SENIOR PLAY XVhere were you on the night of No- vember 19th? XVell, you should have been among the capacity crowd at the G. H. S. gym to witness the most suc- cessful Senior play ever presented at this school. The name of the play was Good Morning Gloryf, but donit ask us where it got its title because we havenit found out yet. The play centered about the coming of a famous movie star to Tony's Tav- ern, a restaurant managed by Mother Tony, Donna Welts, a sweet old lady who was a friend to everyone. Gloria Gammon, Loraine Lewis, one of the waitresses, was in love with Harold Hines, George Iohnston, our movie hero, although she had only seen his pictures. For complications we find Florabelle F leepepper, Dolores Boutot, using her persuasive methods to win the heart of the movie idol. Florabelle and her mother, Mrs. N. G. Fleepepper, Barbara Fox, were the society snobs of the town. Mrs. Fleepepper always had her finger in every pie. Barbara stole more than her share of laughs from the audi- ence and when there was a slack, she

Dolores Boutot, Barbara Fox. filled in with humorous ad libs. Harold Hines was invited to judge a beauty contest being held at Tonyis Tav- ern, and he accepted. However, hc came in disguise and brought along two of his pals, Joey James, Carroll Trafton, and Frankie Fox, Danny Currie, all in the guise of college boys looking for work. Mother Tony took advantage of this and set them to work as waiters. Hilarious complications arose between Joey and Evie Bigsom, Evelyn Andrews, the vivacious waitress, and Frankie and Nlaxy Macy, Maxine Nesbit, the cute lit- tle salesgirl who has come to the tavern for a vacation. Howard Hersey, Dexter Bletlxen, the very likeable villain in our story, through false accusations of Gloryis sweet and innocent sister Glare, Madeline Knowles, forces Glory to divert more attention to him than to Hal. Joey and Frankie have comic love scenes with their girl friends, who spray a mysterious love potion on them. Joey falls into a trance and says sweet thingsv to Evie, but Frankie falls into a deep sleep much to Maxy's dismay. .Xt the beauty contest all the disguises are removed and Glory finds that the college boy she has been falling in love with was the famous movie idol him- self. Glory received most votes and wins the beauty contest in spite of the fact lhat Florabelle and her mother have constantly been boasting of Flora's win- ning it. Howard skips town with the prize money and is caught by Joey and Frankie. He confesses his sins, is par- doned by the group, and Hal gives him enough money to get a clean start in life. NVith all complications finally coming to a conclusion and successful settle- ment, the curtain closed on some very enjoyable scenes for the audience and certainly for the players! Glory goes to Ilal, Evie to Joey, and Maxey to Frankie. Xvhen the romantic couples kissed, whyl the building actually quiv-
