MARRYIN MARION The Music Department chose as their annual production Mar- ryin Marion by Geoffrey Morgan and Fred Rose. The story was a typical rollicking American tale with plenty of surefire comedy and tuneful fast-moving songs. Up to the final lines of lyrics and music, this seemed to be a most delightful musical comedy with the audience bidding farewell to a happy bride and groom ready to spend a honeymoon on the Wattagumpus Islands. Characters were as follows: Simpson, the butler ----------- Allen Milburn Charles Smith, a professor by proxy- - Dick Davis Dr. Bohunkus, head of the Seminary- - Dee Stewart Mrs. Bohunkus, the better half ----- Kay McQuinn Cicero Smith, a janitor by necessity- - Bill Kramer Miss McWiffle, old-maid teacher ---- Pat Cochran Marion Stanton, a student -------- Donna Jones Ruth Ripley, a friend of Marion's- - - - Shirley Robertson The remainder of the Glee Club represented the students at the Seminary. Stage managers were Robert Mundell and Ronnie Herr.
