting. Many after-school hours were spent in the auditorium, listening to the eager seniors tryout for a spot in the show. After his choice of cast, our director began rehearsals immediately. Morning and night the anxious Thespians labored in their practice and soon the big night arrived. The play was performed on Thursday and Friday nights, December 6 and 7, and on both nights the on-lookers were most assuredly amused. The play, You Can't Take It With You, a Moss Hart and George S. Kauffman production, was cen- tered about an eccentric family who lived in the New York area. The predicaments of this odd relation- ship brought laughs to all who had the pleasure of witnessing the show. To Mr. McGhee, our director, and Mr Slick, who gave much of their time in helping to produce a better show, to the entire cast and to all those who in any way were connected with the production, we say, The memories of 'You Can't Take It With You,' will be with us always.
