THE ECHO 19 5 1 FRONT ROW: L. Carter. B. Ernstrom. R. Andrea, N. Fulton. E. McGaughcy. SECOND ROW: Miss Kathryn Megley, Coach; J. Austin. J. Caspersen. E. Benvie. D. Rosenburg. Senior 2 ); ram a “Happy Days.” a comedy in three acts, was pre- sented by the Senior Class at Sumner High School auditorium on Friday evening, December 15, at 8;00 P.M. The play concerned a mischievous young miss, Betty Clark, played by Cynthia Reynolds, whose one ambition was to keep things rolling. When Betty, posing as a romantic romeo called Sylvester VanDyke, started wooing Miss Rosemary Smith, played by Ruth Feeney, via the mails, a bomb exploded. Betty got her idea from Geneva, the Clark’s maid, enacted by Nancy Fulton who had been cor- responding with Her.man Brown, a lettuce rancher, played by James Casperson. In the middle of this, Betty posed as Geneva and began a flirtation with a certain Mr. Larry Day, a role taken by Richard Colby. Mr. Day and his aunt. Mrs. Ida Fuller, played by Barbara Ernstrom, were entertained at tea by Mrs. Clark, the part being played by Elinor McGaughey, who hoped to match her daughter, Lucile, performed by Lorraine Carter, with Larry. However, Larry seems more interested in Betty who was not only desirous of winning him for herself but also for her father, played by Robert Andrea, who was desper- ately in need of a backer for his subdivision. Paul, Lucile’s boyfriend, enacted by Edmund Benvie, was Mr. Clark’s right hand man whose one ambition was to make Lucile happy. When Ro.semary Smith and Herman Brown showed up looking for their respective mates, the climax was reached. Everything turned out all right, however, with our heroine winning our hero as her husband. Jeanne Austin and Dorothy Rosenberg proved to be very capable stage managers and much credit is due to their efforts. The play was directed by K iss Kathryn Megley. [ 16 ]
