L Q - 1 . .7fne Jfaalaan JUNIOR PLAY The juniors, under the able direction of Miss McNeill, presented Oh, My Stars as their class play. The play centered around a small town newspaper office, and Rena Reynolds QCatherin Schanerj, editor of the paper. Mrs. Victor Turdel fShirlee Schleej a rich lady of the town who would like to display her wealth and influence among the people is continually battling socially with Sherman Z. Pendleton Une Gamblej, a social climber and low strung politician. Tom Davis fBob Straleyj, owner of a gas station and a newspaper reporter on the side, is in love with Sally Shipman fHelen Osten-Sackenj, also a reporter for the paper. The paper is about to dis- continue because there is nothing to write about, when sud enly Iilenore Prescott fNaomi Lydnesj, and her rich friend, Sara Simmons fBeverly Sittserj arrive in town. Elenore learns the state of the paper and decides to see that the paper con- tinues much to the surprise of Rena and the old printer, Yacus White Glarold Sauserj. Elenore decides she will get her friend to imitate a famous Russian actress, Orva Octor. All goes well until the real Orva Octor QEllen Lydensj, and her agent Wallace Erwin fWalter Churchillj, come upon the scene. Everything is immediately in an uproar, but Orva Octor, convinced by Erwin that it was a good publicity stunt, lets everything go. In the course of the play Wallace falls in love with Rena, and the romance between Tommy and Sally rolls merrily along. The three-act comedy farce was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed by hundreds. i' SENIOR PLAY The play chosen this year by the Seniors was Don't Darken My Door! The cast was as follows: Roger Kent, Byron Converse, Rosemary Kent, Patricia Wyckoff, Jane Perkins, Jeanann Bruckmang Tom Garrick, Calvin Greiner, Poppy Foster, Pauline Dennertg Alec Stubbins, Lawrence Smith, Louisa Featherstone, Geraldine King, Susie Featherstone, Alice Billington. Roger Kent, a middle-aged bachelor, finds his way of life changed by his niece Rosemary when she comes to live with him. The main inspiration for Rosemary's and her ally's Poppy ideas are the romantic novels of Jane Perkins. Tom Garrick and Alec Stubbins are spurned by Rosemary and Poppy because they aren't romantic. Jane Perkins is forced to stay at the Kent home w ile recovering from an accident and undertakes to patch up the romance. The two maiden ladies living next door add to the comedy and complicate the matter, but jane's plan succeeds so successfully that she herself falls in love with Roger. E251
