anioz Cyan .WELL On May Z, after three weeks of strenuous treading the well-worn boards of the high school auditorium stage, the seniors presented the farce, SECOND lilDDLE, as a class play. Miss Sonderman, the director, was assisted by stage manager, Dennis Critchlow: Ber- nard Vonderschmitt. business manager: and Richard Boehm, director of publicity. For entracte music the seniors are indebted to Mr. XYorland and the high school or- chestra. The cast given in full below, starred Eddie Schaaf as llarold, the unwilling bridegroom, and Mary Kathryn Berger as Joan Keeler, the accidental bride: but equally important mem- bers of the personnel were the romantic Minnie Aunt lllarian and NVilbur, the sleepy but- ler. lVhat happened when a marriage rehearsed by Harold but not with his prospective bride proved to be legal because Nliilbur, who Ol:l:lClF:lt6Il. was a notary public, made a hilarious and fast moving plot, especially when further complicated by the appearance of Harold's real fiancee and by Minnie's love of romance., The stage set was revamped and repainted by members of the senior class under the supervision of the custodian, Cyril Birge.
