Senior Class Play On December 14 and 15 our Senior Class put on their play for the year of '51-'52, The play was Three Misses and a Myth, a comedy in three acts written by John S. Kennedy. The story of the play is as follows: When 'teen age Suzie begins talking to her imaginary friend Mergle- thorpe, the Livingstons decide to consult a psychiatrist. But since Mr. Livingston is being considered for a promotion at the office, and sixteen year old Anne is trying to help him by entertaining the boss's son, the matter must be very hush-hush. They reckon without Suzie, who has her own ideas of helping. With the aid of Merglethorpe and her two girl friends, Cotton and Audrey, she plunges Mr. Livingston into serious trouble by taking an insulting letter he had written, without any inten- tion whatever of mailing it, and passing it in to her teacher as a home- work assignment. His efforts to regain the letter, which his boss has heard about, and to placate his boss's wife with a box of candy, result in complete disaster-because of Merglethorpe's advice to Suzie. Suzie, angry with her teacher, takes a candy box, places a frog in it, and then wraps it up nicely. In the meantime, Mr. Livingston comes home with the candy for Mrs. Rockford and wraps it up in the same kind of paper Suzie has done hers up in. The result is that Suzie's teacher, Miss Maude, gets the real box of candy, and Mrs. Rockford gets the frog. This, together with Suzie's other antics, helps cause Mr. Livingston to be fired. The boss is now of the opinion that the whole family is crazy. Mr. Livingston orders Merglethorpe out of the house and he is presumably lost. A slow- witted policeman, misunderstanding the situation, sends out a general alarm to find him. The girls are heartbroken and things look pretty black. But Suzie makes a final effort to save the family fortunes, and does so quite by accident. Her letter written to replace the one Miss Maude re- jected represented her as accepting a position as the vice-president of some business concern. This letter falls into the hands of Mr. Rockford, who thinks that Mr. Livingston wrote the letter. This makes him realize the value of Mr. Livingston and he hires him back. Anne's romance with Barry is patched up and Mr. Livingston gets his promotion. Just when everyone is ready to relax with a sigh of relief, Merglethorpe comes back. The play was a great success, and everyone in the cast played a splendid role. The mischief Audrey gets into, Boyle's wild chase around the house looking for Merglethorpe, Anne's fight with Barry, Mrs. Rock- ford's fainting spell, the delicious fudge that Suzie and her girlfriends made, and Miss Maude's brief visits, these and many more episodes con- tributed to the amusement of the play. The Senior Class is very grateful to Mrs. Evelyn Viens and Miss Janice Rylander- for coaching the play. The cast enjoyed working with Mrs. Viens and Miss Rylander immensely. The cast included the following: Suzie ............ .... B arbara Ward Mrs. Livingston . .. .... Patricia Snow Mr. Livingston .... .... C lyde Jopling Audrey ..........
