The Senior Class Play By Joan Caller It certainly was a lot of fun rehearsing for, and being in our class play. I'm only sorry that it's all over, and that I'll graduate soon, and never have the chance to be in another Senior Class Play again. There are so many things, though, which I shall never forget during my exper- ience of being in the play cast. The Mad Hatters. Wow! What a nutty family, what a wonderful cast, and what hilarious times we had back stage, is what I say to myself when I think about the Senior Class Play. OH! There are many things which I shall never forget about this play, and of the events that occurred during rehearsals, and during the playing nights of this comedy. Could I ever forget the love scenes between Gigi, played by Jean Willis and Mugzie, played by Charles Boyer Bunker? Especially the scene where Charlie throws Jean over his shoulder, and almost misses every time. Well, could you? Then there was the mad dash to change into different dresses between scenes and acts, whilehthe boys played peek-a-boo. This matter would have been taken care of if someone had offered us the use of a screen, but no one had one. Oh! I shouldn't say thatg Joe Hatter, played by Dave Thayer, offered us the use of his back door screen. Funny, though, no one seemed in favor of this idea.

1 The Cumber- Then, too, I'll never forget those fiery cat fights between the two ri- vals of the theatre, Margaret Hatter, played by Jane Leach, and Elizabeth Harrison, played by Marilyn Marzelli. Those two got so angry at each other at rehearsals that they must have felt like over-stuffed pin cushions, from the daggers they shot at each other. Gosh, I almost forgot to men- tion the most difficult task these two performed, which was that marvelous high-low dance they did. Keep it up, girls, you might be professionals someday. After all it's not everyone who can do a one, two, three step. I shall never forget Angelica, the maid, played by Gerry Grippen. How could I ever forget that Spanish gypsy costume she wore, those cas- tanets she played, and the phone call she received from her imaginary love, Mr. McGillicuddy? I'll always remember the laughs we got, when Gerry received a corsage after the play, from her one and only Mr. Mc- Gillicuddy. How could I ever forget the last night of the play when the No Fish- ing sign fell down with a thundering crash, and made the whole audience go into an uproar, while the cast on stage turned a beautiful scarlet red? Then there was the scene where Joe Hatter caught the fishing hook in his pants, and also the skit we put on in school, where he got himself tangled up in the fishing creel. My advice to you, Dave, would be to join Mr. Jack- son's Rod and Reel Club, so if you ever do go fishing you'll know enough to put the worm on the end of the hook. Oh yes, and those torrid love scenes between Henry Harrison, played by Eddie Burke, and Diana Hatter, played by yours truly, are really something to remember. Of course, these scenes were a success, only because of the expert coaching we received. Now to top it off, I shall never forget the rest of the cast, who made this a successful and enjoyable play to be in. Netta Mazza, surely did a wonderful job in her portrayal of Grandma Hatter. Good thing you found those false teeth again, old girl, you might need them someday. ,To you Bunny Hatter, played by Howard Anderson, I give the prize award for not knocking the step ladder over, on the nights of the play, as you always managed to do at rehearsals. I guess you made it because your erstwhile sweetheart, Nancy Hayward, played by Marjorie Lundgren, with the help of the cast off stage, were holding their breath and repeating those famous words which go like this, Our Father who are in Heaven. As for you, Clara Sheldon, the talent scout. from Imperial Pictiues, Inc., played by Nancy Rosnell, Igextend my deepest sympathy for turning down your movie contract, but I simply won't accept anything less than Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer. I guess you can all see now, that there are many, many things which I shall never forget during my experience in this play. I'1l especially remember these things: the cast, the fun we had to- gether, and the coaches. To the cast, who are a Wonderful bunch of kids, I want to extend my heartiest congratulations for your marvelous per- formances, on the nights of the play. I also want to thank them for the many laughs they gave me, for the hilarious fun we had together, and most of all, thanks for being the best group a school play ever had. Now to the coaches, Mrs. Veins and Miss Rylander, I take off my hat to you both, for your patient direction which made the Senior Play a success. Yep! even when I'm old and gray, I'll still remember this play, and don't any of you dare think I'll forget you either. il K-f'1'esi Center' Sireei , - ,fu 4. fr- - 'zfyqijkfxjg lf. . lim:-S l Bridgewater Public 1 l: r
