18 TH Ii CLIMBER it in the class? We notice that Shirley is wearing blue, the favorite color of the class, and has a corsage of roses, our favorite flower. After a pleasant evening of fun, we leave the Canoe Club and drive over to Sandyls for a mid- night snack of fried clams. Then home and bed. It was a grand evening, even if we did miss our fa- vorite radio prograrn, The Chesterfield Supper Clubv and had to put off writing the Navy, our favorite branch of the service, until tomorrow.

Davio, T. Murray. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY Under the able direction of Mr. VVm. Henry Moss, teacher of English, the Senior class presented a three act farcical comedy in November. The play was entitled Happy Birthday , and the birthday was Jerome Carter's, penniless young artist in love with beautiful Gloria Maxwell, whose father was strongly opposed to jerry . David Fratus was excellent in the title role, and Mary Paiva was an ideal Gloria Donald Davio was a convincingly ferocious father. It all started with one little white lie, when Jerry tried to persuade his landlady, Mrs. Carter, to allow him to remain in his apartment. After all, he had good inten- tions about paying the rent. Mr. Robard, who as the hen-peeked husband provided some of the play's funniest moments, was of a generous nature, but Mrs. Robard, a practical woman, required more than a little flattery before she would be induced. George Carnes, as Mr. Robard, and Grace Payne, as his wife, turned in excellent performances. Naturally, one little lie led eventually to many bigger lies, until Jerry was in- volved in so many complications no one thought he could ever get untangled. At one time, for example, Jerry had three women in his small apartment, all claiming to be his Aunt Sissy, and trying to keep them separated was no simple task. At the opportune moment, however, the real Aunt Sissy, portrayed by Muriel Mansfield, revealed that .lerry was of age and that he was a wealthy young man. The joy of the young lovers became complete when Mr. Maxwell, who proved to be an old Hame of Aunt Sissyls, grudgingly consented to their marriage. lfxcellent supporting roles were played by Barbara Lundgren, as Jerry's model, Lola May, Tom lily, as Preston, the suspicious friend who shared Jerry's apart- ment, Theresa Seymour, as Marlena, Gloriais accomplished friend, who helped to extricate .lerry from his web of lies Cshe could tell bigger oneslg Emily Thomas, as Aunt Sissy's meek companion Minnie, and Florence Murray, as the stolid, stupid, sereamingly-funny maid, Ada. To the various committees goes much of the credit for the success of the liI'ntllleIiUll. :Xml to Ael II, Stern- lll, goes llie ereclil' lol' llle fame lllal will lie Happy liirtliday'sx', while a man lives that remembers the class of '-16.
