Senior Play On May i6, 1947, in the Bassett High School Auditorium, the Senior Class presented “Mamma’s Baby Boy,” a riot of laughs in three acts — a Samuel French production, written by Charles George. The play was under the direction of Miss Thelmagene Kessinger. Before a large audience the talented, hard-working cast of seniors gave a superb performance. The play has a rollicking plot centered around that ever-living thing called age. A forty-year old widow tries to pawn herself off to a widower who is just as old as she. The tables are turned, however, when the widower passes as a much younger man. “All is fair in love and war,” they hath said. The audience heaved a mighty sigh as the war ended in love. Mrs. McLean, in the last scene dramatically says, and we repeat, “All is well that ends well.” CAST OF CHARACTERS Mrs. Shephard McLean, a young widow Elva Turner Shephard McLean, her young son Harry Dalton Luther Long, a widower A.
