Ah jest won't be skeered! On April 14, 1961, the Seniors presented A Ready Made Family, a farce in three acts. This was the story of a man and woman who met on their vacations and decided to get mar¬ ried. When they reached home they were sur¬ prised to find out that the other had children. From the first the children did every thing in their power to prevent the marriage and when the marriage was disclosed the children did everything possible to make their parents get a divorce. The children resorted to fits of lunacy, baby-talk, attacks with an ax, and strange ghost¬ like voices. Even Miss Lydia, the children's eccentric aunt helped persuade Mr. Henry Turner that he should get a divorce from Agnes Martyn. Begonia, the colored cook and Nicodemus, the handy man added to the fun. In the end the children confessed to the trickery and all was forgiven. The play was directed by Kenneth Johnson with Karen Husk as the student director.

The play was a comedy, telling the story of six old maids desperate for men. In their attempt to get acquainted with a handsome detective who lived across the street from them, two of the old maids were poisoned so that Detective O'Finn would have to come to their house. After many riotous interviews with the women, the murderess was finally captured and O'Finn was the hero. MALLOY PAINT STORE, Hooper BAY CLEANERS 23 HOOPER MEAT MARKET
