JUN IORS STAGE 'CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN' Cheaper by the Dozen, a comedy production featuring the antics of a large family, was pre- sented this season by members of the junior class. The play, besides bringing wholesome entertain- ment to a large audience, also provided funds which were used in financing the May prom. The story was dramatized from the novel written by Frank and Ernestine Gilbreth. The plot con- cerns Mr. Gilbreth CBill Simpsonb, the father of 12 children, who believes that his large family should be managed with the smooth efficiency of a factory. In an effort to attain the desired efficiency, Mr. Gilbreth continually introduces new types of think- ing and prescribes certain patterns for the children to follow. Mr. Gi1breth's plans are constantly ridiculed and disrupted by the members of his clan CCharlotte Learey, Bill Hess, Myrl Gephart, Charlee Stewart and Barbara Rasorb, and one of the greatest shocks occurs when the eldest daughter becomes inter- ested in boys, namely Joe CSteve Bartleyb and Larry CDennis Dayb, much to the disgust of their teacher CJoanne Wrassei. A serious element changes the humor of the story when Papa Gilbreth learns from his doctor CGeorge Crosbyb that his time to live is very short. At this point he turns over the responsibilities of leader- ship of the proud family to Mrs. Gilbreth CSuzanne Moyerb. The family cook was portrayed by Sandra Beach. The narration parts of Frank and Ernestine Gil- breth were taken by Bob Welton and Kay Krueger. The production was under the direction of R. E. Gronau, assisted by Doris Lindner and Cal Johns as student directors. Play Scenes Upper: Steve Bartley, Barbara Rasor, Bob Clevenger, Myrl Gephart.

GUIDANCE CLINIC AIDS FINDIAY YOUT B. Foltz, G. Reddin, T. O'Neil, Dr. Brumley. .aim tl Top: R. S. Phillips and Robert Swisher of Findlay College discuss entrance requirements with pros- pective students. Below: Rev. G. L. Fleming des- cribes requirements of the ministry to interested students. One of the most valuable services per- formed for the student body of Findlay High is the annual Guidance Clinic which is held in the high school building under the auspices of the local Kiwanis Club. Several days before the clinic every stu- dent is given an aptitude test. After these have been scored and interpreted, the pupil fills out a questionnaire indicating the type of occupation in which he is most interested. When the day of the clinic arrives, every boy and girl is given the opportunity of dis- cussing his prospective work with adult counsellors. The school is deeply indebted to the business and professional men and wo- men of the community for sacrificing their time and energy in order to bring to the city's youth the experience accumulated through their years of effort. This ye-ar's Guidance Clinic was under the direction of A. L. Mattoon, local dean of boys and current president of the Kiwanis Club. As a preface to the 1952 clinic the club brought Dr. Dwight L. Arnold of Kent State University to deliver the opening ad- dress of the two-day parley. 27

Charlotte Bronte's famous story, Jane Eyre, was dramatized on April 25 by a cast of seniors headed by Calvin Johns and Carolyn Ingledue in the leading roles. The play begins with the arrival of Jane Eyre at the home of Mr. Rochester to Fill the position of governess to the latter's ward, Adele fBarbara Millerj. The first real development takes place when the housekeeper fGloria Luptonj and the maid CDoris Lindnerl realize that the man of the house has fallen in love with the attractive young governess. An element of mystery is injected soon after the arrival of Jane as she hears a wild, wailing laugh resound through the house. Jane at first believes that Grace Poole CEleanor Jarvisl is responsible, but it is in reality the master's insane wife CChris Janesl, who has been locked in a remote wing of the mansion. In order to promote his cause, Mr. Rochester attempts to arouse Jane's jealousy by holding a party and inviting Blanche Ingram CNancy Van Stronderl, whom he pretends to love, and her family CShirley Winders, Bill Malloy and Madellyn Hosmanb. After staging this false front in the presence of Jane he suddenly proposes to her with- out having revealed the secret of his unfortunate wife. The turning point of the plot arrives when the wedding ceremony for Rochester and Miss Eyre is ended abruptly by the brother of the mad wife fBruce McGarveyD, who discloses the source of the hysterical laugh. This of course separates the two lovers. Tragedy strikes in full when the deranged wo- man dies in a fire and Rochester is blinded in an attempt to save her. Years of unhappiness and hardship follow until finally the lovers are reunited by the love which had never died. The production was under the direction of W. E. Hall, with Miss Ruth Switzer as makeup super- visor. Joan Love was in charge of costumes. The high school orchestra, which furnished music for the occasion, was directed by Oliver Schumacher. :area 'emrzmfegfv '1 2 cg, stil lil Wifi '-K 29 t s .f eg is as Y .
