Junior Class Presented She Fainted Again” One of the most hectic stages in a girl’s life is that heart-rending time when she finds herself too old to do what she used to do, but too young to do what she wants to do. That is exactly what is staring Betty Lou Maxwell square in the face. Sister Connie goes with the fellows right and left and little brother Wilbur is running his legs off clear to his shoulders, but Betty Lou stays at home. No fun, no fellows, no nothin’. But best friend Bernadine comes up with the idea to stop all ideas. If Betty Lou could be kidnapped — that’s right kidnapped. She could have everything her own way in a down-hill pull. So they put their heads together, write a ransom note, stick it to a wall with a ice-pick, and Bernadine sneaks Betty Lou out and over to her house. Well, exactly according to plans, Mama and Papa are frantic, and, according to plans, they say if Betty Lou were only back, they would be oh so lenient. Precisely according to plans, Betty Lou awaits the big moment for her dramatic entrance. But — and this wasn’t scheduled, Elmer and Muggsy, a couple of none-too-bright, would be robbers come rummaging through the house, looking for the ransome money. They spot Betty Lou, and low and behold, Bernadine is frantic. She tells Mama and Papa Maxwell, but they won’t believe her because they’ve just found out that the girls made the whole thing up. Sounds heart stopping? It is. Even little brother Wilbur gets kidnapped and everything is thrown into turmoil — that includes the whole play itself as kidnappers, and kidnapped, frantic parents, and laughs galore parade in and out at every door.
