Juniors Score a SPCit in (flass 'TLry, USA (fase of Springtime” “If only she wasn't Mr. Abemaker’s daughter. Why would a sane and healthy ma'.e go fall for the daughter of the high school principal ? exclaims Hob Parker (Robert Westhof f). “Search me! I fell for the daughter of a candy-shop owner,” his younger broth- er Dickie (George Nelson) replies. Bob’s mother (Barbara Myrvold) is the mediator of the family and is always helping Bob out of his troubles. Mr. Park- er (Kenneth Payson), firmly believes in dis- ciplining his children and doesn’t think Mrs. Parker should be so easy on him. As usual Bob has himself in trouble: but this time it’s really bad. for Joan, his girl friend (Eileen Grupe), is angry with him and is planning to go out with a college man. This is too much for Bob. Dickie de- cides that he will help Bob get revenge on Joan. Though she’s not sure what it’s all about Gwen (Dorothy Swanson) helps Dickie set his booby traps, for she is willing to do anything for him. But the good intentions backfire, and the three P. T. A. women, Mrs. Brunswick (Helen Hauke), Mrs. James (Barbara Bar- gen), and Mrs. Hill (Dorothy Petersen), are caught in the cross fire. Of course, e verything is blamed on Bob, and now Joan, who was beginning to forgive him, is not so sure that she should. To add to the difficulties, Mr. Aber- naker's coat is dyed chrome yellow with the kitchen curtains, by Louella, the not too bright maid (June Lomnes). To make things even worse, the police take Bob to jail because he has two little animals that escaped from the zoo. Betty (Bonnie Sweitzer), Bob’s sister, and Eddie (Don Early), come running into the house to report that Bob has escaped. The detective (Curtis Nickleby) catches him at the house and is about to take him away when Miss Bright (Ruth Sather) comes. She explainss that the zoo is glad that Bob found the animals and took such good care of them. Incidentally, their good condition was due to the fact’ that Bob and Dickie gave their oatmeal to the animals every morning. Joan is proud of Bob. and Mr. Aber- naker (Bill Haugen) decides he won't make such a bad son-in-law after all. “A Case of Spring Time,” presented to the public March 7, was directed by Mr. McMillan, who was assisted by Bonnie Rose. Patricia Moen was the prompter, and Lois ilcox the business manager. 28

S.!” “All the beautiful roses, and the fas- cinating bridge scene at the entrance . . . “And wasn't that bandstand darling?” “What about those unique lamp posts, and the park benches ? “I really think, ‘A Night in Central Park' was a good theme.” “Well, it cer- tainly was different, and carried out well, too.” These are, of course, a few of the remarks made about our completely suc- cessful prom on May 2.
